Pros

My coworkers were cool people. None of us still work there. Take note of how crazy high the turnover rate is here.

Cons

- This is not the marketing job you think it is. Every morning you meet at the office for 30 minutes then you have to drive to Costco. You have to sell direct tv in costco to people who are just trying to shop for eight hours. Weekly, you are expected on an hour long conference call after you clock out. Weekly, you are expected to attend team night because management said you will not advance if you don’t go to team night. - They will not pay you what they said they will. They told me $15/hr at the interview and then on my first day said “no, it got changed to $10/hr before you started” they also promise commission money but you will never see it. I made 5-10 sales every week. I kept being promised a “big” check and it NEVER came. Literally $200-250 checks every week.

Pros

Entrepreneurial company that works hard. I like that the harder I work the more I get rewarded. I also don’t like to be micromanaged so it’s cool because if I manage myself there is a lot of freedom. I recently moved into a role where I also get to manage some other people and I like to be a team lead. It’s just cool how if I do well and ask for more I get more so I like the company.

Cons

I have to be on my game and if I don’t manage myself the boss comes in and corrects me so it’s a good and a bad but definitely like the freedom.

Pros

I worked with Dover Solutions during my summer break and it was a great experience. I joined initially to learn more about marketing and promotions, but I learned way more than I had bargained for. Aside from marketing/promotions, I also learned about business overall, management styles/techniques and also got to attend a conference. I learned how to come out of my shell and network with colleagues in order to become better at my job. I really enjoyed the team that I worked with. You can tell that they're excited when they come into the office in the morning and they're genuinely excited to see you as well. I felt at home in the office and I hope to come back again after my final year of college.

Cons

Since the company isn't a large company, the CEO and managers have a lot more time to invest in you. However, that also means that sometimes you'll be asked to wear multiple hats if someone calls in sick or can't perform their duties. I feel like that's what makes you grow as a professional, though, but I can see how that would irk some people.
