Market America Reviews

Where do I start. Well, many of the true reviews listed here about this company are very accurate. It's mostly about how Management treats their employees. They are spoiled brats that do not know how to treat employees or any human being with respect. IF you don't mind being yelled at, cussed at, and treated like you are stupid then this is the place for you. Only way I would recommend someone to work there would be if there was absolutely no way you could in contact with Management and if you had a great Manager. But truthfully, All the Management staff below Upper Management are so scared of standing up to them that they will not take up for you. I worked there 7 years and have never been treated at a work place like they treated me. I wasn't the only one. obviously. I would recommend this company only as a last resort and then I would be looking elsewhere.

They’ll draw you in with decent pay and benefits, and then as soon as you are hired they will slowly crush your soul until you’re a shell of yourself. You’ll forget what it means to work in an ethical environment where you are respected and lauded for your talents. For most, it will be the worst thing to ever happen to your career. Employees are treated like disposable idiots whose incompetence is a burden to management (which couldn't be further from the truth; this company is brimming with incredible talent that is going to waste). You will live in constant fear of losing your job over something likely out of your control, though eventually getting fired would be considered a blessing. If you have anything to do with the company’s marketing efforts, any creative fire that you have will be stifled in favor of stealing other companies’ ideas. Get really good at using copy and paste; eventually it’s about all you’ll be doing. Even if you do exactly as they asked, be prepared for them to change their minds and act like you're the moron who doesn't get it. The executive team’s management style includes screaming, cursing, berating, demeaning and intimidation. This is not an exaggeration or an exception. Even simple expectations like an annual performance review will be unlikely to be met — you’ll probably get it months or even years late, and when you finally do it’ll leave much to be desired. You are rarely, if ever, recognized for anything positive you bring to the company. And just when you think it couldn’t possibly get any worse, they’ll find some way to make your life even more miserable. As others have said, don’t be fooled by positive reviews. They’re either fake ones generated by the company’s desperate HR team (no real person would ever mention the marketplace, health clinic or the city of Greensboro in their review of the company) or a distributor who believes the deception masterfully fed to them at company events and has never worked one minute inside the corporate headquarters. If this sounds like your dream job, by all means, go for it. There are plenty of positions available just inside the revolving door. But otherwise, just don’t do it. Save yourself the agony. It’s not worth it.
