Watch out for The Titan Group's ads and job postings that are frequently posted on job search web sites, such as monster.com, careerbuilder.com, and the like. Their ads are posted almost daily (or at least once every 2-3 days) and are very deceptive. They basically promise a glamorous career in sports marketing and promotions with unlimited earning potential and a fast track to management without any experience required.
It sounds too good to be true and unfortunately, it is! The problem is that their ads never specify how compensation is paid (salary, wage, or commission) or the exact nature and description of this job. This would make many people suspicious of these ads placed by The Titan Group.
Their employment ads have been so problematic that they have come to the attention by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with them giving The Titan Group an unsatisfactory record for this. The BBB of Eastern Missouri & Southern Illinois states on their web site (Source:
):
"Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the BBB due to its failure to substantiate or modify advertising claims."
Furthermore, the BBB also states (Source:
):
"Advertising Review
The Better Business Bureau has challenged some advertised claims with this company concerning an advertised job offer that failed to state whether earnings were for a wage or salary. The BBB brought to the firm's attention that all employment ads must be for a position with a wage or salary unless otherwise stated. If pay is wage or salary, the ad need not state. If pay is some other method, such as commission, it must be explained. The firm has failed to respond to the BBB's requests to modify or substantiate the ad."
The bottom line is this: watch out for their employment ads on monster.com, careerbuilder.com, and other like web sites. Do not fall for their unsubstantiated claims in their ads and their false promises contained in these ads.
Basically, this "job" is doing door-to-door sales on straight commission (where you may or may not make any money) making the company president, Mark Kernan rich, of course, at your expense. Do not waste your time applying online in response to these Titan Group ads, let alone go to their interviews.
Unfortunately, I made this mistake of interviewing with them (which was a complete waste of my time) and am therefore writing this report to save others from wasting time interviewing for this "job". Based on my unfortunate experience, my advice to job seekers is to watch out for these ads and stay away from The Titan Group and Mark Kernan!
