Pros

Don't be fooled by the fake positive reviews of this company. There are no pros of working here. This company was dishonest from the beginning with the job description. I only rated 1-star, because I was forced to. If I had the power, it would be negative 5 stars.

Cons

Very misleading company that "markets" by forcing you to wear business suits, travel several miles just to sell cheap products in the parking lots. If you are afraid to take my word, just visit their website or do some research about the company. This company is one of those scamming-type companies you have to watch for in Atlanta (actually Smyrna, GA). They have no tract records; not even sure why they're called 'ATL Events Group', because they don't do/assist with any events.

Pros

-The morning meetings are really great. But they are honestly used to keep you feeling like you can keep going to Sam's club to sell stuff. -You get every other Monday off. And the Monday you work, you get your pay check. -You can quit without a 2 week notice. Because so many people find out this is not the job for them. -The people who work there are really nice. -Some of the products are really cool. -Teaches you to be more positive

Cons

-Long work days 8:40a-7p or later, once you get promoted, you may have to come in earlier. On set up days you have to get to the Roswell location at 5p and you may not get home til 1am or later. -You drive a lot! You have to drive to the Roswell location Monday- Saturday and then go to the store which could be more than 50 miles away. And if you are not scheduled to work right after the meeting, you don't get your gas stipend. -You have to stand in Sam's Club, Kroger all day and try and get people to buy products that they don't really need. -They want you to take short breaks so you can get back to the selling floor. -You have to memorize their marketing systems verbatim, because everyday you will get grilled and tested on them. -When you get promoted you have to do more work with no pay raise. -As we all know, standing on your feet all day does hurt. -There are no benefits. -You get paid $7.25 if you don't hit or exceed your goal ($600-800) or you get commission if you hit or exceed your goal. -Your bi-weekly paycheck varies from $400-700 -You are taught to embellish the truth when talking about products that are sometimes cheaply made and crappy. Honestly if you don't want to be over exerted, underappreciated, and underpaid don't work here!

WASTE OF TIME....

Pros

None except I am now better at detecting scams when looking for job opportunities. Learning that if a job posting looks too good to be true or doesn't have the same job qualifications as most real Marketing companies, then it is too good to be true. The company opened my eyes to the need to research companies before you waste your time interviewing.

Cons

Do you like to get dressed up in a suit to go sell pillows in a grocery store? Then ATL Events Group is the place for you. This "job" is nothing but setting up cheap displays to "sell" (more like harass) cheap products to people shopping at grocery stores. Imagine every joke and stereotype about sleezy used car salesman and you get ATL events group. I was already severely disappointed by the way they falsely portrayed the "company" but then to watch the way they harassed clearly uninterested grocery store shoppers with their sales pitch was almost too much. Not a good opportunity at all for a recent college grad or even high school grad for that matter. This company is a glorified lemonade stand.
