Jacc Marketing - Blue Ice UK LTD info

[bertie28]

Does anyone know anything about JACC Marketing ltd eg. who are they? are they a good company to work for? Are they full of it? Had interview and got assessment centre but cant find any info on them anywhere. Their chat about money and stuff just seems bit too good to be true?!!

[Skweeky1]

JACC Marketing in Glasgow?

Are they telling you that you're going to be a millionaire and that you'll own your own office?



In that case...
Run as far away from them as you can.
I used to work for them, in fact I helped starting up that company and was the first Scottish trainer promoted ( ok, I'm Belgian, but you catch my drift)
It's commission only, the stuff they sell is substandard to say the least and the manager is a complete and utter wanker.



PS: I have to mention though. They have a sister company called IPG Imports LTD. It's run by a guy called George Kennedy. My boyfriend trained him and he's a really decent guy. They give excellent training and I've seen a few people making it there. If you don't mind doing a commission only job then I think it's worth a try.

They moan at you when you're off ill and the only good manager they had is running an office in Amsterdam now.

If you want to get into sales I'll give you a job. We do the same thing as them. Only... you're not expected to work 14 hours a day.



Sorry... rant over.
I just really can't stand the owner of that company. We worked together closely for a few months and he's an annoying little fuck

[NikkiD]

Don't sugar coat it Skweeks, tell him how you really feel. :P

[bertie28]

Cheers for the heads up skweeky, got the impression it was a lot of shite. Got some other gigs lined up but cheers for the job offer. Thanks again

[Skweeky1]

Don't sugar coat it Skweeks, tell him how you really feel. :P


They'll ban me if I do that:dry:

I am curious though Bertie... what division is it this time? Direct, flyers or events?

[Wayne10]

THIS COMPANY ARE FULL OF CRAP! They advertise as a GRADUATE training programme, promising exceptional training and a wealh of riches. The reality however is so much different.

If you have just completed university and have your heart set on a career selling bric-a-brac to mindless strangers in social clubs, bookies, and lock-up garages for twelve hours per day (under the guise of B2B marketing!) then this is the position for you! If DelBoy Trotter is you idol, then give them a call!

I know this as I 'negotiated' the first two rounds of the interview process.

I have no real problem with the manager - despite being completly misled - but would hate for some other genuine graduate to waste a full day 'in-the-field' as part of their second round interview.

I reiterate, THEYARE FULL OF CRAP!

If you have any remaining doubt ask yourself why such an international and reputable company does not have a website... WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE? I think that says enough.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

[Skweeky1]

True...

although, I have to say...
It does teach you to work hard and you do learn some sale skills...
Well that was with the previous manager anyway.


I think it's not a bad holiday job if you want to get into business. Can't get ot the top if you don't start at the bottom

[DanB]

you've changed your tune Skweeks

[Wayne10]

I'm all for hard work, Skweeky, that's why I worked like a trooper at univeristy. Just don't advertise as a 'Graduate Training Programme' when it CLEARLY is not.

If they were up-front about what the job is all about from the outset then debt-ridden graduates like myself would not have wasted time and money attending the interview.

[Skweeky1]

Naw, Dan, it's not a good company to work for and it's not something you want to do as a career. And they shouldn't advertise as a graduate training programme, because that's the last thing it is.

However, it IS a good experience and it IS a great holiday job and you USED to learn stuff with the old manager.

The guys running it now are both nitwits though.


PS: As I said in my earlier post. George is alright, it's the other guy who's an idiot. He used to run a different division but now they're sharing the clearance division in Glasgow I believe. The company used to be called IPG, but they've changed it to JACC ( bad reputation I think)

Does anyone know anything about Jacc Marketing in Glasgow ie 84 miller street.
I have recently been asked back for a 2nd interview but after reading what some people have said about the company im haviong 2nd thoughts. They are meant to be a total bump and that all the stuff they tell you is a big lot of rubbish. I saw people had wrote stuff about them on this website so i thought id ask if anyone knows. :stars:

[Bebeto]

I've just been to the 1st interview and 'too good to be true' comes to mind. After 2 minutes they already had me thinking that I'd be earning thousands within weeks and that they are one of the biggest companies in the world. I've got a second interview on Monday but after reading some of the comments above I think I'll tell them to shove it.

Well, think carefully because Skweeky is now fleecing the old and mentally infirm out of their benefit cheques on behalf of multi-national shysters - so I don't think JACC worked out for her :dabs:

[Skweeky]

Naw, we don't do people on benefits. We're elite :lol:

[Agrajag]

Naw, we don't do people on benefits. We're elite :lol:

Elite my arse, I've got one of your cards.

In fact I cut it up because somebody annoyed me, so I don't use it anymore.

But I've put it in credit by £10, so they send me a statement every month and administer the account. Even tho' I haven't used it for like 2 years.

I'm like the guy out of Fight Club, bringing down the big financial institutions. Only without the fighting, or the club.

[Skweeky]

That's because you didn't speak to me :snooty:
I would've retained your account nae bother with my sweet talking lush Irish/Scottish accent :lol:

Not only that, I would've sold you the whole CPP, PPP, IPA, AC lot as well :P

That's what happens if you work there for too long :fear:

BF is starting there at the end of the month as well :lol:

Oh well, I've kinda accepted the fact I'm now one of those annoying sales people you have to talk to but I'd like to think I'm always nice to everyone, even if they're not nice to me :)

I kinda like the fact I don't have anything to worry about when I go home and I get a decent wage out of it too. Plus, I've made some great friends in there which was what I really needed I suppose.

I can honestly say I quite like working there, it's got a good atmosphere and I get to manage my own activites and time, which is what I wanted all along.
I feel rather happy :)

I know what you mean. I work in a call centre, but one of the nicer ones. The product I sell people want (wine) so I don't get too many complaints, unlike working for BT or ITV Digital, both of which I've done. The job is sometimes so monotonous I'd like to scream but the company treats you well, and the people round me are diamonds. Which is why I stay.

I've had better jobs in my supposed-field of interest, but the people I worked with were evil, and I can honestly say I prefer this.

I think jobs like these go in phases, depending on how you feel within yourself at the time. Most of the time I'm happy but if I'm tired or down its much harder to cope with, which is when the brilliance of the people around you comes in. I do find, maybe obviously I dunno, that if you're a happy smiling person at the end of the phone, that you get a better response from even initially evil customers, and if they don't respond well, then they're jsut like that, and at least the happy smiling advisor at the end of the phone will bug the shit out of them. The nastier someone is, the nicer I tend to be.

My degree has been far from useless. As I mentioned, working where I do is currently preferable to working with evil mongtards.

And I'm doing a college couse (which I'm paying for) where it also comes in very useful.

[Skweeky]

I know what you mean CrabGirl.

I got offered a few other jobs which were more in line with what I've studied but I didn't like the environment or the prospect of having to travel an hour every morning and thus having to get up at like 7AM.

I don't make as much as I could in other jobs but as I said, I really like the people and the place as well.
I have a lovely view on the mountains and Croy quarry :lol:

[dannyetcrn]

I just registered to reply to this thread, I know it's old but since this is the first thing that comes up when I google "JACC Marketing" i'm left with no choice.

Basically, I was meant to go for an interview with this company today. After reading this thread, i've decided not to. Just wanted to say thanks for the info (as this is apparently the most info i can get about the company on the internet).

Cheers

Does anyone know anything about JACC Marketing ltd eg. who are they? are they a good company to work for? Are they full of it? Had interview and got assessment centre but cant find any info on them anywhere. Their chat about money and stuff just seems bit too good to be true?!!

I attended first interview for the graduate training programme on Friday 16th March 2007. Upon arrival, I had to complate a one-side application form, that asked for minimal details about me, address, and last job details, and the interview last 5 minutes with a foreigner (non-british citizen), who had been promoted to manager after 8 months with the company. This manager then started to explain how if I am selected, i would be on an intensive 12 month training programme, after which i would be running my own business, as he was. He was very proud to be running the London office (this interview was at Moorgate, central London), and gave me the belief that it can be achieved, he kept saying I run my own business now, which made me wonder exactly how it was his business?.

I was called that evening, and invited back for monday for a full day's training, which i imagined would be office based management training... How wrong i was! I basically spent the whole day, Monday 19th March 2007, following a Polish guy around (another highly motivated employee, again non-british), visiting garages, lock-ups, back-alley factories and warehouses, before hitting the highstreet and going into every single shop, pub, bookies, social club, restarant, estate agency, hairdressers, basically every single place with people, and we also approached people on the streets. This polish guy was dragging a massive bag, comparable to a suitcase with wheels, weighing about 45 kilos, and it was his job to empty this before the end of the day. We were selling rubbish cheap manufacture chinese tetris games, so we even approached any parent on the street who looked like they had kids.

We worked non-stop, going into every shop, from 10am till 5.40pm.

This is how it works. Each unit sold for 3 pounds, and this polish guy got 1 pound from every sale. Its cash in hand at the end of the day, you are not employed by JACC at all, you are self employed, so forget any tax reference, or employment reference from the company! This polish guy said he was there for 4 months now, and he made on average 60 - 80 pounds per day, as long as he visited at least 300 businesses!

So, being a graduate who is absolutely broke, i thought, even though its hard work, walking approx 6-8 miles per day with a suitcase, acting like Delboy himself, at least i will get 50 pounds in my hand at the end of each day, 9am to 6pm, monday to friday, not bad at all while i look for other work.

On the way back to the office, the polish man told me i would have a test waiting for me, and he liked me, so... he gave me all the answers on the trin journy back.

Back at the office, i had a one-page test waiting for me, sure enough, it was easy, because i knew all the answers, and after about 10 minutes of waiting, the main manager called me into office. He was proud to announce that i had passed, and that after 6 weeks, i would be a team leader, training others, and after 6 months, assistant manager, basically training others, and doing some office work, and after 12 months, have my own branch... I WAS HAPPY, i was WILLING to work hard to get the fulltime management position..

THEN THE DREAM WAS SHATTERED.... i was informed that i had to be in the office by 7.30am, and that you have to stay until 7.30pm every day... NO PAY ! Just commision, 1 pound for each unit you sell on the street.

I also learnt that for every unit sold at 3 pound on the street, 1 pound is for the salesman, and 1 pound goes to the manager, and apparently 1 pound goes to head office, wherever it is.

The salesmen on the street make about 50 pound cash in hand provided they walk 10 miles with a heavy suitcase weighing 45 kg, visitit at least 300 shops, and manage to sell to about 20% of those people. The manager who has his own branch is pocketing 50 pound from each of his salesmen, he had 17, so thats about 850 raw cash in hand per day, and 850 remaing goes to head office, the scammer who has set this all up and got mugs to be manager and salesman.

I was told that JACC Marketing was established in 1981, but i checked today on internet, it was formed in August 2004, and has changed directors too many times to mention. At interview, i saw JACC marketing, fosters marketing, and a few other names on the wall.

Yes, i believe the manager that it CAN be done, and he righfully worked his ass off for 8 months, became manager, has his own branch, and now pockets 800 pound per day, i believe that cause im very intelligent. But... what the manager fails to realise is that his bosses have passed the buck, they have probably registered a new company name for him, to make him fully responsible for the scam in his region. These companies pay absolutely no tax to the government, i doubt the manager is paying tax, he is taking home loads of cash every day, its only a matter of time before inland revenue screw him up.

Last point, there were about 17 sales guys there, so it is very competitive to become manager, even if you did want to head your own cash-in-hand scam, as arranged by JACC marketing, Fosters Marketing, or whoever else is in charge there.

The people who were "beaming" and looked like they had solid belief in this were the guys from overseas, the ones who know this is a good opportunity to make cash for a few years, and go back home. For a British Graduate, or any British person who has to stay in this country long term, this is not legitimate earnings at all. The foreigners are abviously being brainwashed there, its a shame they dont know the law, and cant see this is a scam.

I hope this helps you guys.

[Barbarossa]

Great first post. Thanks for the info. ;)

[SnnY]

Ha ha, that's incredible.

[Skweeky]

I can't believe they're claiming that :o

[Jagarga]

you could have done it aned claimed the dole and benefits. who's the loser now?

[Skweeky]

Na, I couldn't have. You have to have been in paid employment for a few months before you can claim if you're not a UK citizen.

Unfortunately

[NewEra]

Ive got an interview 2morrow 1sr round thanks to google I found this, should I truely avoid this?? Don't sound to good.

[JPaul]

This is one of the few serious threads in the Lounge, mate. From everything I've heard they are best steered clear off.

Let me put it this way, if Skweeky says don't touch them with a barge pole I'd be pointing my barge pole in another direction.

Tonight I shall mostly be using travel related metaphors.

Cheers guys, sounds like a bunch of shite to me! So will not attend the interview today, they really should change the contents of the job descriptions they put up smh! Jacc Marketing thats what they are known as, but on another job site they posted up as Blue Ice Ltd Uk lol.

[manker]

Jacc Marketing thats what they are known as, but on another job site they posted up as Blue Ice Ltd Uk lol.Really? How puerile. They don't sound very professional at all.

You should certainly give them a wide berth.

Preferably one what scammed people.

Ending every reply to a complaint letter with a lol ftw.

I may start doing that in all my correspondence

Recently graduated with a high honours from uni... Based on that long post from the guy stating what the job really involves, there's no way im puting myself through that. I've worked my ass off at uni and high school - and they are trying to offer a so called graduate job where they chuck me in the streets to sell some cheap-ass product...Screw that!

Got the call this morning...they offered me an interview for tomorrow. Said they would email me the info - if i dont get it, good... If I do get it, should i just not bother showing up/contacting them or should i phone with an excuse (offered a job elsewhere etc).

Would have been my first interview so it's all new to me still. On a side-note, any of you Scot's know of any decent places I can write to, to see if they have any open IT/Computing positions available? Been using S1Jobs mostly - applied for upwards of 40 positions and heard nothing from anyone.

What subject is your high honours in, that would presumably have some bearing on the type of job you wished to apply for.

Oh and bit off a tip here, don't use the possessive apostrophe when making a word plural. I know a lot of you chaps think things like that aren't important. However when sifting 350 applications for 1 job it's the sort of thing that puts an employer off. True Story.

[URGonex]

The degree was in Multimedia Technology if that helps... It's basically a course where they teach you a bit of everything in the computer world - hardware, programming, multimedia (love using Macromedia Director - made 3 different applications during uni)... like i said, a bit of everything really.

Would be well suited for a trainee web developer, graphic design etc... problem is they rarely exist and most of the time you need a portfolio with commercial experience.

[Chip Monk]

Have you tried one of the placement agencies. You go there give them a CV etc and tell them the field you are interested in. They will match you up with employers who are looking for people.

My eldest did that and got offered three jobs on the same day. Not the day he went, that would be too easy. He was given the interviews about a week later, then got all of the letters a few days after that.

Bear in mind that if you do it's important to treat every contact with them as if it's an interview, as that is effectively what it is. They make recommendations to the employers. It's really the first interview and the employer is then only doing a second one to see if they like you.

Doesn't cost anything, as they get paid by the business. The business saves money by only talking to suitable people.

It's well worth giving it a try. If nothing else it should get you some interviews. At worst that gives you practice.

[DeesJob]

Hey all - so glad I found this! They're advertising on all the big sites under the name Blue Ice Limited - found it weird when I couldn't find their website. Check out the ad:

The hotmail address should have given it away! I'm sure Samsonite etc would oppose to that name dropping!

So I'm told I've made it to next level and they book an interview for Monday, and theres a Jacc Marketing link on the confirmation email. I thought I'd check out the site to research them and after seeing a spelling mistake on the homepage alarm bells really started ringing! I Google them and come here - just in time. Will be sending them a short smart email saying I've found work elsewhere. Talk about a let down!:frusty:

maybe we could rename the thread to Jacc Marketing - Blue Ice UK LTD info

[Froggy]

hi
i dont know anything about jacc marketing. I have been given a full day assessment on Monday and after seeing this am wondering if i should go. I have gone for the one in Wilson Street London. Does anyone know it? Any advice?
Cheers

[Skweeky]

Doesn't matter mate
They all do the same thing
It's just different offices accross the UK

[051]

Glad i saw this forum before i went for that 2nd int.

Excellent info guys. Certainly helped me make my mind up about this one. though i think i should've known better.

Jacc seem to be linked with these guys in Manchester.

G Force Marketing - Manchester
P&G Marketing - Manchester
16 Newton Street, M4

Went for the 1st int. 5 min chat, Loads of bullsh*t.
We work with Disney, Liz Carb, Samsonite & MBNA.
Just a company thats working with those kinda names
doesnt keep offices like they do. Be wise and avoid.

Also Primus marketing london?

This thread is now the #1 hit on google for 'Jacc Marketing'.

Tesco should contact Jacc Marketing and ask how much they'd pay if he was to take this thread down.
Fuck the unskilled plebs who might otherwise go to work for them, if I was tesco, I'd take the cash money and spend it on cocaine and hookers.

[Chip Monk]

And also he dould do a thread where everyone was all like "Wow, they are a great company". Some sort of sponsorship deal perhaps.

' Jacc Marketing , we are the people who are trustworthy as fuck to do pleasant businessings with'

[Something Else]

:glag: They get my vote.....wait...who the fuck are they? Never heard of em....

[Skweeky]

They seem to have closed down their office in Glasgow now.
I walk past it every day and the name tag isn't there anymore. Seems like they had to give up on that one.

[Scuff]

Thank you all for this info. Truth is- I was also suspicious about the type of company who's website only seems to apply to applicants (not a single thing about their clients or rates or techniques or successes). That and the fact they have a spelling mistake in their mission statement. But you all saved me wasting a morning,

cheers.

[enoughfakefiles]

No problem.

[Mr JP Fugley]

We > Jack Marketings

[sum1]

Wow, I read this page and I'm surely not going to the 2nd interview.
They announced on a jobsite 12 new vacancies as Blue Ice UK Ltd, when I got there it was Jacc Marketing on the entrance and afterwards I found out the new office is gonna be called London Marketing Services.
They've just moved to Shand St in London Brige SE1.
Does anyone wanna give a ring to Inland Revenue about them?
hehehe
Anyway, looks like the scam is going on and growing on.
Sounded too good to be true from the begining.

Jacckass Marketing!

[Skweeky]

They've been in London Bridge for years...

There's one in Auldgate as well

Don't even go there. They will bugger you rotten. :ph34r:

[worm12]

Was i bit curious about them when i couldn't find anything on the web (as you do when your going for an interview), then went for the first interview, didn't tell me much about who i would marketing to but their structure and how they became manager of their own team within 8 months. Got a call for second interview within an hour of leaving. Asked for website details, gave me the one in London, does not say much about them at all.....now getting very worried! Found this and registered and having fun reading about it all! Now i know why i was worried and rightly so!
I have called and canceled my appointment and they weren't bothered at all! They need shutting down immediately.

[gnrforever]

hey anyone got any news on this please

[Teff]

Hahaha
How fun is that!!!

I worked a few months for Jacc Marketing as well.
I actually kind of liked it for a while because some ppl working there were very nice... and I learned about sales and how to manipulate people... In a certain extend, it was fun... not if you really want a proper job or a proper career... and i was doing "events"... so it was not door to door stuffs... none of this "clearance" shite.

I'm foreigner (again... yes), was broke, just arrived in the city and needed money... fast. Without a NI number, nobody else wanted me... and without a job, they didn't want to give me the NI number... so i had pretty much no choice...

I did very crap money (never been able to convince properly any unemployed drunks that they had to spend their benefit cheque on a dancing and singing fluffy pig, or a poor old granny she had to spend her last tenner on a set of book she could find at any bookshop for just a fiver)

It ended badly actually... I was sacked... I didn't bring back enough money to them.... As i was barely earning enough to live... it was not a very bad news... When I stopped working, i was completely shattered, sick (working 12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week does that to you), and i had borrowed money to my friends to be able to survive a month without a salary...

By the way, the company still exists (well i think.... I've heard of them just a few weeks ago from someones who knows someone who still works there), but they've moved to another part of Glasgow...

And by the way... yes it's true: JW is a w*nker!

[chalice]

Fucking hell.

First post on the board and it's about that mental company.

You must've searched for that, like.

Surreal first post of the week award.

[Something Else]

He just from the cunting company trying to sell his cunting shite. It's a disgrace.

Ban them all FTW
