Scam

Guys I just got a call for an interview at Global Events Management in the sports division. So I Googled them and the CEO, and it linked me to this forum. Can someone shine some light on this for me, whats the connection?

Scam

I had the same experience in Scandinavia. The business set up is unethical and most employees dislike working there and there due to desperate circumstances (such as new migrants to the country who don't speak the local language). It is quite difficult to loOK for alternative employment whilst working with Marcus Evans because of the expectation is to put in extra hours lead searching, the official amount is 3hrs per week after work but most people put in much more working extremely long hours for little return. Sales Executive in Thg is OK as a fist job in a new country to help set your self up with a small amount of money, boost your CV and get any paper work you need in your new country (such as a person number and bank account etc.) But beyond that this is not a real job or a reflection of professional life in the Sales or Business Development industry. The training was good was the only positive. The management style, working conditions and approach to business is a jOKe. Intimidation tactics and aggressive behaviour is the name of the game, you have to be a cunning and emotionless to survive in this company.
My advice is to avoid working for Marc Evans in any capacity unless you are absolutely desperate and have a clear view what you want out of the company short term. If you do take the position; think clearly about what you want to get out of the company and if you can achieve what you want in less than 2 weeks, do not get emotionally attached if you get fired for little to no reason, watch your call rates managers know who you call and for how long - there are no short cuts around the cold hard selling Big Brother is watching your every move in this position and try not to take any thing in the job too seriously.
Good luck and hope this was helpful!

Hospitality in Olympics Rio 2016

THG is a huge scam company.
They did not deliver what they've promised in their contract!

We bought tickets for the opening ceremony. The tickets were for the best seats in the stadium and for a premium hospitality. None of that was delivered.

We arrived at the hospitality center. Very modest place and the service horrible. Just one option of food and drink.

Like in the 2014 World Cup, they were involved in another scam. Meanwhile we were eating the poorly served dish, police officers came in and detained the THG employees. Some of the customers volunteered to go along with the police station in order to clarify their position and register a complaint.

Final result? We missed almost all the opening ceremony. After all this, we managed to get some tickets from the Brazilian Olympic committee and ran to the stadium to watch the end of the opening ceremony.

Needless to say that not just the service they provide is crap, but also that they don't even deliver the tickets they promise.

In sum:
- service is terrible (and this is true to all their events. All the events I've been they serve mediocre food in a mediocre venue they rent in the last minute)
- food, drinks are below average
- they sell you a 100-dollar ticket for 8,000 dollars like they did for the opening ceremony in Rio
- their contract is designed to fool you
- tickets they sell are illegal and they are being sued again in Brazil for illegal sale of tickets (scalper activity and even the tickets themselves they probably buy from scalpers as well)

Not just their CEO was put in jail, but many of their employees.
If you are thinking of ever bugging their tickets, please don't! You will get pissed and frustrated, if not left empty-handed.
