TEAM Employer Reviews

Team Systems just opened a new plant in Brownstown,Mi and i was one of the first of many that got to transfer. I was also only just a temporary employee. I got to meet some really great people at Team Systems. The management was like no other company i have ever worked for.

Mostly Enjoyable, Interactive Experience. Events were fun.

Individually owned franchises, so experiences may be quite carried

I managed 5 promo teams in South TX. I was eager to make the transition over from sales into marketing. I worked regularly from my home office on admin duties such as, recruiting/scouting models online, scheduling, payroll, budget tracking/expenses, POS and uniform inventory and booking last minute promo requests for distributors.
My manager thoroughly – more... prepared me for this role and worked hands on with me for the first 2 months. She personally introduced me to all my market contacts before letting me take the lead.
My colleagues had similar roles but were focused on just SA and also had sales goals. We had a small team so we met regularly for lunch or coffee to work on model trainings and presentations as needed. We did get to travel frequently to other cities and states to learn the new experiential programs and see them in action before coming back to train our model teams.
TEAM focused on brand education and I truly believe that's what set this agency apart from others. Models weren't just expected to be attractive, outgoing and social but smart enough to learn and remember brand attributes and relay that information to key beer drinkers at promo events.
The hardest part of my job was ensuring enough staff in each market during peak season such as Spring Break, Halloween and Thanksgiving Eve. Smaller markets kept smaller teams so when activity was projected to be heavier than usual I had to adjust team quota to meet client and distributor expectations.
My favorite part of the job was being able to make my own schedule and work independently with little supervision. Building and customizing model uniforms for special events was fun, too. But traveling with my team to other markets that I would've probably never even considered visiting are the experiences I value most. – less

I was assigned to be a team leader for a given task. I have no idea how to do it nor explain to my teammates that I was assigned to be a team leader for that particular task. I humbly explained to them that in any other case, I need their cooperation and that we need to finish it on time. Fortunately, we finished on time.

I learned the value of humility – more... of being a leader. The hardest part of the job was I need to be imaginative on how to finish on time and how to do it by asking ideas from my team mates and arrive in a final plan for us to achieve the task. – less

You get to be the face of top brands and promote at local venues, festivals and events. I loved all the wonderful people I worked with and made a ton of awesome networking connections!

I'm not sure if the managers grew up in brothels or have social problems, but the castings they hold are extremely abrasive, in humane, and down right rude. They treat people like dogs. And when you look like a dog, you shouldn't judge other people on their appearance. I make a portion of my living from real modeling. I went in to work promotions, not – more... for people who think their staff should wear raunchy outfits to promote liquor and have double D's. At my interview everyone was texting, there was no real human contact, and I overheard a manager applauding a girl for dropping off a picture of herself in a bikini. Fire and rehire the managers. This is coming from a promotional lead at a competing company who has been in the business for over 3 years. Good luck finding girls to stay with you when you have people like that running the show.

Oh not to mention, I did work one promotion with TEAM and the distributor who was "in charge" had no clue what he was doing. He also complained about the promotion to someone from MY company months later (not knowing I worked for them)- and it got back to me about how idiotic he was about the whole ordeal. – less

I worked for TEAM while going to College. I was able to pick my hours and work with a team that shared the same qualities.

To work for TEAM you had to be outgoing and very personable. At TEAM we did several types of promotions and events for well-known clients. We had to be knowlegable about each product and be able to answer any questions about each – more... product if asked. For each product, it was mandantory to attend each training. For each event I was required to provide mpersonay supervisors with a detailed recap about each event.

I learned alot while working with TEAM. I learned how to work well with my peers and has helped me with my communication skills with others.

The hardest part would have been encounters with people that did not want to be bothered or talked to. It didnt happen often, but this was the only obstacle that I faced. – less

Great Company. You get to work from home and out in the field.
Travel up to 50% of the time
Enjoyable job. I love my client and everything we are involved with.
I get to put on fantastic events and sit in on business meetings, developing new programs.
Hiring, staffing and training promotional models all across the state.

A typical day at work consists of going to local bars in Boston. There we would purchase samples of a new alcohol we would promote. We would give out complimentary samples while pitching our information about our company and convince consumers to buy a drink at the bar and in return we provide prizes such as T-Shirts, Hats, Sunglasses and Wristbands. – more... I have learned how to create a clientel while promoting people to purchase our product. Management is highly knowledgable in the inventory. Co-Workers work well together with integrity and excitment. The hardest part of the job is having people buy the drinks and the most enjoyable part is providing complimentary alcohol and congradulating them with a free T-Shirt. – less

- Worked directly with the area’s Team Brand Specialist to plan promotions, secure positive placement of brand in key purchase influence zones, and obtain information for event recaps.
- Learned how to increased on-premise sales velocity by driving purchase and repeat purchase of products.
- Maintained high level of positive brand representation through – more... effective promotional events.
- Co-workers were very friendly and willing to provide assistance.
- The most enjoyable part of the job was the communication and the satisfaction we brought to the public. – less

It was a great balance of professionalism with a side of fun times. I learned how to manage and lead a team of promoters in order to execute and increase product visibility in my accounts. I became more experienced in the field of sales, calling on my accounts and keeping their trust. The most challenging part of the job was actually the most rewarding – more... part of the job. That was being able to push yourself to see what you can actually do; go outside your comfort zone. I surprised myself and learned that I can manage all types of people and I can do marketing while also being in sales. – less

Flexible hours which made it perfect during school and supervised clinical practice. Further developed my interpersonal skills.

Lots to do, very fun work environment that is very hands on. I would recommend everyone intern there first while in college.

I find working here fun and exciting, I meet new people every time I work. I really like getting to know our customers!

Ample training and information on jobs, flexible days and hours (part time), worked with knowledgable managers constantly available for communication, worked directly with personable, motivated women on-premise.

TEAM has an exclusive contract with Bacardi, which really broadens the portfolio I work in. Product knowledge is key to success here, as well as reaching consumers.

Have to be very outgoing in order to excel in this. Great manager that was laid back but still professional. Pay is excellent. You pick your own hours and days.
