Pros

Great location. That is it!!

Cons

Everything and everyone! You are expected to make over 100 cold calls a day! Only thing on your desk is a phone. This place is a joke. Stay far away and make a better career move! All the positive reviews here are complete jokes and lies. Do not fall for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is HR writing it themselves.

Pros

Just unbelievable how bad and ruthlessly evil Marcus Evans is.

Cons

The company is evil-- they create a toxic work environment in hopes you quit as soon as possible so that they can steal the leads you have generated. New hires are lead generator donkeys to be yelled at and abused in front of the entire office staff and then summarily fired so that they can steal your leads and pocket your commission. Managers know only one thing- get you to provide hundreds of leads every week and get you on the phones to warm up the leads. Then they call your lead without your knowledge and close the deal and steal your commission. At Marcus Evans the managers are thieves. Worst CEO in the world. He sits in the back office and comes out to take attendance every day and then harass and intimidate and threaten the workers who actually showed up. Calling in sick 2 or 3 times a week is the only way to stay off the CEO's radar. Otherwise he will abuse you ridicule you in front of the entire staff and pray you quit so he can hire someone else and steal their leads and commissions. Marcus Evans hires and then fires 20% of their sales force every 3 weeks. The average new hire lasts less than 2 weeks. They want you on the phones warming up the leads you spent dozens of hours a week generating so that the manager can call your warmed up lead and steal your deal. Abusive management. The company is clearly a scam and we lie to the clients all day long. We lie to them about the cost and about who will be attending the Summit business meetings. We lie about the success rate of the few clients we had in the past. I personally lied to every single CEO I got on the phone dropping names of executives that we never really worked with. We say we have worked with so and so in the past but it is a lie. The work day is 12 hours long and you are required to make 150 calls a day otherwise you are fired. In an office of 15 people 10 of them quit or were fired after just 3 months! The turnover rate is over 200% a year. The high turnover is the business model. Its a pyramid scheme. Every 3 weeks Marcus Evans in New York hires 4 new people and then fires 4. Every 3 weeks expect a new group to come in to replace you. As I said expect to be abused until you quit. The people who stay are the losers. At Marcus Evans its the winners that quit. Why would anyone want to work for a corrupt company? As a project executive the managers steal your leads then steal your deal and pocket your commission all the while while you are lying to the client and ripping them off Marcus Evans is doing the same to you.

Cons

I chose not to believe the Glassdoor reviews when I was hired and I regret it. This office was draining in every way. Towards the end fellow coworkers and I dreaded coming in the next morning just as soon as we returned home each night. It was a small office of less than 10 people, and management did everything possible to avoid showing me the workspace until my first day. The office is tiny, dark, and cold with no amenities, conference room, drinkable tap water, or wifi. Almost all of what I was told in interviews turned out to be lies, including (but not limited to) salary, commission structure, benefits, clients, and office culture. Every hour of the day is scheduled by management, eerily similar to the first grade, and you are constantly being watched and listened to. "Micromanagement" would be a gross understatement. The "family-like culture" bubble is popped right off the bat. The way management speaks to us is often inappropriate not only for the workplace, but in general, and I have seldom in my life encountered individuals as fake, manipulative, or petty as these. I don't know why I tolerated it this long, at this salary. If you are interviewing for a position at marcus evans please consider this brief review and know that they have been barred from posting on Indeed for multiple accounts of false advertisement and other deceptive recruitment tactics.
