For recent college grads that are looking for work in the greater Twin Cities area, stay away from the West Company. There was a advertisement for a marketing job that paid $35,000 a year on Monster.com. I contacted the company and Don Westrom scheduled an interview with me. I drove the two hours to Bloomington and when I got there I found out that there was no such job. The West Company is just an emplyoment agency run by one little man who will take 15% of your first year's salary in return for him finding you an assistant manager posistion at Menards or Applebee's. I reviewed the contract before the interview and for some reason decided to go in and meet this guy anyway. He told me that I had no chance of gaining employment in the marketing field and even had the nerve to tell me that I wasn't enthusiastic enough during the interview. This is just a warning for all of you that might come across an offer from this toolbox.
