      Sales Administrative Assistant Interview

      May 14, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alchimie Forever (Washington, DC) in May 2019

      Interview

      This position was for the Sales Administrative Assistant at this company and this is a very truthful and accurate review. I applied for the position online by contacting the company. I was then contacted by a representative for a first-round telephone interview which explains the position which simply answering customers' inquiries, processing customers' orders on the same-day, speaking with warehouse office in another state that ships the products out to the customer, keeping the customers up-to-date on their orders, dealing with customers' complaints, item returns, and item exchanges. This position also requires you to market the company's social media and to convince influencers to try the company's products and write or film a paid promotional review and you also have to deal with the company's financial representatives. This is a very small, family-owned company that consists of the CEO, a representative manager, a public relations manager, and one unpaid intern. Keep in mind that the Company's CEO is not in the office most of the time and travels by plane, train, and car or is on-the-road within the United States 80 percent of the time to sell company's products. The CEO is physically not in the office. You will have to deal with an absent boss. Also, the company office is operated in the CEO’s personal home residence in a private, suburban, and sacred residential neighborhood. However, when it came to the second-round interview either in-person or Skype, there was an issue with the company. The company does not offer health insurance whatsoever at all and there is no negotiation to begin work at a later date. But the biggest red flag in addition to lack of benefits, working in a single-family home, and no flexibility to start work at a later date is that this company will not provide employees the opportunity to be paid for overtime work, especially if you are in a salaried position like this one. The salary for this position is at 35-thousand dollars with a limited number of days for paid time off. Also, the background check was simply a one minute process through a credit bureau website. The company and its CEO had a concern about why I worked at a temporary staffing agency (and asked why I wouldn't go back to a temporary staffing agency) and my career experience which was in another area and didn't understand that candidates like myself are looking for real employment with actual benefits. This company and its management will absolutely "use" you and "take advantage of you". They will not pay you overtime whatsoever and will not let you work two weeks after you been offered the job. They wanted someone to start immediately on short-notice and a decision within 24-hours. Also, if you want to actively continue searching for employment in any career industry, this company will not allow you to look for employment. The company wants someone for the long-term. The company got concerned about me asking questions about the offer of employment letter, especially when I have a right to do. The company was intimidated and very scared of prospective job candidates' questions about the job; especially when it comes to an offer of employment letter. I am very thankful and glad that the company rescinded their job offer as I was not the right fit for them. I have a real, truthful right as a prospective employee to ask the company some questions about the then- job offer and the job position itself. And, this company and its CEO was intending to "use" me, take "unfair advantage of me" as a prospective employee, and was not going to treat me properly. Management does not care about you in this position and wants you to make their job easier. Stay away from one-person companies like this one that has no real respect you as an individual let alone an employee. You have been warned! Work at your risk. Stay away from this company. It is not worth it. Stay away!
