I was in need of a good paying job after college, so I decided to do the Career Builder thing and put my resume up there just to see what kind of jobs they had. Within days, I had a phone call from Dynamic Marketing Concepts, letting me know that they wanted to interview me. I asked them how many people were applying for the job and the receptionist told me that they were hiring someone for an Account Manager position and that they saw a couple of people already, but that they would love for me to come in and interview. I should have known by the way she dodge my question that something was up. I showed up at the office and there were about 7 other people there. I was kind of confused, but whatever. I finally get back into the interview room with Adam, the owner, and he seems really nice. They give me all this bull about making all this money and blah, blah, blah. Well I started working for them and on my first day, the guy that had taken me out on my interview was not there. I got assigned to another "team leader" and when I asked why he wasn't here anymore, I was told that he just didn't work out. I saw NONE of that money that they promised me when I signed on. They wanted me to lie to clients. When I went on the road trips to sell their products, I ended up being in one hotel room with 5 other girls... 6 girls in one room? Me and another girl ended up having to sleep on the floor the whole trip. It sucked! By the end of everything, I had worked for them for about 4 months and I ended up losing all of my savings while I was working there because I never got paid enough to make my rent or buy groceries. They kept trying to encourage me, telling me that I will eventually start making the money they promised me... It never happened and I saw COUNTLESS of people come and go, none of them making the money that they were promised either. I ended up having to move in with my boyfriend and had to give up my apartment. I am now in debt from putting things like groceries and gas on my credit card. Oh and they do not pay for your gas when you have to be out ALL day driving around in YOUR vehicle in these WAY out there places. Get this... They have territory up in Northeast Georgia, like Blue Ridge. It takes you about an hour and a half to get up to Blue Ridge (one way) from Atlanta. They expect you to drive into work in the morning, go out to your territory (like blue ridge), spend the whole day out there trying to sell products to businesses that DO not want these products, and then drive back into Atlanta just so you can ring a damn bell based on how much products you sold. That could possibly be a 3 hour drive EVERY DAY and guess what? You have to pay for everything. You will not be reimbursed for any of your gas, any expenses you have because of the business, nothing.
I thought that right out of college I would land a great marketing job and I thought it might be with this company. Boy was I wrong!!! Stay away!!! That whole little scheme that they spout you saying that you will get your own company is wrong.
