Alonti, Boss Advertising - Victoria Jackson
It's not a job, it's a cult!

I have a Marketing background, and "interviewed" (if you can call it that) for an AT&T position with Boss. When I discovered that it meant wearing an acid-orange shirt, and going door-to-door to sell digital TV, etc, I declined. The next week, I found a listing for selling upscale cosmetics - well, I could do that, sounded like fun... And there I was back at the same place, looking at the AT&T guys in their crazy shirts!

I mentioned this during the "interview", and asked if they were the same company (AT&T is under Boss, and the cosemetics is under Alonti). They said they were a "multifacted company". I decided a job was a job, and just let it go. I agreed to do a 2 hour "shadow" the next day. I went, and it seemed like fun, although when the whole position and pay structure was explained to me, I felt it was pretty wierd. And I did not see how on earth you could take home the promised $750 a week. However, it sounded like I'd at least have a job, so I agreed to go to work for them

And that was when the craziness began. First came the "conference call invitations" - texts sent to my cell phone constantly. Then, my "supervisor" began calling me at wierd hours wanting "just to talk" (at 10 PM on Sunday night? I don't think so!). Then she began texting me. Finally, while I was on my way to my first day of work, she called me and asked me to work 3pm to 9pm. I explained that I was almost to the job site (60 miles from my home), and she said, "Well, just don't bother then, you can work a 12 hour day tomorrow. We all do 12 hour days." Then she began talking about me going to Dallas to work "outside of my demographics" for 18 days. Huh? What?

What I'm relating here is the Reader's Digest version of my actual experience - while I just wanted a job, Alonti wants you to drink deeply of the corporate Kool-Aide.

The Victoria Jackson product is excellent - however, Alonti is simply nuts. It's more cultish than it is business - they want people who will sell cosmetics door-to-door, work 12 hour days in Sam's Club, and to work 6 days a week. Anyway, just say no if you see their ads on CareerBuilder - it's not a real job!
