You get what you give! - Account Manager Core In-Store Solutions Employee Review

-Self management -Great staff -Room for growth -No D2D or B2B -Not full on commission job Core is one of the most reputable marketing companies here in the Charlotte area. I never once felt mislead about the position from the beginning. For a sales and marketing position I am excited that this isn't a door to door position. DirecTV is a great service and everyone in the office is excited about the product and business model. I never realized that work could be such an enjoyable experience and am inspired everyday when I come to the office.

-Working some weekends is involved.

None. There are really no pros to this job, unless you use it as a stepping stone for a better job as I did.

Worked tons of hours, mostly 48-50+ a week and were only paid for 39.5 hours a week. They lie and tell you it's not a commission-only job, when in reality it's a clawback draw system. You're forced to work weekends. If you don't make sales, they cut your hours, thus your paycheck is cut and if you don't make it up on the weekend with sales, your hours are cut again. You have to consistently outsale your weekly pay or you owe Justin money. I was paid 10/hr and you're paid 100/install, thus if you don't land 4 installs, whatever the difference between how much of the check is "your" money and what you're paid you owe back. Keep this up and your draw grows larger. If your draw is huge, say 8-900 dollars, even if you sell 700 dollars worth one week, you're still paid what you made before, as the rest goes towards paying back your draw. I worked here for a little over 2 months. I gained nothing professionally and within a month was hired by a real company with real pay, benefits, and professional growth opportunity.In fact, it's one of Forbe's top 100 companies to work for. They hire any and everyone and have a high turnover. I made 395 a week by working around 45-50 hours, and that was gross. Essentially I was making 1200/month. I now make roughly 3100/month gross with just base pay, not including overtime. Stay far, far away from this company.
