Zone Marketing

I am not sure exactly where all of these reviews came from. I'm sure everyone who has posted before me has their reasons for posting.

When I was first contacted by Zone Marketing I checked out the reviews just like anyone else. I've always been leery to believe everything I read online so I figured I would check it out. I actually decided that the commute was too far away but I still thought I needed to dispute what I've read. They answered every question I had on my initial interview and spent almost an hour with me.

Scott told me exactly what I would be doing and allowed me to go on a job shadow for the second round interview. Compared to other interviews I've been on this was by far the most professional and I enjoyed my time.

I figured I would take a minute out of my day to give my account of the company. Take it for what its worth.

I get emails once a day, after posting resume on careerbuilder, and unknown phone calls (I'm assuming from them). I don't answer or respond to emails that are unknown. I know what categories I've checked and telemarketing isn't one of them.

I was recently contacted by Zone marketing because of my resume. The girl on the phone- Cashmere (?)- informed me that I would be a good fit for the available position at this place.

Her whole speech seemed scripted. Because I've been contacted by other companies that are scams, I did my research and realized Zone Marketing is in fact another door-to-door scam company. The same people manage zone that managed Cohesion and that management is the same people that were at Grand Marketing. Zone said they've been in town since 2012 but there is NO record of them online until November 2013.

Their website is poor and on Facebook it says that they were founded Dec 5 2012 but didn't join Facebook until 26 Nov 2013. The Cohesion website is now missing but Zone is up and running. The same thing happened when Grand Marketing vanished and Cohesion happened.

Do youre research! See what the reviews for those other companies are and don't waste your time.

Zone Marketing is a door-to-door, commission only job selling AT&T that has little room for growth and that is known for scamming people which is why they have such a high turnover rate. They recruit every day all day because of how quickly eople quit the company.

That's right, folks. The scam artists from Grand Marketing and Cohesion, Inc are at it again.

Same people, same scam.

I moved up to Grand Rapids in September on a whim because I got a job offer from these people. *** decision. At that time, their name was Cohesion, Inc. I didn't find out until later that Cohesion, Inc was formerly Grand Marketing. Must've changed their name because Grand Marketing was taking some heat on here as well.

Zone Marketing is run by college-aged kids/college graduates. Unprofessional atmosphere. The whole time, these people are blowing your head up about how you have so many opportunities for advancement which really just means if you sell AT&T U-verse for them for 3 or more years, you'll be able to own your own scam of a company, manipulating people to sell AT&T U-verse for you.

I showed up on the first day to endure a gruelingly hot 9 hours roasting in the sun, walking door to door trying to cold-call sell AT&T U-verse to a bunch of unsuspecting and uninterested and typically annoyed people who didn't want us soliciting on their doorsteps. We got one sale in at the end of the day. After walking around the neighborhood for NINE HOURS knocking on peoples' doors! I was beyond furious at how I was lied to, being told I was going to be working with clients. I wasn't told I'd be bothering the *** out of people for commission. This job isn't worth all the effort you put into it and shouldn't be for anyone, you waste more money than you earn. That's right - did you think they provide you company cars to drive around to these peoples' houses to annoy the *** out of them? Oh, no. You are required to have your own form of transportation - and no, you aren't reimbursed for the gas money you spend driving.

I didn't show up the next day. Found another job two weeks later. One that isn't a scam. One that pays hourly.

As a recent college grad, I am constantly looking for full time job opportunities in my field. I posted my resume on a job site, and the next day, was contacted by Zone Marketing by e-mail (Kashmir).

I've gotten e-mails and calls from companies like this before, so I knew it was too good to be true. Not even an hour after I read the e-mail, I got a voicemail from Kashmir asking me to contact her immediately about the job opportunities available to me. It was definitely scripted and there went another red flag. Really?

She couldn't have even waited until the next day to contact me again?

Don't waste your time with companies like this, unless you want a job based entirely on commission.

It is not an entry level "Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations" opportunity. They should just be honest with job applicants instead of trying to lure them in with false promises.

This company has once again changed their name to attempt to protect their reputation. Any evidence of them being named Cohesion is gone, and now they are Zone Marketing.

These are the same people, with the same lies and scams. Their ads on Craigslist have pictures of people I worked with for a day at Cohesion..IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE!!

Here is a link to their reviews when they were known as Cohesion

Be careful of this company, they are a door to door sales company, not a marketing firm. They will lie to you at the interview and promise you management and opportunity for growth and there is none of that. All of your income will be based off sales. #PyramidScheme
