I have to say that the training really prepares you for a lot of situations you had to deal with on day to day basics. My manager was understanding, he actually cared about his employees and their well being, You had to meet the MarketStar standards, be on time be prepared for it all, be knowledgeable of the products, look presentable. This was that – more... kind of job for me that when I woke up I was excited to go to work every day, I did not feel like I was working at all, I had a chance to meet very interesting people and meet the sales quota, create fun ways to boost up sales and make customers happy. – less

Working for Marketstar as a Verizon Sales Representative is not simple, and can be VERY stressful. We are a store location that is MEANT to handle equipment exchanges, but we have basically become a dumping ground for problems. Due to misinformation or just general lack of caring, customers will be referred to our store from the call center to take – more... care of things that we aren't capable, or even meant to handle. We can't really talk to anyone about it either, because we don't have Verizon contacts just Marketstar contacts, and they don't really care about our problems. Even though it is a "sales" position, we are more of a customer service store, so the commissions we get for sales are too small to compensate for our relatively low base pay. If the communication was better with Verizon, and things were done the way they are supposed to be done, I would have no gripes at all, but things only seem to be getting worse as time goes on. – less

Not a bad employer, just wished there was more room for advancement.

Great place to work if you are looking for flexibility.
A typical days consists of visiting store locations within a 60 mile radius.
The hardest part of the job is the constant travel.

I started working for MarketStar back in June of 2012, I'm involved in the Google Program, and was fortunate enough to be involved since launch. A typical work day involves taking inventory of the products I have at the store I am visiting, engaging guests with questions and information about Google Products and Services, and keeping Best Buy employees – more... current with Google Products and Services. – less

I have been with the company for a year. The previous department I was in was not great. But I am now on a client team supporting BlackBerry as our client. I absolutely love it. I know for a fact that when they experience a reduction in force, if you have been a good worker, they go out of their way to move you into a different position. The company – more... really does care about its employees but of course every company has some bad managers that don't do their job. Don't blame the company for a couple of bad apples and you need to remind yourself that with companies that hire you based on client need, there may be some instability there. That's how it works. I would have a hard time deciding to leave Marketstar. – less

Sales assisting products for various companies at Best Buy or Walmart..

Very disorganized company. Though the pay was great for the contract I worked, the job was always disorganized.

They are owned by Omnicomm, the largest marketing company out there.

A typical day at work consists of going around to different corporate retail locations and making sure every member of the team is in compliance with my product. From merchandising all the way down to sales training. My co-workers are a great bunch of people who put their brains together to come up with the best marketing stratagies ever!! The most – more... enjoyable part of my job is seeing the employees face when they see the value in our product. – less

Had a friend get a job with M* about a year ago. I retired and followed in his footsteps (with his recommend) to work with his team. I've really enjoyed everyone in my office; the boss is an awesome manager and a big fan of singing to his team members (out of key but with gusto!).

The company we represent helps with mass transit costs for employees – more... like me that live a ways out of town. Very cool benefit to go along with the fun relaxed work hard attitude and the free soda on the second floor! – less

Love my Job! Meeting various types of people. Deal with various customer services issues.

Just read a posting for this company. All the requirements they ask for and they are going to pay you 14-16 an hour.
Typical blood sucking vamp of a company!!!

I must manage the schedule for the whole region(NJ) and make sure that it is submitted to me by 11 am every Monday. We attend anywhere from 2 to five calls a day. I also do New Hire Trainings every other week or when needed.

I knew this was a temporary position when I took the job, but what a great experience.

I learned how to educate guests in the store and not to just sale to them.

I enjoyed generally enjoyed being a brand rep, especially as a rep for Google. I didn't have a boos breathing down my neck and we were encouraged to learn and meet people. The bad was that there was such a lack of products we were representing, it was hard us for us to justify our existence and we caused frustration for vendors because we got people – more... excited about products they essentially could not get. This made it harder for the vendors to nail down a product that was available to them, the customer frequently walked out empty handed.

We were told this was a very temporary project but led to believe that this could turn into something else or we would be working much longer. Working such a short time was frustrating because all the time spent learning the job could cut into free time best spent searching for another position.

We all worked specifically within Best Buy, mostly a fixed store but we were given the option to sub at other stores.
This was a national / international project. – less

Trained, Sold, and Marketing to customers and the wireless reps who sold Blackberry smartphone.
