I called Eagle Enterprises from an ad in the Alton Telegraph. They said that I should "dress nice because this is a business interview" 1st red flag. Went in and their office is very empty. Only one girl at front desk "tracy" (i think) then filled out a bogus application that asked "do I have a car, and what kind". 2nd red flag. Went in and talked with Chris Phillips. I asked if they are a big company and he said that they are "in all 50 states and some other countries". I then asked for a web site. He said that "they do not have one" I asked him "why a company that was in all 50 states and other countries does not have a web site?" and he said he was sorry that they "just don't". 3rd red flag.
Then I asked him what he did before he started working for Eagle Enterprises and he said that he was a manager at Ameristar making $70,000 a year and was "downsized". He said that he had been with Eagle Enterprises for 4 months! 4th red flag. He said that "this company sells fragrances similar to name-brand ones at a deep discount and they are looking to open up offices in Alton, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Springfield, Bethalto and a few other places." He said that "he would give me my own office to run after I finished a training program" 5th red flag.
After talking with him about nothing (no real answers to any questions) he asked to "come back tomorrow for an hour or l l/1 hours for a second interview". I got home and called him back only to get "tracy" again and asked her what the parent company was for Eagle Enterprises (C. Phillips had told me that all of the individual offices have their own names). She said that she "will have him call me back, that he would want to answer that". I then asked why she wouldn't give me the parent company name and she once again said that "he would want to answer that". That was 3 l/2 hours ago. I called 2 more times and asked for a return phonecall and still have not gotten a call. 6th red flag.
I then called the BBB and asked them about this company. They said that they have not heard of Eagle Enterprises, yet, but then asked me if it was "a immitation fragrance sales company" and I told them "yes", then they told me that companies have been popping up around selling these imitation fragrances... From here on they told me exactly what actually happens... It was exactly the same experience that I had! Same phrases, statements, complaints... EVERYTHING! Do not get sucked into this! Do your homework!!! I did and I have not been ripped off! Use your common sense and report this place to the authorities. Bingo... The RED FLAGS WIN
