I received an email to set up an interview for a potential marketing position with this company. Before arriving I tried to research the name and found nothing. During the first interview I explained that I was not interested in a strictly sales position and that I was looking for something along the lines of product development. When I asked him what the company actually did he was extremely vague and said that they manufactured products for big name companies (Disney etc.).
He invited me for a second interview. I decided to accept but I was still confused about what the company actually did as well as the fact that it seemed like he was uneducated.
When arriving for my "all day" interview. I was introduced to a young man (my age 23) who told me that we would be going to visit some local clients that the company had. I was hesitant but decided to go ahead and see how the day went on. 40 minutes later we are in the valley and he is pulling some crappy mini cameras out of the trunk of the car. When asking him how many clients there were he responded with 300!
Then he proceeded to hustle people on the street, in the stores and walk directly into peoples work studios in back alleys whether or no allowed. He proceeded to lie and try to exploit me to gain a sale. When returing to the office for the "final interview" I explained to Luigi the "owner" that i was mislead, upset and would never accept the job.
He then gave me a lengthy speech about how money is more important than what the job actually entails and that he mislead me because I would not have showed up if I had known what the job was. The other 5 potential employees were just as shocked and mislead as I was. I am disgusted with the tactics of Luigi and I definitely learned my lesson.
