I saw the add in the paper for a management training program. I was told to come in for my first interview which consisted of only a few questions and was told that I would be called between 5 and 6 that evening if I was chosen for a second interview. I was called around 5:30 and asked to come in two days later for a second interview. When I got there, there were between 25-30 people in a room and we were lectured for 3-4 hours. We were told that we were not hired as salesmen and that we would be training to take over our own office. After the lecture, the guy "interviewing" us said that he was going to call out names and that if he called our name, we had gotten the job, to fill out a form that he had and bring it back with us on Monday. On Monday, he was telling us how things were going to work. That we would recieve $175-$250 during our first couple of weeks of training and that our pay would increase after that. Then we were given a box of cologne/perfume to go out and sell. When payday rolled around, we were told that we only got a certain amount of what we sold during the week which completely contradicted what he had said on the first day. I worked for them for almost 2 weeks before I decided that it was cheaper for me to sit at home rather than run all of the gas out of my car carting people back and forth trying to sell their products. I have a customer that ordered cologne from them back in October and still has not recieved their merchandise. I've also learned since then that new "owners" have taken over the office that I was working for and that one of my "managers" no longer works for the company and the other is located somewhere else now.
