Blah, blah, blah my story starts like everyone else. I posted my resume on Monster and within 20 minutes I got a response by Johnson Marketing Insight my first thought was damn that was fast so I didn't respond and wouldn't you know it for three days straight when I checked my email there it was another email from Johnson Marketing Insights. So now my curiousity is sinking in and i'm thinking I have a medical background why is this marketing company email me so I called and spoked with Jenn the receptionist.
Jenn was very nice and told me that they are interviewing for entry level management positions and can I come in for an interview the next day? I told her no because I live an hour away, I'm a single mother and would need a couple of day to make arrangements with my babysitter, Jenn said fine then we scheduled the interview. She told me to dress professional and bring my resume so far sounds legit to me.
When I arrived at my interview there was five other people there. Jenn gave us the most ridiculous questionaire to fill out but i'm still thinking I have a medical background why am I here so about 20 minutes later Dave the assistant manager come out and called me and another person into the office for the interview, once again I'm thinking this is strange but of course I go along. Dave was really nice and took turns asking me and this other guy questions the whole thing felt awkward and only lasted 15 minutes.
We never had a chance to ask any questions about the company or position. Dave said there is a second round interview and he would contact us and that was that.
By the time I get home I was contacted and was offered to come in for a second round interview once again was told to dress professional. Go to the second round interview and was told that I would be shadowing one of the office's top leader. Still, I had no clue what this job was all about and where I has going. So, we leave the office and get into his Sanford and Son dump truck then at that point I'm told what's going on.
On the ride to the terriority the so called top leader of the office had to stop by the bank and cash his check then he stopped at Chick-fil-A to change clothes by this time I'm like hell naw he is so unprofessional. Ok we get to the "T" as they call it and go door to door knocking on strangers doors but this the part that kill me, no one told me to bring comfortable shoes, I'm walking up a damn hill for 7 hours in 2 inch heels, I know what a dummy. At lunch he's telling me all these good thing about the position and all the money I can make. As a single mother it was music to my ears.
We get back around 7 and I was offered the position and without a thought or concern I accepted. This is were it gets interesting folks, remember I interviewed with Johnson Marketing Insights but the day I actually started work the manager for Johnson Marketing Insights moved his office to Chicago so now I'm working for this midget carrot top howdy dowdy Matthew Kortz of Matlin Marketing Inc.
To anyone who has been contacted by this company run far far away it's like a damn cult. They have this room called "Atomsphere" were they listen to loud music, play childish games and hi five each other to get ready and motivated to walk door to door in 10 degree weather. Atomsphere is a positive room so no negative talk what so ever is allowed. Matt has this thing he calls posi-negs: example, I did really good today but was chased by a dog. How ridiculous is that? Trust me I know a posi-neg when I hear one I was scolded for them all the time.
And don't let me talk about road trips. I went on a road trip to another office in Philly called Cor Concepts managed by the wicked witch of the east Gabby that big nose bitch is evil. Our sleeping arrangements wasn't in place when we got there, we had to stay with othe people luckily for me the person I stayed with was real cool but my co workers weren't so lucky. At the office they dropped the F word like I change clothes.
I can go on and on about this so word to the wise watch out!
