Marathon Promotions

This job is for those who are HIGHLY successful in door to door sales, persuasive skills, and smooth talking. 

If you're thinking about giving it a shot and you're not very skilled at this type of work, it's a waste of your time. You'll quit before you get paid, all the money they talk about is mostly incentives that will be retracted upon your resignation. I watched dozens of people leave within a few days. New faces are frequent. They have a strong team of hard workers but you shouldn't waste your time if you don't believe you're good at this sort of thing. Not a place to experiment, you will waste your time and be paid $30 commission for the few sales you have and be sent on your way. No attendance pay will be given, even if you're there a little over a week. You'd have to stick it out for two weeks just to get one weeks pay. Your second week will likely be wasted but at least you'll get some money for your time. 

Their type of company motto is pretty much like this, "You don't get paid for your time, you get paid for results."

When hired I did not know it was a door to door job working under a shady windshield replacement company that offers cheap glass and increases the customers insurance policy that we beg to sign up. They expect you to work 6 days a week .. long hours. No life for a lousy paycheck. Barely make $900 after tax with 50 hours. Management is awful.. they think they are above God and treat you like little pilgrim workers sending us out to the field. Horrible structure. Constant new hires that quit shortly after. The employees that have been there a while are super nice but seem so tired trying to convince you that it is a great “career”  so they can hopefully make money off of you if you stay and get deals. They doc your pay for almost anything. Revolving door… they should be put out..Lawsuit loading.  

I worked with Marathon Promotions now over 2 years. I can say its not your typical job. I have never felt so motivated to be the best ME I can be. The managers push you and support you 100%. The growth opportunity with Marathon is truly, sky is the limit. I was quickly promoted to an assistant manager and training and developing my own team. With the bonuses and salary I never make less than $900 a week. Some weeks I have made a lot more. They have multiple offices thru out FL and are always expanding and looking for the next Manager. This position is truly "what you put in is what you get out", but you have all the tools to be successful.  Put your all into and you will reap the benefits. 

Marathon Promotions is a great place to work from the motivated morning atmosphere, friendly coworkers, great leadership, potential for growth, and the overall opportunity. The manager is a great man who yes is concerned with numbers, but also cares about his team. I’m not saying that my job doesn’t have its challenges because it does. The work is grueling, and exhausting. Everyone is competitive just like all other sales jobs. We do have goals to reach, but they aren’t quotas like other sales positions. The leadership actually cares about their people. 

This is an awesome company with an amazing culture, if you work hard and are willing to learn you can grow more quickly than I’ve ever seen at any company I’ve been a part of! But you have to put in the work and be able to learn, would highly recommend to anyone who’s a hard worker and looking for rapid growth in a positive environment where everybody wants everyone to grow and succeed, the management and all the leaders are amazing.

They will never give you your sign-on bonus. They will not tell you but if you miss one day in a week they won't pay you for the whole week. They will tell you you'll be done at 5 but its more like after 6pm. They will have you take your own car sometimes over 30-50 min one way. When interviewing they will tell you you'll reach goals that you'll later find out are almost impossible. You will be standing outside for hours and they will make you feel bad for taking a lunch break. Only positive is the people are super nice but that's it.

The job is DOOR to DOOR knocking with no guaranteed pay. Hiring offer was $700 a week w/ $400 quick hire bonus PLUS commission.  First check was $500 second check was under $200. Expectations is to be a top performer in TWO WEEKS! Even without experience. 

*BONUS- You MIGHT get a $15 Walmart gift card to get some gas at the end of the day. Because you were driving around knocking on doors.

Since I started, I felt like I could grow and expand my network. The people there care about how you’re progressing. I’ve been her for a while and they do a lot of team building outside the office as well. Every year they have an out of country retreat and ppl get promoted there. Yeah we start at a 650+ base and commission but after about 3/4 weeks the pay goes up as you progress. My favorite part is that it’s not 100% commission so there is at least a buffer to get good 

They lie on their job listings about what they do and what your work will be. You will essentially be worked like a dog doing door to door sales with no guaranteed pay as even the base salary they “promise” you can be reduced based on lack of performance. They also make big promises of management opportunities and having your own office location within a year or two as long as you can recruit enough people to do what you did when you started. Basically a pyramid scheme.  

From day one this job becomes as new way of life. You immediately brought in to a family atmosphere and energy. No one is upset coming to work here. Within one moth, I’ve achieved a leadership roll , and can’t wait to press on. The bad part? You have to learn some new skills and make changes in yourself but all for the better. If you want a career but don’t know where to start, highly recommend.
