Professional Sports Publications reviews

- this job is literally sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day and cold calling businesses to sell advertising in sports publications. It quickly made me hate my life. I don't understand how anyone could actually do this for more than a few days without wanting to jump off of a mountain top. Sitting at my desk I realized I'd rather be digging ditches with people who don't speak English than spend another minute cold calling business in South Philly or wherever the project you get is in. But hey that's just me.

First of all, their sales pitch is full of seedy language that leads people to believe you are with the university or team when you have no relationship whatsoever. They also promise all these opportunities for raises and incentives when its simply not true. They take money out of your sales number for tickets, which slows your progress towards commission, which takes 2 years to get to. They also offer great weekly incentives, which are selling over 12k in a week, and getting a $100 gift card. That comes out to less than one percent commission. That's not how sales jobs work. The managers have their favorites and they are compensated better than people they are pushing out the door. Nobody works here longer than a year because they realize how poorly run this company is. Also, managers talk down to their employees and treat them like they are children. That's not how effective companies are ran. They complain about you being a minute late, but the boss misses at least one day a week.
