Chicago Marketing, Inc Reviews

SCAM! Take a minute to look and see how many people leave 5 star reviews that o lyrics have 1 review on their name. My profile us fake because I'm exposing these guys and they'll do whatever it takes to keep their crooked business going. I was here for 6 months and what a joke. People quit almost everyday and they just keep hiring and hiring. They tell you to do one thing but they do another. They'll have you in a retail store 6-7 days a week driving all over Chicagoland with a chaotic schedule soliciting hundreds of people in Sam's and menards. Its embarrassing. These people are looking at you like you're homeless begging for money. They say its marketing and not sales which is such bs. It's the definition of sales and it doesn't pay well. Plan on having g no life, being lied to, and exhausted making garbage money. I dont care what anyone says this is all 100% FACT

Amazing interview- great vision for the future. Not my cup of tea but defiantly would recommend... The CEO is hot by the way so if you need some eye candy book an interview you wont be disappointed.

company that sends people out to Sam's and Costco to try and grab you to sell you something like vacation packages

Tried to sell me the job. Want to hire as many sales people in hopes of getting them quickly promoted.

Chicago Marketing Group is filled with talented, career minded individuals who are united and focused on a singular goal which is to better their company and continue the growth and expansion within. I appreciate the assistance that I received not only on a management level but with administration as well. This company and management team is willing to go above and beyond to help their employees succeed.

Amazing experience! I recently went through the internship program at Chicago Marketing and needless to say it was an eye opening experience. For the short time I was there, I was treated like any other employee and held to the same standards. There was always a positive and high energy atmosphere at the workplace and everyone was very close with one another. Even being an intern, I wasn't just another face at the office. Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting made me feel welcomed.The management team was very supportive and very transparent.

If you're looking for a boring 9-5 this place isn't it. This is a very energized driven company- music playing and everyone working in a team. I love it!

love this place!! Great people, awesome environment, fast pace tons of growth possibilities

I had a chance to meet all of the leaders from each branch, it is amazing to see the consistency of the company culture from office to office!

I applied online to Chicago Marketing only four months ago and I'm almost in a management position! I come from being a manager and wasn't too excited about starting in a training position but just like the recruiter and hiring manager told me-"If you work hard and follow our system, you will be back in management ASAP." I really appreciate how transparent this company has been with me since day one and I am excited to see how many clients and campaigns they keep getting. There s always something new to sink your teeth into! I also really appreciate how nice and personable the CEO is. The team environment is great! I love how goal oriented the culture is! This company is for anyone who wants the opportunity to learn and grow! Anytime someone doesn't have something nice to say about Chicago Marketing, it's because they were lazy, not a team player, or just didn't value the opportunity here.

More than expected!

This company gave me so much. It s hard to put it all down but my understanding of business from macro to micro is way more developed than when I started. The leadership here is so well intended that I never am concerned with the advice I am getting. I am getting the chance to move into my own startup now and a lot of that is attributed to what I have gained here.

Cons:
Not an environment that will allow apathetic individuals to remain complacent. It s a competitive field and the clients are demanding of your time. Have to bring it daily. Not for the faint of heart.

Advice to Management:
Keep being relatable and accessible. I love the one on one times. Please show everyone what you have shown me. You all will be big soon!

Chicago Marketing is one of the best in the nation when it comes down to results. The clients are always happy. Having Chicago Marketing as my platform has already opened several doors for me because of their track record - it puts me in a high position for credibility and professionalism. I owe a lot to the team and management of CMI, it was a great run and I am excited to see what the future holds for everyone that is a part of the team :)

Probably one of the most welcoming group of people I have ever met. From day one, it was like we were old friends. They set the pace, the pitch and the attitude for success here. So excited to be a part of the group

Recently completed a project with Jacob. Process was smooth. Will continue working for future projects.

Ask these jokers when the last time they gave someone PTO is. The answer is never. I dont care what they say. No benefits. No work life balance. If you desperately need a job and have no degree or experience...maybe.

Revolving door company. You will work 10 plus hours a day, sometimes for no money. Do not apply. Door to door commission job.

I had the pleasure of working with the group at CMI recently. By far one of the most professional and effective marketing firms I've experienced. Not only was the staff beyond professional, but they were extremely kind and innovative with their strategies/approach. An extremely hard working group of people, with a productive and supportive environment. Unlike some firms I've worked with in the past, CMI has a healthy and collaborative, family-atmosphere, which undoubtedly goes to show why they are so successful. The leadership is exceptional and second to none. I was personally inspired by the VP of Talent & Human Resources, who was there for me anytime I had the slightest question or concern. A brilliant and kind individual who led by example every step of the way. Overall, anyone who is looking for a great marketing firm, I recommend CMI any day. Absolutely unparalleled.

This is honestly the best company that I have ever worked for. Hard work definitely doesn t go unnoticed, management is always willing to help no matter what. The energy here is unmatched, it s team oriented and I am so thankful for the opportunity to work for such a great company, thanks CMI!

Great culture- reminds me of playing sports back in college. Very hands on management, training, and personal development.

Best decision I ever made was working for this company. I ve grown so much and have learned so many new marketing strategies because of all the amazing trainers that I had working with me!

I've been working at Chicago Marketing Inc for about 4 months now, and it has been amazing. I've never experienced a team and managers that care so much about each individuals' life and success. If you're looking for a supportive environment to grow professionally and financially, CMI is definitely it.

Chicago Marketing is the only marketing company I have worked with that I trust. I have worked with other companies and have lost money, waisted time and gone backwards in my career. Through the efforts of the Chicago Marketing team and management I was able to regain my footing in the industry and come back out on top. The team is on top of everything and has a forward thinking mind set and approach that are results driven. RESULTS DRIVEN.

Great company with great people!!! Endless opportunities with unlimited growth potential... try it for yourself and apply!!!

Keep pushing to do more work and get promoted, when there are no benefits to the promotion

We love working with Chicago Marketing! Such a fun team and great people to network with. We have had the opportunity to be mentored by several members of the Management staff here at Team CMI.

I have worked hand in hand with Chicago Marketing for a few years now and have nothing but a positive experience. The management team has each employees' best interest in mind with every decision. They work with the concept that growth within the company creates growth for the company. I look forward in a continuing relationship with Chicago Marketing!

This is a great company with a lot of opportunity for people from all backgrounds. I have been here for nearly 5 years and have worked with some of the greatest people I have ever met. It is a big family in a corporate setting. I highly recommend the team!

Great fast growing company. The people here are a second family to me!

I remember vaugely applying for a role with this company in 2018, and they reappeared in my LinkedIn recently.

This place is basically in stores selling. If that is your thing, go for it, other wise, look elsewhere.

I really like the place - I have a mentor that has been working with me day in and day out and is always there to push me to do my best in every practice. I am new to the industry so it is a bit daunting coming in as a blank slate but it has been a great learning experience.

Personally, I've found a long list of pros for working for Chicago Marketing. Some of the main reasons are the leaders and atmosphere. The management team is extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to help with any struggles, questions and concerns. They take pride in training and developing their team!
Additionally, the opportunity for growth is a huge motivation for me, personally. Out of all the employers who have said 'the sky is the limit with our company,' I have never found it to be more true than with Chicago Marketing.

Great environment and learning experience. Management has always been there to help. A go to company where you are rewarded for your effort.

Great company culture! I feel like my career goals and needs are met with this company everyday and they are always go above and beyond for their employees. I have seen so much success with them since I have started with the company and I am excited to see what the next few months have in store for me.

By far one of the best experiences I've ever had at a company. I read through some reviews stating it's not what "they say". I went through 3 different interviews and at each point, was explained how training, the business model and salary structure works. I'll be honest, I came from being a VP in health club sales at prior companies and not once, have I ever left a review not because they weren't great companies I worked for but because I've never had the experience of personal relationships actually happening. I get to work with people who aren't just my co workers but friends. My opinion is some people don't always like the cooking in the kitchen and even 5 star restaurants have 1 star reviews. Everyone's experience is different and mine has been amazing so far!

Chicago Marketing is an exciting place to be. High energy, positive work environment and great people

The leadership at Chicago Marketing is very supportive and focused on employee success. They have been very attentive to my career path and goals that I have set for myself.

The team pushes you out of your comfort zone. I made the transition into sales and leadership from an administrative background. It was a hard move to make, but I am so glad that I did. I have learned so much in time with the CMI team. The only negative I have found so far that is consistent with other opinions in the team and in reviews on line is that nn occasion you are working under pressure. The deadlines move up - the sense of urgency is felt everywhere. It does make you achieve things you may have not normally achieved because you are pushing yourself, so it isn't a bad thing, but it can be difficult.

In all honesty my Career at Chicago Marketing Inc was unbelievable. A one of a kind learning experience that I am forever grateful for. The staff here who trained me from the ground up were great mentors and wonderful friends and opened so many doors for me. I appreciate everything you all taught me and am forever grateful for the opportunity I had to work with everyone!

Great company environment with a good opportunity to gain experience and advance quickly!

This company makes fake Google profiles and reviews their own company almost 3 times a day. Watch out if you put bad reviews on their page. They'll do whatever it takes to look legit.

Unbelievable Team! Love the people I get to work with at CMI. It's been great growing as a person and as a business professional with this team! 2019 will be our best year yet!

Great team to be a part of. I work on the Marketing team and work hand in hand with the sales team for big projects and just love the environment. The synergy and camaraderie is unlike anywhere I have worked before.

We just took another award home for best and brightest places to work in Chicago. Keep it up team!

The payroll system is messsed up. Its hard to get a straight answer out of them even as an employee. If you work hard you get paid well but you have to be a special kind of person. One of the managers is understanding but they aren't very forthcoming about how the pay works.

Chicago Marketing has a great company culture! My career goals plus more are met with this company. Since I have started with this company I have seen much success. I am truly excited to see myself grow here.

Cool People, the VP I met there was hot hot hot!!! I went in to sell some art and have to say this is a classy place with good looking people! They bought, but I am a great salesman! So holla at me for some sick deals on art.

I just met the team at Chicago Marketing this past week and loved the whole thing. The office is upbeat, clean and high tech. Everyone I met was exciting and engaging. I can't wait to see where it goes from here

I really love this team. From the first person you meet to the CEO they take their time to include all new employees as if they were family. The management and HR team is hands down one of the nicest group of professionals I have met.

Fresh Food even when we order it a half before they were going to close. good eats

I enjoy the staff I work with here at Chicago Marketing! Can't wait to see what 2019 brings.

I love the family-friendly atmosphere here! This is not a company where you are just another face.. I personally know every employee by first and last name and genuinely enjoy seeing them everyday. I was hired right out of college and I can confidentially say they are steering me in the direction of success. I have gained more knowledge these past few months working here and networked with some outstanding people! This is a company you can grow with and make a career out of.

SMART CIRCLE AFFILIATE. CAUTION Look up "Devil Corp." for more information.

I spent the summer at CMI for my marketing internship. It was 4 of the best months of my life. It wasn't easy as my parents often assumed it was, it was just a welcome environment on a daily basis - I was excited to go every day. It had challenges, it pushed me out of my comfort zone - my trainer had me learning sales, which is not something I was secure about, but in the end understood the importance of in the marketing and business world. I walked away with a letter of recommendation and a lot of friends. Cheers to the team! I can't wait to visit on holiday :)

CMI has a very professional work environment with hands on coaching and personal development. Hard work does not go unnoticed here!!

Superb team and potential for employees looking for hands on training. My son works with the team under the Entrepreneur Springboard training system. I have seen him grow both in his personal and professional life since he started. He is going on his fourth month in the program and has already been flown to three different states, saved a few thousand dollars and got himself out of debt. I am so proud and want to thank the Owner and the team for being such great role models in the community.

They're very committed to delivering quality work and great customer service. I love being a part of a team that has such good results for the client. Reputation is a big deal

I just wrapped up my internship this past week and wanted to give a shout to my team and trainer. I didn't realize how much fun it would be at the same time as being a learning experience. I love the energy, the vibe, the team in gneral.

I was extremely excited to work here. The interviews made this job seem like heaven great perks great money. They mislead you completely in the interviews. They don t tell you, you ll be working 6 days week, every weekend long hours, and far drives. They also don t tell you, all you do is go stand in a Sams club or Costco trying to sell people things like DirectTv. In the interviews they tell you about how they compensate for gas and phone data. It s actually only $100 extra onto your pay check but you have to drive all over, and they expect you to use a hot spot from your phone to connect a work tablet to sign people up for things. They don t give your schedule for the upcoming week till Sunday night and it s only till Wednesday. The schedules are also very tentative and can change at any moment. When I quit I had two paychecks I still needed to get and they tried telling me they didn t have a lot of my hours or my checks. It took almost
Two weeks to get paid and a lot of calling and emailing for something to finally get done. This company is a total scam.

These guys are amazing to work with, I learned so much in my time here.

Thank you!

When I first started I was very nervous because Marketing was a new career path for me. The managers and trainers were so helpful and patient with me and really helped me grow as a person and professional. Super thankful for the fun and supportive culture!

I absolutely love this team. I started here about three weeks ago - I am now on my second phase of my internship and I am loving it. I spent the last few weeks in the sales division learning about the ground floor and what it takes to create the bridge between consumers and the clients, this next step I will be taking on leadership and relationship building with vendors - I have to say that I was really nervous when I started this position because I had no clue what to expect. I hope the next few months continue to be as beneficial to me because after school, I would love to come back to a full time position if offered to me :) Thanks Team, for being so awesome! I can't wait for our team outing this week!

I love the vibe here - it is a great team with a lot of success around every corner. Everyone in management has been extremely successful in their careers and in life in general and they actually love to help the other people on the team do the same and prep for their own success. It is an awesome place. Can't say enough good about it!

What a fun team to be a part of. I was able to partner with the CMI team during our community outreach programs this past month. The synergy between the team is admirable. I have referred several individuals and companies to work with the team to learn from and enjoy the camaraderie and professionalism.

Love this place! The Management team is on point - the training is the best training I've experienced in the work place, bar none.

Generally, I m very impressed with the staff on hand. I had an interview with Chicago Marketing last week for the market director position and met 3 of the managers and the CEO, all very sharp individuals. I find it amazing that the CEO works alongside with his employees and mentors them. An open door policy is something that I look for in a company. The amount of effort that this company puts into developing their people is very rare to find anywhere else! It would be great if given the opportunity to join the team, I hope to hear back from them soon!

Great company with massive opportunity for growth. Top notch mentorship and training. Amazing culture, surrounded by motivated individuals who are always willing to help and advance.

Had an interview there once when I was desperare and dear God!!! What a scam...totally a pyramid scheme. Only take this if you're cool with absolutely crushing the dreams of your peers.

Never been there. The employees seen very up beat when I talk to them. Friendly. Up scale and super professional!

What a place - I wrapped up my interviews with the team last week and was offered a position starting on July 1st. The team is so welcoming; I have already been invited to a team night before my starting date and look forward to building a future with Chicago Marketing :)

I hired a team from CMI a few months back to help with a new product launch. Great company. Great people. Great results.
The pricing is fair for the outcome. I highly recommend the team for your local marketing and sales needs.

Great things happening at Chicago Marketing. As a sales professional with over a decade of experience, I highly recommend using Chicago Marketing for your professional needs. Whether sales, customer service, CRM, branding or analytics, the team never fails to bring the best results. I partnered with the team for 6 months during a product launch with my company; they trained our sales team, got us into the market place, and the rest is history.

Literally brainwashed employees. They preach the same thing over and over and do the opposite. Horrible communication. Sell DirecTV, and cell phones inside Sam's club and menards. They have you bother 200 people a day in these stores to try to get 1 person to feel bad for you and sign up. These people are lying, cheating, and conniving. All there reviews are from fake hr accounts from therenrecruiters or brainwashed employees. They hire 5-10 people every week because they lose 5-10 people a week.

The company is very professional. Very high energy and the people are focus on setting you up for success. Believe in the process and you will succeed. Great company and people.

I have been working here for almost a month now and absolutely love this team! Everyone is passionate about what they do and eager to train and develop. Being surrounded by a team of people that are looking to grow and advance their careers is rare to find.
Not only is there great team morale and workforce culture, but its a great business that is only growing everyday. If you're looking for a work environment that is young and fun, but also incredibly rewarding- you will love working with Chicago Marketing. All of your hard work and dedication will pay off here and won't go unnoticed!

I can't express it enough how great of a company this is. The amount of growth that I have seen personally from working in the front office is AMAZING. Not only are all the employees down to earth, but they are always upbeat and hardworking. If you are looking for a company where you are recognized for the work you put in, with great benefits, and a fun work environment, Chicago Marketing is the place for you !!

I am a small business owner in Chicago. I specialize in creating a better home life balance for busy families. With the help of the Chicago Marketing team, I was able to take home invaluable information and techniques to take my business to the next level. Jacob and the team are awesome people to work with.

If you like an upbeat, fast pace environment this is a wonderful place to work. If you are someone that likes promotions handed to you based off of seniority this might not be the best fit. They believe the best person for the job should get the promotion. I'm someone that values my personal accomplishments and I respect a company that does the same. The basic job was very easy to pick up. When the basic job is easy to pick up it makes for a process that is easy to duplicate.

I have been on the Marketing team with Chicago Marketing for about 9 months now. This was the first real position that I had outside of college and I was hesitant and nervous when I first started my employment because the way the business is structured is so different from what I am used to seeing. The leadership and mentor-ship is outstanding to start off. The way they push people to take on more and move up in the ranks is motivating because it shows that hard work pays off. I was just promoted to assistant manager last month (8 months in!) and am so excited to continue my growth here. I am looking to move to Florida in the next few months and with it will be taking on another promotion as I move into a higher management position. Thank you Chicago marketing for being such a huge part of my growth!

Great place - I'm a Sales Pro and love the opp here - good structure - good people

Job seekers beware! The company likes to do a bait and switch with all extravagant job titles; when in reality you are a retail sales associate making $10/hr plus commission.
The "Director of Talent and Human Resources", Sophia, is not qualified for her position. She also thinks that she is famous on her social media accounts. She loves to talk about all of her designer clothes, bags, shoes, etc. and how expensive everything she owns is. Anybody who knows her knows what I am talking about. Just do your research.

The company, over all, is unique and innovative. I am proud to be a part of the team. My book of business has grown tremendously while here, as well as the connections I have made just within the organization alone.

Fantastic company to be partnered with! Love the ease of which they come through with details, expectations and follow up.

This is honestly the best company that I have ever worked for. Hard work definitely doesn t go unnoticed, management is always willing to help no matter what. The energy here is unmatched, it s team oriented and I am so thankful for the opportunity to work for such a great company, thanks CMI!

Great place! I have worked with CMI for over three years and when I log onto these sites to see people writing fake reviews because they are either our competition or a disgruntled employee that we had to part way with it makes me wonder why their perspective of the company is diluted. We have some of the largest Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies in the world that stand behind our work and business practice - we have a team that would go to bat for one another and a success rate higher than any other in the Mid West. If someone has nothing better to do than slander a company that your work wasn't good enough to succeed in - then by all means, do what you must - but it will not alter the excellent reputation that this A+ company has. Best of luck to ya!!
