Trident-Marketing

As a small marketing firm locating in a small retirement community near a large military base, this place of employment can be very beneficial. With the economy in the united states and in North Carolina itself in a down slide, the job allows you to either establish a start to a career based employment options or can be a well needed solidified place of employment. In the company as a whole there is very little options for advancement but will with hard work ethic you can maintain and support a simple family, or allow to continue your education or allow to establish yourself as a self serving member of society.
A typical work day involve a great number of people and a lot phones ringing. In a department that both have a sales and customer support section, we are allowed communication and a friendly atmosphere. It settles in around before lunch time and steady but slightly hectic pace of taking calls, making calls, handling various types of issues regarding not only the order but setting up and activating the directv equipment to allow a customer to officially be a customer. once a pace is established and maintained the day generally will breeze by allowing enough time to appreciate the duration of your shift and it's conclusion.
Management there is a wide variety of different personalities, managerial representatives can be friendly and kind, informative and as willing to resolves issues as required of a customer support agent. Due to other employment and relocation rates, the managerial staff has a wide variety of ages and experience as a manager in some form or fashion. There is sense though that maybe the size of the company or the youth it attracts sometime the higher ups seem to establish this weird line between favoritism and appreciation of a great work ethic. this behavior has detriment-ed would what be an overall great staff full of honest and hard working people.I believe office politics in general is the hardest part at being at said job. it allows gossip and dissent to sprout within the department which prompts management to either weed out various employees that had any issue that will allow them to be terminated or have to overcompensate appreciation for the staff.
The most enjoyable would have to be the amount of work. I am a very busy bee like person. I appreciate having and steady work I enjoy a medium amount of change and an opportunity to learn more and perform better. So with that said this place of employment is no where near as bad as the worst.

Oh Trident Marketing.... They will hire almost any and everyone. Every person that came in was given a job as long as they pass a background and drug test. Only because the place is a revolving door. It is rare that ANYone has tenure more than 3 months.  Do yourself and your family a favor and stay far away. They allow people to come in drunk and high and won’t fire them! The moment you don’t your numbers then they fire you! Not to mention the pay is horrible. This is a company where only the top man eats all the workers are treated horrible. The “supervisors” they have running the day and night shifts are even talked to and belittled by the VP. They take her commands like little puppies and follow her orders. Please stay far away from this place. They give their employees TWO TEN MINUTE breaks & no LUNCH! They also don’t anyone to eat at their desk! When are people supposed to eat??! All they care about is their OLD and I mean old leads being contacted to lie about them wining a giveaway. When in reality they are trying to get people to their resort and try to sell them a membership. All for a measly $8.00 an hour. They do pay commission but it is nearly impossible to hit. IF you have 4 people show for a tour that’s $80 but if they show and don’t qualify you get NOTHING! They lie in their ads and interviews telling people they can make over $1,000 every two weeks. BullCRAP! The only people that even come close to that are the people on their special team and actually get newer leads that’s aren’t 5 years old. Instead they get year old lead lol! A complete joke. The day time manger swears by the company cause they have her brainwashed and she’s clearly never worked a REAL job and the night shift manager just enjoys having a title. They recently fired their VP who was a complete witch but the whole company from TOP to management is bogus!  Even the mangers only get paid $10.00 an hour and hope and pray that someone hits commission. They can’t even afford to pay to renew registration on their cars. Just waiting on the day when those doors are shut indefinitely! They have done so many people wrong and don’t even provide a safe haven with a appropriate HR department. The HR consist of ONE lady who clearly has never been educated on how to run Human Resources. She’s just as dirty as the rest of them! Seriously, if you are in need of a job apply here while looking cause your stay will be short anyway! This a God honest review!!

I noticed there a few fake reviews on here, honestly there isn't anything good coming out of this company. Someone on here hit it on the head when stating that there is a high amount of turn over for employees and its usually because anyone with a conscious gets fired, kudos to that person for hitting the nail on the head. Working there for several months I have also been witness to shady dealings within the company. The management have created a hostile work environment, seen plenty of people leave for the way they were treated, I've known about people getting fired and Trident says they 'quit' so they wont have to be subjected to unemployment, one woman was under so much stress from the environment she had a stroke while on the job. There are people working here that do not get paid the proper amount for the job title they hold. I pretty much had to teach myself how to do my job here because my manager wouldn't take the time to train me. Sanitary conditions here are appalling, we pretty much shared each other sicknesses because 'cleaning' was just someone coming around in the evenings to collect the trash. I would not recommend this job to anyone unless you desperately needed one, and with that, don't stop looking at other alternatives because you're not going to want to stay for long either.

A typical day at Trident Marketing is very competitive, full of energy and also loud but it also taught me to how to interact with customers how to cooperate with others and consider each others ideas! The management was great..they mad sure we had the energy we need to sell the product! We had time meeting to talk about the goals for the day and also our own personal emails that showed the accomplishment of our team and others! The other representatives  were great as well! We hung out after work sometimes and we gave Congratulations on the sells the day before. The most difficult time about the job was the call volume which occurred around football season because we offered the NFL Sunday Ticket for free to our new customer so around that is it non stop! The  best part was the competition with other teams and having bragging right until the next day, getting to know customers were awesome even though all customer weren't  the best and having customer completely  satisfied and excited and the packages and devices they received for their home!

It is a sales job so if you don’t want to sale products then this isn’t the job for you . You make hourly pay but commission is where you get the most money . This would be the perfect stepping stone job to get call center experience but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone long term . We had a sales agent who worked there 4 years and was just now promoted to manager  when others were promoted in less than 6 months so it’s definitely who you know and not what you know . They had breakfast some mornings , Holiday based events in office , current music to listen to throughout the office and endless coffee . The dress code was business causal but few followed the rules . That’s one thing they could do a better job enforcing . I made some great friends at the worksite as well so meeting new people was a plus !

They used to claim that their employees averaged $1,000 per week. They even made me tell that lie when I was their hiring and training manager. They'll pitch this job as if it's the best around for those without college education but don't believe them. It's a trap. They pay you minimum wage which isn't enough to live on. You'll call 150 people every day who don't want to speak to you and say the exact same thing to all of them. Certainly don't take a management position. As their hiring and training manager I made 350 per week and worked myself to the bone. I could have held a job at McDonald's, made more money and dealt with less bs. If you're looking for a good job, keep looking. They cycle through employees like someone with the flu goes thru Kleenex.

This company has been in crisis mode for years now and has only continued to get worse.  Was witness to many back room executive  meetings regarding 'worker bees". Just about everyone in Moore County and beyond has either worked there or has a loved one or friend who has ...smart ones leave, good people with a conscious get fired, desperate ones get abused...only work there if you enjoy:
1. Feeling unappreciated/unwanted 
2. Being lied to and threatened with your job daily
3. Ever-changing pay scales
4. Shady management/executives lacking integrity & moral compass
5. High turnover
6. Working for company with a horrible reputation
7. Losing your soul

This is no joke from someone from the inside management team who's not bitter, but elated to have finally escaped the madness to begin my trek back to a clear conscious.

Don't waste your time with the used car salesmen pitches/mentality. This is a part time job that they try to pass off as full time. Technically its 1 hr per week more than pt so thats how they get you.This is a call center that has struggled to correct issues that hinder the CSR from making money. You will continue to call the same people everyday even tho they said you called the wrong number or they dont want it. The only people who make commission are on inbound and they use tactics to avoid asking who left them a message or previously talked to. The idea of making money is there but for most is just an idea not reality. And oh yeah, most if not all of the "positive" reviews are faked.

I love working here! I would stay here for the foreseeable future if I weren't moving. 5 weeks worth of PTO among other things makes everything awesome. The people here are great as well.

My boss is also super easy going.  I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and you would think that working while having a chronic illness would be difficult.  But, no.  Here, the people care and help me out on days that aren't as great as they could be.  My boss has also made it so much easier for me do deal with than most people would have.

The sales reps can be hard to wrangle some days, but we all get along in the end.  It's just like a large family where you have a pesky brother who gets on your nerves, but in the long run, you really do love the little bugger.

Trident Beverage is a great company to work for.  The products they represent are a good fit for the K-12 market.  Each day was exciting as it had its own uniqueness.  Over the past 10 years I have learned a great deal about the K-12 market and the guidelines set forth by the USDA.  I have also been able to generate a wonderful customer base which I maintained on a daily basis.  The most difficult part of the job was finding employees that had the same passion for customer service as I do.  I really enjoy the experience of meeting new people and the challenge of closing new accounts.
