Gateway Specialized Marketing, Inc - St. Louis, Missouri

The job was kind of a nightmare. Surprised they're somehow still around, as they were impossible to reach when i requested my ATTuid transfer and all emails, phonecalls, and text messages went radio silent when I took a REAL AT&T job, which then cut into my ability to make commission at the new job as my id was linked to my ssn. Overall, for anyone seeking employement with them, understand there are no mileage reimbursements from HQ to stores (if there were, it was never told to new hires and I'm definitely owed that compensation, especially for having to drive to Glen Carbon and Ofallon, IL), commission for sales is nearly impossible to break base pay, and you will be encouraged to "volunteer" extra hours on a day off to make sales off the clock and yes, that means you will be soliciting off the clock in Sams Club which is against compliancy (something they heavily preach about) and robs you of your free time, work-life balance, and wage that you legally should be paid for. If you do not meet the sales quotas, expect to work 6 day weeks, only seeing 40hrs even if you worked upwards of 60hrs and only a handful of sales, and be told you aren't working hard enough. Team building nights are their equivalent of the corporate pizza party and the turn over rate and employee retention are abismal. Chad was nice, Traig seemed cool until after I had left the company and sought to make advances on me since I was no longer with the company (a few weeks after I had left) it wouldn't be something HR would deal with. The loud and brazen Wolf of Wallstreet mentalities paired with the frat boy unproffessionalism was needless to say ironic. Overall, steer clear of these 3rd party marketers specifically within the sam's club and costco scene. This is just a jist of the malpractices this company lures in new hires in with unreachable goals that they will then blame you for not putting in the work to attain.

AN ABOVE AVERAGE OPPORTUNITY FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE!

I’ve been working with Gateway since the beginning of October and I’ve truly never loved a job/company more!!! I went into the interview looking for a job that would get me by for the time being. Bills needed to be paid and mouths needed to be fed. I was in no way searching for my future career. Little did I know, I had stumbled into an opportunity that would take me to the place I’d always hoped for.

The business is merit and point based. Every SINGLE manager/owner in the business has been through the same management training program as anyone else. It’s a very move at your own pace business.

Gateway has been so good to me and I don’t see myself working for another company (besides my own - soon!) for the rest of my life. Like I said, this business is an above average opportunity for average people. If you have a strong work ethic and are willing to invest your time and energy for a short amount of time the opportunity is yours to take.

I am so proud to be a Leader at Gateway Specialized Marketing. I value the people that I get to work and build with each and everyday, we all share one if not many common cores; to be successful, in and outside of work. The opportunity that the firm has to offer is truly amazing and when coupled with one’s desire to succeed, is outstanding. Never in my life have I had the opportunity to reap as many rewards as I a wanted to take in such short time.

Gateway Specialized Marketing (GSM) Inc. is not just a job, it is a family that wants you to succeed. As an intern, I have had the chance to shoulder some really impactful responsibilities to help me grow. Apart from the money and job aspect, the level of equality and open door policy at the company are extra bonuses that attracted me. I also love the fact that every employee's voice is respected.

A great company is made of a great culture and a great people. GSM is a great company.

Was suppose to have an interview today with a hiring manager. Logged in and ready to go on Zoom. I waited for almost an hour to do my interview. All it was saying was that the host will let me in soon. After the long waiting, I was kicked out and it said the session has expired. For a company to say they are hiring and to go through the trouble to set up an interview and then not follow through? Not very professional in any way. To get ones hopes up who is trying very hard to land a job so they can support their family, not professional at all. Next time just reach out and let them know that you are not interested or the position has been filled.

Be very careful if you are buying a product represented by GSM. We were told a number of things that were not true. Their representatives were at Sam’s Club and represented themselves as AT&T employees. They were dishonest in this representation. Price offered was NOT what they entered into the system with AT&T. When shown the price I would pay I asked to cancel the order and was told that I could not. They simply refused and said it was too late even though I had not left the counter. Afterward AT&T said that was not the truth. They could and should have cancelled. I should have known better. Buyer beware is applicable here. Make sure you know ALL terms and conditions before giving your credit card. I am cancelling my order through GSM and will deal directly with AT&T.

GSM is one of the best places to work. The culture is what drives us. Our team connects and works to build each other up. I would recommend this place to anyone who is hungry to work and ready for success.
