Rosetta Stone Employer Reviews

Usually started in the morning around 9am. Opened the kiosk and prepared it for the day ahead and the shift following the morning. Engaged daily with customers from many different backgrounds and languages. Gave basic Q&A's on the program and it's abilities and had the customer get hands on with the product.

At the end of the day, we tallied sales – more... and send reports to the regional manager about our sales and customers. Closed roughly around 11pm.

The hardest part was meeting quotas, with a few hundred dollar program; in a place like the mall.

The easiest part was talking to customers, which comes natural. – less

Rosetta Stone is awesome at hiring. They recruited some of the smartest and nicest people I have ever worked with.
However, they suffer from a management team that can't decide what it wants to do, and oh, they want it yesterday. Pay is lower than similar companies, and they often have massive layoffs, after which, they expect the remaining people to – more... do 4x the work for no increase in pay. – less

Set the point of sale to set the best of the traffic by showing how the product can help learning a language the easy and fastest way with no hurdles or even speaking barriers, by ourselves or as a team with our co-workers. Tough times are slow months where marketing should have done a better approach through different channels to leverage the need – more... of learning a new language. It is so rewarding when you see the glowing face of the customer that tells you there is a click between them and the product to close asale the best way. – less

Rosetta stone is a company with great company values and treated their employees at all levels fairly well overall. The flexibility of scheduling is unmatched by any other full time inside sales/training careers I've seen.

The most enjoyable part of my job is the interactions with the customers.

Good experience with a product I believed in. Managing two excellent employees was a good experience.

As a store manager, I would be responsible for the opening and closing of the store. During this time I learned how to maintain an ordered establishment, train employees on job tasks, and get good face to face sales experience. The management was located in different states all over the country. That being said, it was difficult to get a hold of anyone – more... for questions. My employees were awesome, often traveling from far, in between school, to help us achieve our monthly sales goals. The hardest part was having the customer make a purchase on their first visit, but we often had return buyers. The most enjoyable part was working in a team environment to accomplish the mission. To sell product. – less

This is my part time job and I work from home which is great. The culture in Rosetta Stone is very diverse.

My work there was always changing since I filled a position that helped many different members of the department I worked in. Great working experience. I felt valued here

A typical day at work involves doing in-store demos, writing emails to prospective customers, using the program to learn languages. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping people achieve their language learning goals. The hardest part of the job is the down time that can occur.

The working environment is outstanding since you may create your own schedule and you need to stick to it.

The management at this job was more interested about what they were doing after work than working.

Customer Service

Good performance skill building, teamwork with other groups.

I loved the type of work i did, it had high requirements but it was all worth it. I had the opportunity to brush up on my language skills.

THEY JUST FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY . ONLY THE WHITE PEOPLE HAVE MGMT. POSITIONS. THEY ARE JUST OUT TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE MINORITY COMMUNITY ! THEY DO NOT GIVE PEOPLE OF COLOR , FULL TIME HOURS.

I loved working as a store manager for Rosettastone. If my location hadn't closed due to economic times I would have stayed till I was 80 years old. This is one job I truely loved and miss.

if you were lucky enough to be on concourse B or E then you were going to do fine but there are 6 kiosks there and you were the only one there i barely had the chance to take a break and if so it was only a 15 minute break..you cant bring your own lunch because of TSA and there is no fridge obviously passengers act like you are not there they will walk – more... right over you and your mostly going to be giving directions..if you hit your average you will get commission. but the next month they will raise your average expectation so you wont get commission that next month.i had to leave. – less

A typical day at work consists of maintaining a presence at a kiosk, and trying to cultivate sales in language learning software. Everything about this job leaves much to be desired. The hardest part of the job is to actually make any money at all. The most enjoyable part of the job would be meeting some interesting people from time to time, some of – more... which hold celebrity status in the TV and/or the film industry. – less

My experience here was one of growth and of education. I had a very supportive and understanding manager as well as a staff who was there for me when ever i needed them...true camaraderie.

The company is always stays on top of technology and what the customer needs but can be a determent to the sales force.
