I have a job offer for a company called Winmark. The company is contracted by Comcast to go door-to-door and try and get satellite/dsl customers to switch. I have no problem with door-to-door sales (I've done it before) but would like to know if any of you know more about this company and if they are reputable. From doing some Googling it looks like they've had some problems out in Portland but I can't find anything negative about their operations here in the Midwest.
 
I actually work for the Winmark in Seattle, which is the main office for the company. For the most part, the company is reputable and will pay you for your work. However, you will probably see one or two sales missing from your paycheck pretty consistently, and the company is slow and reluctant to look into and remedy the problem. You really have to be a stickler with Winmark, and the better salesman you are, the more they care about trying to make you happy.

My personal advice would be to go for it since Winmark does pay far more than any other contracting company, plus you are selling Comcast, so it really isn't that hard to get sales if you know the product info and stuff. And if you have door-to-door experience, then selling Comcast should be a walk in the park for you. Just make it clear to them from the get-go that you have heard that they don't pay their contractors 100% right and that if they try to screw you over you're done with them. This will be a lot more effective if you are actually good at what you do.
 
DSM's are total scum. I spend way too much of my day helping customers that got lied to/misled by a direct sales Guy.
 
I personally love Winmark. I have worked there for almost a year. People are great and so it the pay. I never made less than 700 a week..They stay positive with you and if you need help they always help you out.

they actually get paid pretty well. One of my buddies is a DSM for the door to door guys.

My problem with them is that they lie to customers to get a sale. And not a little lie, big fat ugly lies that cost the customer money and make the company look bad. I have literally spent hours trying to fix their messes. My buddy laughs it off with a "boys will be boys" kind of attitude.
 
Lol at the Winmark shills creating accounts on here. As others have said, that should show you what type of company they are.
