Red line events is now running under a different name "neptune promotions" is what they now call their marketing company in their ads on hotjobs careerbuilder and monster they will either call you or send you an email telling you that they have reviewed your resume and would like you to come in for an interview and that they would like you to check out their website before hand www.vbpromotions.com
When I came in for my interview I was sat down in one of six crappy chairs in the "lobby" and given a BASIC information sheet to fill out... How many job applications have you filled out that are only 1 page front only? Then i sat and waited for a little over an hour until i could be interviewed the whole time i was in there it sounded like they were trying to run a cheap club out of the back room.
When i finally got to the interview process the first thing i was told was that he had just landed a MAJOR contract with home depot and sears (which made sense to me at the time because i had just seen a bunch of people coming from the back and they were all dressed in either home depot or sears shirts with slacks so i figured they were reps from those companies... Which i latter found out that they were just employees of this SCAM) Doug kept stressing the point that these were major companies. Close to the end of the interview doug started coaching me on how to approach the hiring board that i would possibly meet with (i figured it was b/c we bonded a little bit sharing a first name and all). Then after the interview i was told that i would be receiving a call between 5and 7 either today or tomorrow to let me know if i was selected for another interview with the HR hiring staff... Needless to say i recieved a call before i had even gotten home after my first interview and then scheduled a second interview for the following day at 3:30... I was given some paperwork to fill out sayin that i would be treated as an employee only i would not get paid for my training session. When doug called me back to his office i realized that there was no hiring staff then me and him when on a training session which was just a drive down to a home depot and walking around inside asking people if they had taken advantage of the free promotion (which is a design and estimate for either kitchen cabinet refacing or bath overlays) we walked around for about 30 min he said his script to 3 people and then proceded to 'teach' a little about marketing... Then we went back to the little office and he gave me a test saying fill this out to the best of your ability. The test was nothing more than what he had just gone over in the home depot needless to say i passed it.
When i was called back into dougs office we went over the test breifly and then he proceded to tell me about his background he said that when he was 18-19 he opened his own flooring business. He said that when he was 19 he was making six figures. Then he said that his business went under so he started trading stocks (making $25k-35k a month easy) he said he was living the mtv cribs life and living in the top penthouse of the va beach town center he said he was getting a new car every 5 months and spending $10k in rent each month... Then he said that when the market crashed he lost everything (if you are half decent in stocks you know to cut your losses and sell when bad news comes out) then he said he went through a depression and then found this company and proceded to talk about his stats and a guy who became a national leader in 13 months and is now making upwards of $500k / yr "I dont like to throw any numbers out there" atmosphere or the dojo is a cult like meeting that they have in the morning. Then i spent the entire day walking around home depot trying to appear as a manager asking people if they were finding everything ok and if they had taken advantage of the free promotion.in the dress code that you sign it says that you must dress professionally and have a contemporary haircut... My trainer had dreads... Hmm all of the people that work there are the typical insecure mindless drones that you find working for companys like amway, or cutco take it from me... If you have to sign a waver before you begin working saying that you are in no way an employee of home depot or the parent marketing company... Stay away if the promotion plan seems extremely quick... Stay away... If there are promises of making six figures and beyond and obtaining all of your dreams (making a poster with magazine cutouts of your dream items)... Stay away... If your co-workers are sketchy when you ask them how much they have made with the business and why they arnt owners already if they have been with the business for 6 months... Stay away... All of the other reviews for Red line events are true this is the same company if you dont believe me take a look
