American Marketing & Publishing Employee Reviews for Territory Closer

What do you like about working at American Marketing & Publishing?

"There was always a very positive upbeat attitude from the executives. Before the compensation plan changed, I liked the way I was being paid."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"AMP's ideal candidate is someone who is in their 20's and is high energy with no debt, no overhead, and no family life."

What don't you like about working at American Marketing & Publishing?

"You are expected to make 40 sales calls per day - and many to home based businesses. You are expected to work in the dark, until 7 or 8 pm at night, knocking on a home based business door without an appointment and that is not only challenging but dangerous. There was a lot of favoritism in my office and the Manager had his favorite people and gave them renewals to pump up their business and earnings - very unfair."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"When I started I had a low base and then made a commission on top of that - there was no threshold, I was paid on everything I sold. Within a couple months that changed and I then had to meet a pretty high threshold before I would be eligible for commission. But - once again the compensation plan changed (all of this in 4 months) so that we would only be paid once per month - and it would be half way through the following month! Our earnings were dinged for cell phone charges even though we were required to listen to up to 15 minutes worth of cheerleading from the executives every morning, and if we did not collect a high percent of the payment from the business who bought an advertisement up front, our salary was further decreased. You can't expect sales people to pay to put gas in their cars daily to be able to cover a large territory and make all these calls when you do not have frequent pay checks."
