Cool Brands but company thinks its bigger than it really is - Manager Turning Point Brands Employee Review

Plenty of opportunity to grow within, solid bonus potential.

Heavy travel, somewhat disjointed management can create friction.

Decent base pay with a company car. Manager was excellent and easy to communicate with. Mostly autonomous as long as you follow your KPIs in Salesforce. It’s hard to find work in CPG nowadays, so if you need a job, take it and keep looking. Age isn’t an issue like a lot of other startups looking for influencer types. Work life balance is the largest plus here.

Pure sales with company culture pitched at you, but it doesn’t exist. If you have a good manager, and don’t mind selling cancerous products (because someone is going to anyway), then you may be ok. Extremely high turnover, subpar insurance, and questionable moral values in the industry and company. The virtual training you receive takes about a week or so, and you could do it on your own in a day and a half if you know the CRM. This was a company I shouldn’t have touched and only took it because my manager was cool. It didn’t balance out the investor leader reaching out to say I would be watched for speaking up after I saw racist behavior. I should have stuck it out for the pay, or let them fire me, but I respected my manager too much to do so. Steer clear of this one unless you don’t mind walking into smoke shops selling drug paraphernalia that’s somehow legal (not cannabis pipes, but others you see in the streets). They don’t care about what they’re selling, only that you sell it, and don’t make waves.
