Im learning something new every day I work here. Management team is really engaged with the ground level, great training, and I feel recognized when I perform well! I love the merit-based structure, feeling like Im making a difference to our clients, and Im making really good money in the process. I couldnt ask for a better career path!
At this company I was able to grow as a sales representative! It was also cool to learn about the different clients that we manage.
Had an amazing round of interviews. On time professional experience, I ended up not taking the job due to high end focus on management training. Highly recommended for people looking to go into sales, marketing and business management.
Highly professional, energetic work culture. Loved my time here, too bad the internship was too short. Looking forward to a full time opportunity in the future.
I recently interviewed for a entry level position at this company. The interview set up was quite different from what I was used to. I was offered the position but turned it down because the start pay is quite low, and there is no guarantee it will go up, plus they do not offer benefits packages for their employees. The name of the company was not mentioned anywhere in the building it resides in. It seems as if they only have a few employees (5-6?). We were given no real explanation of what we would actually be doing on the job, and the website has a lot of filler words/ sentences that give an off-putting feeling to the legitimacy of the company. Wishing the best of luck to this company, but not a great place to start if you have your own bills/rent/ other responsibilities.
I want to start off by saying that from working with Ironwood, alot of people don’t value their own time or worth so they justify their failures on this company as a MLM so they can feel better about themselves when in reality they are looking for a fastfood pace type of work. Yes you do have to put work and this company teaches you to value your time and work, and you meet other like minded people who are doing better then your doctor/lawyer through this company and are willing to share their knowledge to you for free. This company has taught me many lessons and I’ve met life long friends as well as people who wants to work for someone else the rest of their life. To summarize, yes you got to work because it is entrepreneurship, but if you’re not confident in your own abilities then go find something else.
Outstanding place to work for. Professionalism is great and the potential to grow is exponential.
*** I will start this off by stating I did NOT work for this company, but I did go to two separate interviews & I’m rather disappointed.TLDR: Essentially a Pyramid scheme. Start pay is $14/hr, or $70 for commission as you sell ‘lines’ while working at a booth in various retail locations. Hours are weird, (9am-10am for an in-office meeting then you travel to your location to work 11am-7pm). You have Tuesday’s & Wednesday’s off, weekends are ‘key’ to work. Pay is weekly. Interviewer suggested you can change your hours if you’d like but you’d be part time.My first interview, scheduled for 10:15am, I show up at 10:00am. I sat in the waiting room far beyond my scheduled time, questioning the person working at the front desk whom had no idea as to why I was there as nobody was in the office to interview me. I call the recruiter, no answer. I question the front desk person again, no answer. Another person whom had an interview at 10:00am is clearly flustered and has no idea what’s going on either.Around 10:35am the interviewer comes in, (I forget his name) and he takes the person who was there before me. 10:50am rolls around, which is when he finally pulls me into the room. He was kind, I have nothing against him and I understand things happen but it was a huge red flag to see that there wasn’t any communication between employees.During the first interview, it was roughly 10-15mins where he didn’t tell me much about the job, just that they’re a marketing firm that works with retail locations (such as AT&T, BJs Wholesaler, Sams Club, etc.) He asked me about myself, what my personality was like, etc. He tells me that they’re not looking for an entry level position, but more so a market manager, someone who oversees a team.All’s well & good, we schedule another interview two days later to talk about my responsibilities if I were to get hired along with pay.Second interview rolls around, scheduled for 10:00am. I show up at 9:45am, and I run into the same issue as before. Interviewer finally pulls me in the room around 10:15am-10:20am. He goes over the job position, the pay, hours, responsibilities, etc. He then tells me (contradicting his statement during our first interview) that they ARE looking for an entry level position, someone who will be in different locations selling ‘lines’ for their clients. He made it sound like a door-to-door position, but explained it’s more so of a “standing at a booth, making sales” position.Then we go over pay. He begins to tell me that for the entry level position, it’s either hourly or commission based (depending on what works best for you.) By that, he said start pay is $14/hr which is $600/wk. Commission is $70/line. If I were only to sell 2 lines ($140) for the week, I would get my hourly pay ($600) as it’s what’s best for me. Though, if I were to sell 20 lines, my weekly pay would be $1,400.He then mentions the ‘move up’ process, how I could potentially make $100k+ within my first year & how my future responsibilities would be to onboard more entry level agents.The reason as to why I believe this is a pyramid scheme is because they rope you in by telling you one thing, then during your second interview they tell you another. You start off working in retail locations which supposedly only lasts 2-4wks, then you move up, work in another position for X amount of time, move up & it just repeats until you’re somehow overseeing branches, no longer working & collecting residual income from said branches making $250k+ per year. Supposedly this process only takes about a year or two, which seems entirely too good to be true.Overall, I’m rather annoyed that I wasted my time, & if I were to be offered the job I would turn it down as it was not what I applied for on Indeed & the company seems a bit unprofessional with bad communication between employees. Interviewer was nice though, nothing against him whatsoever.
Ironwoods drive and passion for the marketing field is contagious. I started working with Tyler (manager) in Tempe, AZ shortly before he received a promotion to manage over our Tuscon region. I know he will do great things in Burlington as he continues to be a values-based leader, helping people grow and gain experience in the marketing and business field.
I love working for this company! I am learning something new constantly!
Ironwood Marketing is a growing and learning environment where the managers genuinely care about you and want to see you succeed.
Great ppl to work with, amazing work culture
So excited to start My career here!
