The first time that I saw the ad in the paper, I was excited. It stated that they were looking to fill management positions and loving hip hop music was a plus. I figured the job had something to do with music. Soon, I became very disappointed.
When I went to my first interview I was shocked to see the part of town the business was in. When I walked in the doors all you could hear was the very loud music they had playing. The "managers" were dressed very unprofessionally. The mouth on the man who conducted my interview didn't offend me personally; however, I was floored at the type of language he continued to use in such a professional setting.
When the interview began he asked me not to try to impress him or act "all professional" because he would be interviewing and hiring based on my attitude. All the things he said sounded good. He answered all my questions and I didn't have any reason to be concerned, until I came back 2 days later for my "second interview."
When I went back the second time I had my group interview by the most unprofessional people I have ever met. Again, most of these people were dressed like they were attending a party after work. The manager continued with the colorful language during the interview for so long that after a few minutes it became tiresome.
He explained in great detail how we can make sales and distribute the product to our customers:
1. Wholesale for resale.
2. Employees of companies we visit.
3. Promotions and fundraisers.
4. Established re-order customer and clientele.
5. Parking Lot sales
6. Word of Mouth.
At the end of the interview he gave us all a piece of paper that asked for information like my social security #, my driver's license #, and my car make and model and license plate #. I gave some of the information but now I wish I hadn't.
After doing more research on the company and the owner, Larry Hahn, I found that many people have had experiences similar to mine.
I'm glad I did this research and found this information before I quit my existing job.
