Whether you are in the interview process, thinking of applying, or have accepted a job at 3MP Atlanta, please read this and consider what it says (also google devil corp to read what helped me realize this):
The interview process was pretty standard. It lasted 2-3 hours, and in that time I met a few account managers, an HR rep, and a manager. There was a really brief meeting, then we were split off into groups of two (there were 10 of us there) and each of us went to Top Golf with an account manager. They proceeded to ask us a few strange but simple, generic interview questions (What superpower would you have, where do you see yourself in 5 years, where do you rank money, experience, and customer service, etc.).
The thing is that with their constant business professional dress, laid back/friendly demeanor, and overload of information, they completely gloss over the fact that when it comes down to it you will be a door to door salesman for AT&T data plans and upgrades. Now, if this is what you want in a career, by all means they are probably a good company for it. If you are looking for a fast track to management, a way to make a lot of money, etc., like they advertise, you are more than likely out of luck. They have rounds of interviews like this in big groups because they have such a high turnover rate. Almost everyone gets a job because the more people they hire, the more people they have to peddle their AT&T plans. There are 3 promotions between you and the manager's position. You almost immediately (1-2 weeks) get your first promotion, but all it means is that you're not training anymore, and there is no pay increase or promise of salary/security until the next level. They lay out a timeline of 12-18months between you and management, where they say you will make $200,000-300,000 and only have to work 4-5 hours a day. Even if that is true, ask yourself who is going to be the salesman if every entry level person gets promoted to a management position, and ask yourself if you really think they will promote their best salesmen into a position where they will be in an office and interviewing people (no longer making sales) full time. I’m sure 1 out of every 300 people they hire in batches will be manager some day, but with all the work put in on these long hours, and all the hustling to meet sales quotas to make sure you are actually making money could be better spent at a company that doesn’t profit off of exploiting entry level or lower-skilled people and anticipating a high turnover rate as part of their business model. Yeah, there’s a chance you’ll make money off of commission, but there’s a very real chance that you won’t. I guess you could take solace in the fact that you won’t have time to spend the money between work, team bonding, and work.
Honestly, I don’t even think the people that interviewed me are evil people only out to make a profit off of you. I just think that the company itself and the business model on which it runs purposefully fills people with false hope and leads to nothing but frustration. The people that interviewed me were all great and truly seemed to believe in the company. So, maybe I’m wrong? I just think they are all drinking the Kool Aid they’re trying to sell. If anything I’d like to send them this article as well just so they are at least aware. Don’t take my word for it; research and if it seems great to you then go for it, but I wouldn’t recommend it to any friends or family.
