Prospect Solutions Reviews

There is a lot of information you will not receive in the initial interviews. They make big promises about getting to own your own business in 6-12 months through their manager training program but fail to disclose all the responsibilities that entails. When I completed my final interview, I asked if there were sales quotas needed for advancement and was explicitly told there were not and that I simply had to prove what I knew to move forward (which was an overt lie). Sales quotas were present for myself and in order to get to the ownership position, I'd have to train others to meet those same quotas. Retention seems low here, and I watched many people come in and out for interviews. It takes a very specific type of person to do what they ask because they'll continue to throw responsibilities at you that were never disclosed from the start. They say that you're a "promoter not a sales person" yet you have to meet sales quotas. The entire job centers around "trying to have a conversation" with people in major retailers, which amounts to shoving a foreign (and overly priced) product in their face and trying to talk them into buying it (this is sales not promotion). You must also transport merchandise to and from the office and retailers in your own vehicle to set-up and tear-down events. When I first tore down an event, I only learned this at the end of the night. I didn't even have time to clean out my car beforehand (as I was not informed that I needed to) and was almost unable to fit all of the product in it. Lastly, they use internet job boards (Indeed, Zip Recruiter, etc.) to find prospective hires. There you'll find a number of different job titles used, but none of them accurately reflect the position. In short, this company tries to sell you an opportunity by lying and failing to disclose what you're actually going to have to do for the company. With that said, if you can get through it and enjoy the work, the opportunity may (keyword: may) pan out for you.
