Interview
The phone call I received to set up the interview that I applied for online seemed normal; the interview itself, not so much. I researched the company and the information provided was quite vague. I had used google maps to direct me there and once I had arrived to the building, I noticed that the company's business status, on google, was listed as permanently closed. Apprehensive, I still went into the suite and there were at least 8 or 9 other people there besides myself. Talk about unprofessional and a big red flag. I waited for over an hour to hear basically a sales pitch about the about the company. I was only asked one question and it had nothing to do about my credentials in which I was applying. In fact, the position they had posted on an online job site and their own site was not even close to what they actually wanted. It was a start from the bottom sales position that they wanted me to learn the business and products then be able to open my own office. Can we say pyramid scheme? I was quite shocked that a company would go to great lengths to scam people. Read "Company Reviews." Apparently the owner is a pro at doing this and it is NOT his first rodeo. I found the additional information afterwards, which saved me from going back into their office. Apparently, there have been several business entities in which the founder created to get people to work long hours for almost nothing. Providing others with false hope and information is despicable.

Interview
fairly simple, I was called in twice. Once for the interview and another one for personal information collection. Its not a really a proper interview. It just lasted about 10 to 15 minutes and them telling you about their company

Interview
I got a call to set an interview very shortly after applying for a Marketing and Public Relations Associate position. They seemed nice and committed to go on with the process. When I arrived at their office, I waited for nearly an hour over the scheduled time of the interview. This would normally be just unpleasant, not much of a problem, but when I finally got the chance to talk to the recruiter, I understood why the delay - they were interviewing dozens and dozens of people, and taking their time trying to convince them that a sales job is so much better than the position they were there trying to interview for. Discussions with my recruiter reveled they were not at all planning on hiring personnel for the marketing or P. R. department, but their goal was to grow their sales team. After just a few minutes of chatting and trying to discourage me from applying for a marketing job in their company, the guy realized he is going no where with me and he sent me on my way with a "don't call us, we'll call you" type of line. I never heard one word regarding the actual job description while I was there. They're cryptic, deceiving, eluding and overall dishonest. I wouldn't trust them for anything.
