Northstar Marketing

I went on two interviews for NS Marketing. The second interview they told me I would be joining an "account rep" on his appointments that he had with clients that day.

What really happened was that we drove 40 minutes away from the office and got dumped onto the street to sell coupons door-2-door. This not at all what I had been lead to believe that we would be doing in the interviews.

I was pissed and took a cab home after about 20 minutes of it! The cab costed me 60 bucks......so freak'n worth it!!

Hey, my name is Wayne Groover. I worked for Northstar back in I guess '97?

I worked with Dylan Woodrow, Norm, Shane Hindman, Aaron Konigawa (aka Aaron Sanchez)- lesee here the group leader was also my roomie for awhile before I went on the spur to Indie- uuuhhh Linkenhoker- Carrie Linkenhoker. I had a great time. I learned a ton. A lot about life in general.

I learned the most from Robert Ohmstead or Robert Olmstead. I would love to talk to him again at some point in this life. I didn't really care for his little red headed girlfriend.

Seemed like that was just a perk for him being a bad *** though. Trevor was as insane as they come- but ***, come to find out I'm bi-polar too- so who am I to talk?

I worked for this so called company back in '07 its nothing like I read at the website, i worked there for about a month and a half. I was good at but no hour pay so if you worked the whole day and didn't sell any thing you would lose out on your gas and food money for the day no good at all the people there where so depressive not know anything but the manager was so freaking HOT....................DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A SERIOUS CAREERER!!!!!!!

These posting are funny. I work for Northstar 10 yers ago.

I must admit i'm surprised they are still able to humiliated and abuse people legal. When I worked for them i will never forget one day out in the field. one of the other employees had gotten jumped and robbed when he called to let our bosses know he was not only scolded they told him they believed he had sold the stuff for drugs then beat himself up then made him repay them. I see where some of u wrote about selling magazines but when i was there they only sold a cleaning product called amaze.

they abuse the people that work for them mentally physically.

in fact seeing how we stayed in hotels around the country at night who ever did not meet here quota or 8-10 bottle got to write affirmations for hours. Even though i go to see alot of the country Trevor looks for people to isolate and make them feel worthless

I worked there from 98-2002. While there was definitely some ups and downs and members who definitely couldn’t *** it.

I was 18 and had the time of my life , probably because I was good at it and worked in Mexico for 2 years with Trevor and a few others. These reviews will vary depending on how good at sales a person is lol

Who ever wrote this is probably, a close minded, blurred vision individual who is not part of the 2% of scociety the market is looking for.

yep...! me too, I applied to this place and was offered a 2nd interview. Yippe! But the interview involved meeting/ walking around with other managers. Yeah right.

I also graduated from UC Davis, yet these crooks were trying to play me for a fool.

Some of the shady signs included:

- interviewer had an english accent, I guess that was to make him seem more crediable.

- *** fake NFL, NBA, DISNEY, ect. logos plastered on the walls. I DOUBT that they represent any of these companies.

- 80s soft rock blasting in the waiting room

- too many young workers...think about it...what company ONLY hires young people? A real company would have older people somewhere in staff.

- they wouldn't tell me any concrete info about the company

- they wouldn't disclose the amout of pay.

I understand you want to get hired, but you also need a base pay, office, benefits, 401k, vacation, ect. PLEASE don't sell your self short.

North Star Marketing has a main objective of exploiting young adults entrepreneurial spirits for their own financial gain. They will tell you that with hard work they will be able to own your own business and make thousands of dollars every week.

The truth of the matter is that North Star Marketing has people going door to door on a daily basis with no hourly pay, medical benefits, or paid vacation days, and expect you to motivate others to want to do the same in order to be "promoted".

They expect to have you working for close to 12 hours a day on your feet walking from house to house and business to business for strictly commission. There is no reimbursement for miles traveled or hours worked regardless of what they may tell you.

North Star Marketing does their recruiting mostly internet based and in local job fairs. I am providing links to several of the internet locations they recruit from so other people can see they way they manipulate they way they promote the opportunity to seem to be something it is not.

HotJobs.com

Flipdog.com

Indeed.com

Aftercollege.com

Sacjobs.com

If you take a close look you will notice North Star Marketing tries to cover up and over promote the opportunity provided. They will tell you that they are only taking on a few people and are very selective in the people they bring on board with the company when truthfully they would try to have as many people working there as possible.

They describe the positions available as the following:

Promotional Sales / Marketing

Customer Service

Public Relations

Demographical Research

Client Relations

These are all the same entry level based position going door to door.

I put in an app with Monster.com for this company and just received a phone call requesting an interivew. I did a little research online and found this posting.

Thank you all for wanring me about this company. I will not be attending any interviews!!
