Hello
Be aware of these so called "marketing companies"!!!
I found one of these scams trough careerbuilding.com and was contacted right away, not even 5 minutes after... I called the number on the email and schedule my interview for the same day (i called at 2 pm an the secretary wanted me to go there at 3pm, WHAT KIND OF COMPANY THAT WANT GOOD EMPLOYEES DO THAT?) anyway... I went there and they have 5 other guys in the room waiting for the interview... After a nonsense 5 minutes interview, where they told me that the work with all the major sports company like NFL, NHL and more, i was asked to come back next day for a second interview, but now a hole day interview or as they call "observation day". So i went there all dressed up expecting to see people working with sports and stuff, for my unpleasant surprise the girl told me that we would go out in a "field trip" (by that time i was like "WTF?") but i went... On the way i asked simple sport marketing questions like "what team you guys work with?" or "what strategies are most common in sports marketing?" and they had no idea of the answer, one of them even sad that he never worked with sports and didn't even like sports. So we finally got to these mall where we had to go in each store trying to sell these vacation packages for $50 bucks... We stayed the hole day there, the guy made 3 sales (Amazingly)! In the lunch time (that i was informed that they were gonna pay for) we went to a McDonnald's and the guy with me had the guts to offer us for "free" anything from the DOLLAR MENU! During "lunch" he explained us how the system works in the company (basically just like any sales system, with commissions and team leaders) and he was saying that after a period of 90 days i would be making over 1000 dollars a week. After the lunch we changed the partners and i went to another mall with other girl. She sad she was with the company for almost 9 months now and she needed to work like a maniac to make 500 a week... When we went back to the office i was told to come 3 days after and begin to work (JUST LIKE THAT, NO DRUG TEST, NO BACKGROUND CHECK, NO RESUME CHECK, NOTHING)
Off course i didn't went there and advise everyone...
Stay away from 4600 sheridan st suite 300 on the wachovia building... It a scam (unless you want to be a door-to-door sale person)
