I’ve been offered a job with a company called Access Marketing Solutions, one of whose clients is Home Depot.
My job would entail going to a different Home Depot store each day for 7 hours and making face-to-face contact with customers to try to generate leads for a kitchen design/remodel service.
For the first three weeks of training, I will get paid about 290 dollars per week (it’s a six-day work week with alternate Sundays and Tuesdays off.) I’m expected to generate 15-20 leads per week.
It seems that the main goal is to get through the process, learn how to train others, then manage others, then manage my own office. No benefits and the “salary” is devastatingly low. But my boss claims that one of the sales guys makes 700 dollars a week. That, I could live with…but still…6 days a week? No insurance benefits? Also, I won’t get my first paycheck for three weeks after my start date.
Obviously, for now, I’ll take it because I’m in desperate need (as you may know) but a lot of things about the whole deal strike me as odd. For now, I couldn’t care less, as long as I know that there’s a pay check at the end of those three weeks. I can do anything for three weeks, right? Anyway, sorry this is so long and boring. Thank you for your opinions.
