After reading all of the reviews people left about victory promotions, I feel the pain that they experience when walking in the door. I applied on line and received a call back to come in for an interview. When I came up the small elevator only to walk into a small cramed office with seven other people coming in to interview for the same position... And more were coming in the door.
You sit and fill out paperwork and sit way past your expected interview time while the others ahead go. The receptionist sits there and makes the same conversation about the interview on the phone to others who must be applying. She also shovels food into her mouth infront of all to see.
Once the time comes you go into an office and talk with the manager about yourself and experiences. He then goes into some detail about the copmany... But not too much to leak what they REALLY do and what you are REALLY interviewing for. It seems like a good offer and they say that at the end of the day, you might get a phone call to come back for a second round to experience what the company does first hand.
Well, I for sure got lucky and was called back. Being suckered into it, I stupidly did come back and once again the office was still flooded with first round interviews. I sat there another good hour and a half past the expected time. I was told that the morning meetings were running past time. This did not bother me too much, since I was told to be prepared to spend the entire day with the company. Finally the time came.
A group of us interviewees came into the office again and were introduced to our partner. We then filed out and went outside where our partner looked over our resume and asked questions trying to get to know us. Don't get me wrong, my partner was great and very nice. We got in the car and they started quizzing us about different advertising strategies. We then went for lunch, wher I thought it was great i would be getting a lunch on the company... Not. I had to pay for my own lunch that I didn't even know were going to even stop there.
Once there, they explain the whole "pyramid" how you have to sell for about six months, then do the training they do, and then EVENTUALLY you are your own manager... Rarely did I learn that happens and if so, takes at least 3 years to achieve.
So the next five hours or so we went door to door trying to sell. If we went around the block once, we came back to the doors that didn't answer. It was the worst day of my life. I was going to call my friends to come and pick me up and just run away, but I didn't even know what town I was in. When we all gathered back together in the car to go back, the girl who was in the same position as me was texting and calling her friends... I knew she felt the same way that i did. Throughout the time I was there, I showed no interest for the job, and my parnter could read that.
Once we got back to the office she shook my hand and thanked me but said that if it was something I didnt want to do, she did not want to waste my time or her manangers (the final interview is that night). I thanked her for being understanding, and I ran from the street and immediately called my friends to go out for a drink... Something I needed after the torture I went through.
So, this is an experience like others have gone through. I advise you to not get suckered into it like I did. The job description sounded great, the website looks phenomenal... But its all a joke. Seriously, dont waste your time. Obviously after visiting this site, you already had your doubts. Well, now they are confirmed DONT DO IT!!!
