I started at this job on the first of August hoping that this would make up in pay for leaving as a server.  The hours seems great, 8am - 5pm, Monday through Friday.  Couldn’t ask for better hours to work.  I went in not knowing a thing about sales.  I get there and its your typical learning day.  Going back on “training” the rest of the week was odd.  I was to shadow and grasp the knowledge of how people talk to you and how to respond back to those who will turn you down.  There was also the part of knowing that you will be turned away a lot.  Here is the catch to all of this.  The first week you sign a document saying you have to adhere to working the two weeks of training in order to receive your training pay totaling of 800 dollars.  You get 400 for the first week and then 400 for the second.  That’s pretty low for pay honestly even for training because of a couple reasons.  You’ll be shadowing someone for the first week and you’ll end up driving most of the time all the way to Gahanna, then back to your territory where you will pitch to someone in a business.  You’ll be either walking from business to business to try to sell your product  or you’ll be driving depending on the area and how spread out businesses are.  You’ll be spending your money refilling your tank with what ever you have put away and wont be guaranteed your training pay unless you do the whole two weeks.  With this being said, you’ll also be going from business to business selling as a third party which most people aren’t comfortable with.  If you quit early, you don’t get your money.  On top of that, what is really weird is that you don’t fill out your direct deposit until the 3rd week of being there and its towards the end of the 3rd week.  I’ve never had that happen before.  Every job I heard from and been at has said, it’s not normal to do that and should be filled out first day of training.  

Here is what to be weary of.  Not finishing your training causes you not to be paid for training and takes two weeks (losing money on gas time and effort and maybe spending on food when out in the field).  Lastly, don’t fill out direct deposit forms on your first day and not till the end of the 3rd week.  You actually don’t make hardly any sales here which is bad too because how are you suppose to pay for driving all the time and you bills.  *No gas card or company vehicle provided*

I've worked at two other sales and marketing companies prior to working at MG8 and there are some similarities in pay structure, benefits, and company culture. The biggest difference between this company and those is the leadership team really does their best to get involved in your development and advancement within the company. In my past experience, qualifications to get promoted were vague and a lot of the time, left up to things outside of my control... like if I was 'chummy' with my bosses. I don't like sucking up, so that wasn't a very good fit. At MG8, the qualifications to get a promotion are black and white and make complete sense to me. I think most people don't realize the amount of work required to get a promotion and think they just have to be in the position for a long time and eventually they'll get promoted. While that might be the case in some other companies, it's definitely not the case here. You have to be career-minded, have a good attitude, and be willing to learn at each phase along your development path. The people here are great and like I said above, so is the leadership team.

I am relatively new graduate and I took this role with MG8 because they provide entry level training in the sales field. Coming out of school I really needed an opportunity to gain experience and MG8 has definitely given me that! I didn't have a lot of hard skills coming into this position but since getting started I feel like I have developed a ton professionally - and personally too. This role is a b2b sales position where we represent amazon business so you have to be comfortable working with people face to face. We work M-F 8am-5pm. So far I really love the workplace culture and am excited to continue developing my skills. Something to be aware of in taking this role; you will face rejection and be told no. I guess thats to be expected but it's definitely something I had to get used to. The ceo holds a high standard - meeting sales quotas is pertinent. With that being said the management team will do their best to help you improve and be able to meet those standards.

Great place to work, the people are awesome, and the CEO is so nice and cares so much. Paid training, I don't what these other reviews are talking about, The training is 100% PAID. The travel is PAID. The commissions are high, and you get residuals from your clients, so the more you do the more you make, which is sale. For being an Entry Level B2B sales job, I've been a huge fan. Im selling a product I can stand behind, and its helping people save money. Last thing is the Territory and the people, I got to choose my own zip code, and my trainer was so helpful, and truly cared about my success. 

A typical day consists of seeing 35-60 businesses using your own vehicle and paying for gas. Recommend either going on 1099 to write off car expenses. Recommend going the commission route over the salary route to give you a better chance to make more money. The salary is very low starting off, and if you are a competent person you can make 35-40k in your first year if you are average. They are certainly growing and going into new markets. If you come willing to excel and learn everything they teach you and get better everyday you can eventually franchise your own branch and grow from there.

At MG8, you're always learning something. While the role doesn't change from day-to-day, the people we interact with does. Not only does a person learn how to deal with a wide range of personalities from a customer standpoint, he or she also learns how to manage a lot of different people from a team leadership standpoint.

The entry level position prepares you really well for sales and marketing while the account executive position trains you on how to manage a team of people. All of this is in line with the eventual goal of training you to manage an entire market.

I'll make it quick.
I've been working at MG8 for a few months now. My time here so far has been awesome. The training was great, paid 2 week training course. My account executive really took their time to train me, until I felt 100% confident before I opened up my own Territory. Right now I have my own territory, and sale force gives me leads for those businesses. The job is B2B sales, selling office and medical supplies to businesses here in Cleveland. The team is friendly, and actually care to help others. 

MG8 is really growing rapidly. From day one, you'll learn that the better you perform in each position, the faster you get promoted to the next one. From entry level sales, to large team management, and eventually running an entire market for a Fortune 500 company. This was pretty exciting to me and I've seen other companies try to do this type of advancement structure, but it doesn't really work. Here, the expectations are very well laid out and if you have a good attitude and integrity, you can do extremely well.

Working at MG8 is pretty cool. I've had a couple of promotions and I haven't really been here very long. If you're good with people, like you've got some experience in sales, customer service, or even in the service industry, you can do pretty well. It's not complicated at all and as long as you're hitting the expectations of your position, you've got job security. The company isn't downsizing, in fact, it's growing pretty fast.

The training program here is pretty phenomenal actually. They train you everything from entry level sales to large team management and individual coaching. You learn how to get the best from your team and yourself. It's really cool when everyone is moving in the same direction trying to hit their individual goals and the company's goals at the same time.
