After spending a day with a "so called" manager in the field of marketing for LAF coastal promotions / Quantum. I can tell you not to waste your time.
I have a college degree, and lots of experience, but the way they advertise this venture it appears to be legit at first. They spam every career website they possibly can.
After a preliminary interview in a dirty office (with 10-15 other applicants), they tell you that you will receive a call back within the hour to notify you of a secondary interview.
Upon arriving for a second interview, you are sent of with a mid-level manager, or in my case the actual manager to carry out a "promotion" for the D.A.R. E corporation. At this point they ask you to ride in their car with them to the location. However DO NOT get in their car. If so, you will be stuck with them, as they usually do their promotions within 30-45 mile radius from their home office. They tell you to ask as many questions as you would like, but however, when you ask anything they are not comfortable with they simply tell you to wait until lunch to ask that question.
Bascially they buy cheap products at wholesale with either the DARE logo or some other cheap give aways and sell them to customers under the guise of helping the community and child safety.
In reality, they only donate 10-20% of their profit from sales to the actual cause. I saw my "training manager", tell people with food stamps that if they couldn't afford the cash, we could gladly take credit cards.
Ripping off people on food stamps is about as low as you can get.
Once you finally escape from the promotion they take you to lunch (which you of course pay for), and they tell you the scheme behind their marketing strategy. You can make money from this company, but everything the company receives back from your sales, at the end of the day you may receive $150-300 a week for approximately 8-10 hour days 5 days a week.
This is essentially a large, and semi-legal pyramid scheme with quantum at the top and supposedly 56-75 branch offices located around the nation. Sure, you can make money, but only by using deception and under the false pretense of helping charities.
Don't waste your time.
