MarketSource Employer Reviews

Job does not provide a consistent paycheck. It is dependent on when client wants work done.

This is a good company, you will be trained how your suppose to. Employees and management are great

This is a great place to work for and everyone is friendly. Coworker are friendly as well as the management. Employees are helpful and tech you as you go.

Marketsource does a bad job of assisting you with placement when a program is finished.

Typical day consists of traveling to different stores to either train or help associates sale and promote a certain brand.

My former boss had been with the company 12 years and planned to work the rest of his career with MarketSource -- until he switched programs for a "promotion" and left 3 months later. In my current program, management does not understand our industry (most came from a different); is late to market with updates, training, and planning; and is wildly – more... inefficient operationally. In some of of the other programs, however, it is a stark contrast. Be wary that your position title and responsibilities can change drastically at any minute. I accepted my position over another because I was told this fit my career path better; now my "90% of the time training others" is about 20%. Not OK. – less

I worked closely with staff and customers as the Account Sales Representative at various Stores (Best Buy, Staples, WalMart, Sam’s Club). This involves collaborating with customers to obtain the best product for each customer’s needs such as: desktops, laptops, printers, accessories and more. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting different – more... people each time.
My ability is training retail sales associates and customers with computer technology, to enhance their knowledge of the best reliable products on the market. I am skilled at marketing, product demonstrations, sales, advertising and services. – less

Great management . Excellent training. Great co-worker. Enjoyed working for the company, dealing with customers and various kinds of people,

Typically you spend most of your time assisting customers with products and features. I have learned and continue to learn cutting edge technology. The management is great! I work mainly on my own in different stores. The hardest part of the job is absorbing all of the technical data and being able to train and demonstrate how it works. I love all of – more... it! The challenge of the information and the people. I love the people! – less

The day would start off with cleaning and organized HP products. Train employees on our products and in 'lifestyles sales" which help employees communicate better with the customers. The best part of my job was training people. I like knowing that when I leave a business that sales continue to raise

Contracted with independent sellers of Cingular Wireless products.

I LOVED WORKING WITH MARKETSOURCE I REALLY IS DEPRESSING THAT THE PROGRAM THAT I WAS APART OF ENDED BUT OVERALL A GREAT WORKNG ENVIRONMENT WITH GREAT PEOPLE

I was a contract IBM Channels Representative focusing on HV Storage for xSeries Servers. I engaged, assisted, trained and developed opportunities for a large IBM competitive reseller. I travel throughout the US to multiple regions for customer and end-user engagements. Because of my specific knowledge of IBM, its' brands, services and financing, I was – more... tasked with a greater role of engagement than my title suggests. I was especially used to create personal and professional meetings and events with local IBM Sales Teams and the reseller. This was very helpful in the increase the opportunity pipeline for both. We were a virtual team and we had a very good team-leader who engaged us weekly and we shared ideas and information. – less

My typical day was to go into walmarts and to train their connection employees on selling tmobile products and sell some products myself.

Being in the field and away from an immediate supervisor, one had to learn to be independent. Once your personal track record is built, management does not micro manage.

If you work for this company, it's all in who you know that gets you advancement. If you are not part of the "club" you will never get ahead. I am not a disgruntal exemployee either. I worked there for 4 years, but there was no room for advacement. They gave positions to people because of who they were, not what they did or proved.

Because this position is basically managed remotely you start most days off contacting different electronics stores to let the know you'll be coming in to do some training or selling at a certain time.
You check in with your smart phone and train with the stores electronics which is great.
You speak with management only when it is really needed and – more... they help you any way they can. – less

There are so many things to do that it is difficult to keep up.
I learned a lot about saying no to too much work and also many useful tools in Excel.
The management was good but constrained by the budged. My coworkers were the best part of the job.
The hardest part of the job was the management over promising and under delivering.
The most enjoyable – more... part of my job is the laid back atmosphere of both the management and the staff. – less

Good job if you like flexible hours, average of 10 per week, weekends requires, no benefits, and have a smartphone which is required and you pay for it.

Upper management is easy to work with. The company works around your schedule as much as possible. For what it is, they're a pretty good company to work for.
