Pros

I have the chance to meet new people and network, share information with the community and potentially make a difference by spreading accurate news.

Cons

The pay and benefits aren’t competitive. You have to share living expenses with someone, have another revenue stream or have a lower standard of living to survive on this pay.

Little Petey and the “sales” position

Sales executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are very nice people in the organization

Cons

In the interview I was told “if you add the mileage we should get you to 40,000 per year.” Using Mileage as part of total compensation is an insult and joke. Brickstreet marketing has great sales people but leadership is terrible. I was told that I was ugly, gross and needed to shave unless i planned to grow a beard despite having NO code such stating I needed to do so. Arrived at a training session early and was grabbed by my lapel advised that I had no pen and that I don’t know how to think. Turnover is pathetically high. Many people leave to work at Walmart and make more money
