DMC Atlanta

Why do you do what you do? The question isn't, "What are you working towards?", but rather, "Why are you working towards whatever it is?"

Your "why" is determined by your core values, and this is what I learned at DMC Atlanta. Of course, I gained a lot of necessary business skills and was able to better myself both personally and professionally through hard work and discipline, but my own greatest strengths are Ideation and Connectedness --having to do with great ideas and why things are the way they are, how we can get them to where they need to be, how everything is connected (especially people). DMC Atlanta is in the "People Helping People" business, and you can only be as good as those around you.

This is the way a leader thinks --they don't settle for the way things are and can push themselves and others to a different level. They are able to positively influence and create other leaders who can grow exponentially. This is both "what" DMC Atlanta strives to do and instill in others, and "why" they do what they do. This is the message. And they provide a place for others with the same passion for life, who set goals and reach them, who want to take others on an amazing journey with them and inspire people to accomplish great things.

Anyone willing to make the commitment and personal changes necessary to become successful will thrive at DMC Atlanta. That's where the process comes in and the hard work creates the leader. It is a testing through fire of sorts, but anything in life is if one is to become great. There is no better place to learn these things and be molded into the leader you know you can become than at DMC Atlanta. My review will say "Former Employee", however I no longer work there because they have provided me with greater partnering opportunities outside of Atlanta. Yet, I still consult with and learn from the coaching that they continue to provide for me and my business. This company provided me with the right, one-on-one development to become who I am and set me on a course to become even greater on my own as I continue to create leaders who influence and provide opportunity for others as well.

Bonus: I got to travel all over the country, represent amazing clients, and meet a ton of leaders who I continue to network and create lifelong relationships with.

DMC Atlanta gave me so many real world skills. I not only learned sales and marketing, but I learned how to develop leadership, business, and management skills in myself and others. I learned how to manage a team in an encouraging and productive way, as well as how to communicate more effectively. I learned that I can thrive in a fast paced environment and that I can teach others how to build their confidence, find their personal values and incorporate all of that into a career. 

I accomplished all of this as an account manager at DMC Atlanta and through the management development program. I learned it by being a part of one of the best cultures and working environments I've been in. The people are seriously amazing. They're fun, motivated, positive, and always always willing to help. The management is absolutely fantastic. They're present, motivating, inspiring, and they challenged me to push myself more than I thought I could, and they were always right. The growth I experienced both personally and professionally will be with me and continue for the rest of my life. I'd also say this ties into one of the most difficult parts of being with DMC Atlanta, for myself anyway, growth and development is never easy. When I actually started developing my ability to lead and manage a team, I was faced with the facts that I had a LOT of things to work on. However, this is also the best part in that when I did learn, I was able to help my team more and see them grow and thrive, that's the best part. Helping people see their potential is one of the main things I value and making a career out of your values is incredibly fulfilling. 

Over all DMC Atlanta is the place I've gained the most experience, had the most fun, worked the hardest, and created a career that makes me feel like I'm actually making a difference.

Account Manager / Corporate Sales Trainer 
Day to day was new customer acquisitions for DirecTV as a client as well as management, training and motivation of a medium sized sales team. 
 
I learned and implemented: 
- Direct sales processes and strategies 
- Business recruiting, interviewing and talent scouting 
- Conducting sales and management training
- Team management and motivational techniques 
- Honed my public speaking skills 
- Payroll, HR and PR best practices 

I was very close with top management and the president of the organization and have nothing but good things to say about them. 

Co-workers were mostly fun people to interact with which I enjoyed. 

The hardest part of the job:
- Work / life balance 
- Travel distances from the office to the field. (often over 70 miles) 
- Employee retention 

The thing that I enjoyed the most was interacting with all walks of life all day every day. I was able to learn a lot about many different markets through nation wide travel.

The staff and idea of owning your own business is great. Getting to visit out of no where places such as Mississippi and Alabama was an experience I will never forget. 

However the fact that you are put inside of a retail store such as Walmart and forced to fetch clients, and deal with rude disrespectful people all day for such little pay is outrageous. On top of that the miles that your expected to drive are crazy. 

Most days you start at the office in  Atlanta at 10:00 AM, go to the retail location and will not get home until 8 or 9: PM. This is a FULL time job, if you can not commit your entire time to the job then don't work here. If your a student in school DO NOT WORK HERE.

Short breaks (if any), low wages (Base v. Commission) Base= $300.00 weekly after taxes, Lots of miles on your car, I had  20,000 miles on my car  when I started and left with 38,000. I was there for 9 months, you do the math. No gas money is provided unless you make over the base of $300.00. Gas Money is $50.00.

I have worked at DMC Atlanta for over 3 years now and still tell people everyday how much I love my job. I have met some of my best friends because of the friendly and family-oriented environment that is fostered. This environment has also given me the opportunity to really allow my strengths to shine. I have received several growth opportunities and promotions through the years and am transitioning into a new role now. I have never, in any company, been able to see not only myself, but all employees, have the opportunity for advancement and growth based on merit and pure effort. I can't imagine myself working with any other company.

I can honestly say that DMC Atlanta has taught me more and helped me grow more personally and professionally than I did all four years of college. I came from a salary position and was uncertain if I could do sales/marketing or a job where commission was involved. The people at DMC provided me with excellent training and everyone was more than willing to help me with anything I needed help with. The position offers a base pay which was comforting for me however I knew that with uncapped commissions that I could determined what my paychecks were. Being able to have that uncapped commission drove me to be a harder worker and develop a strong worth ethic. The people I met and the experience I had at DMC are irreplaceable.

DMC Atlanta is just a very tiring company to work for in the sense that you will feel as if your work isn't worth the compensation you're receiving. Long drives to different retail locations and zero gas reimbursement are part of the daily routine with this job. If you're looking for something rewarding and full of great opportunity, look elsewhere. Prepare to deal with constant bs motivational speeches every morning and what will eventually begin to feel like fake enthusiasm from your coworkers. Everyone is nice and all, but this job is not for everyone, as you will be reminded of often.

I started here in February and I have loved it since. I really enjoy the work environment and the team culture. We do something as a team every week outside the office which is super fun. The CEO, Adam, takes care of his employees and cares about their professional and personal well being. Management is a huge factor for me in deciding where I work and I feel like it's hard to find a boss who genuinely cares about their employees. All my coworkers are so high energy and positive, it brightens my day to come into work. 

I started at DMC Atlanta after I graduated college to get some experience in the "real world".  Turns out, I found the perfect place to start my career.  The management program that DMC has to offer was a fast track to success. Not only is it an incredible job that offers years of experience in such a short time frame, but the corporate culture is amazing.

So many of my friends would go to jobs they hated or just to waste the time.  I truly loved going to work every day and being with the people at DMC Atlanta. 

Best company to work for!

Work starts in the office where you have daily training. They will always be training you to continue your growth. After training they have games with prizes, usually free lunch. After that we go to our locations to sell. The sales process is explained thoroughly and anyone with any personality could learn the system and make good money. Sales is not about personality it's about perseverance, I'm told "no" over 100 times a day, but it's still easy to go home with multiple sales per day.
