Pros
As a summer intern at Ares Direct, I was exposed to the culture and mentality that drives success in the direct marketing business. While my stay was temporary, I was still treated like an employee and enjoyed the same training and experience as if I were a full-time hire. The managers were incredible coaches that not only built up my confidence, but also equipped me with the fundamentals of public speaking and leadership to help propel my skills forward to the next level. The work is fast-paced and advancement extremely quick; I found myself learning extremely rapidly, and naturally, in their encouraging and goal-focused environment. If you're interested in a business that really focuses on developing YOU as the final product, then Ares Direct and its management team are who you're looking for.
Cons
While the advancement is quick, that is only because the hours are longer to compress the time spent. Not only that, but succeeding in this business is difficult. If you're not ready or willing to learn and grow from the fantastic coaching of the management team, you'll have a much harder time moving forward.
