Pros

Travel opportunities. You can move up easily.

Cons

You know those people that bug you to buy direct tv & at&t in your local walmart/costco? This is exactly what you'll be doing. You are required to attend mandatory 2 hr long meetings each morning, even on your day off. You have to stand in business attire (heels) for these meetings and listen to the manager brag about how much money he makes. And you leave this nice office just to go stand in walmart. If you don't make your sales, you only get a "salary" of $400 a week. This is okay for maybe a college student or someone young without a family. But if that's not you then please look elsewhere.

Dear Reviewer, We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. During your interview process and onboarding orientation, the trainers take the time to carefully explain the pay structure and our training program to make sure employees have a thorough understanding of what is expected. We are a bit confused about who you are referring to as our clients as you mentioned some we do not actually work with. Our team culture is a top priority in creating a positive work environment. Thus, we take immediate action in resolving any reported incidents in which may jeopardize our team. Though your experience was not what we would like to read about, we appreciate your feedback and wish you felt comfortable to approach either the management or administrative team to express your concerns. Best of luck in your next position! Acquire Human Resources Department

Pros

Fantastic people, positive workplace culture, friendly coworkers always willing to help you. Grant is fantastic Great job to get your feet wet in sales. Other job recruiters will reach out to you when they see you worked at Acquire. Bootcamp for a future good paying job. Learned how to take NO's all day. Take the job, make the best of it, put it on your resume because someone who wants to pay you will contact you soon. Put in the time and it will pay off quickly in another company.

Cons

It's a retail sales job, doesn't matter what the job post says, it has many dressy names. Repetitive (likely because the turnover is so high) 7:30 am meetings to "get you pumped up." These are only fun for the first week. You're required to dress in your business best every morning only to change into chinos and a polo to sell directv inside a Costco, Sams, Etc, (insert big box wholesale store name here). Really no such thing as a day off, even on your "day off" you're required to be at the office for the 7:30am meeting dressed up in your best to listen to the pep talk. Schedule for the week starting on Monday comes out late on the Sunday before so you lear very quickly to make tentative plans rather than set plans with anyone, not to mention the schedule changes multiple times every week, even day of so always check when you're supposed to work, and get used to cancelling plans outside of work often. Pay is very low at only $10/hour, so yes while they pay you "$400 per week in a base pay you only see about $280 of that after taxes (Why its a good job for someone with little to no overhead) to cushion a bad sales week, you get your pay OR your commission whichever is higher each week. It's a very symbiotic position much like the birds that eat the bugs off of large animals, the birds (you) eat, and the large animal (the company) thrives. Eventually the large animal will take you to the big watering hole where you can find some great opportunities. also, a lot of driving and no gas reimbursment or extra pay for mileage or the fact that you have to use your own cell phone for the job when calling in orders.

Pros

The ONLY thing good is the culture of the office. Team nights and great friends.

Cons

I worked WELL over 40 hours and they only put 35 on payroll. The money is NOT worth it. Favoritism is extremely high. They make you drive 1.5 hours to a location and don’t help you with gas. You’ll spend half of your check on gas. Total scam. Only make 10/hr which you can do better anywhere else part time.

Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for taking the time to review our company. In regards to the hours an individual works, we utilize a digital time clocking system accessed through an app on your smartphone. Employees are advised to download the app in order to clock in and out. Once an employee has submitted their clocked times, those are automatically submitted to the payroll company, which is then, generated for payroll. Changes are not made to clocked times unless the employee gives written consent. Typically, this takes place if an employee forgot to clock in or out. We are always more than happy to go over the hours that you feel were missing. Of course, if notified of missing hours, there are certain measures we must follow to ensure that you were working during those hours so we can have them adjusted accordingly. While we do guarantee an hourly wage, there is also the opportunity to make well over the normal hourly rate in commission, which we feel is a great, fair balance for our staff! Again, thank you for your feedback and wish you the very best in your future endeavors. Kind regards, Acquire Human Resources Dept.
