Wow... I wasn't surprised to read all of the consumer complaints on US Marketing Alliance.
I submitted my resume on Monday. To my surprise I received a call back on Tuesday to schedule an interview on Wednesday. I was excited, felt my resume impressed them. Not. I arrived at the company & went to the 3rd floor. It was lonely & quiet. I didn't have the best feeling about it, but I was already there so lets see how it goes. I walked into a poorly decorated office with a few chairs around the office lobby with approximately 5 people sitting in them. The receptionist gave me an application to fill out & asked for my two resumes. While waiting she made small talk about any plans for the weekend. I was surprised that the people going in to interview were coming out after/before 10 minutes.
This gentleman, which I will prefer not to mention his name finally called me back after a 45 minute wait. We went back to his bosses offices. He started to talk about the company and what there mission is. Then he asked me about what I like to do outside of work. We chatted a little about me and after he said he likes me a lot and that, that goes a long way. I was like, Okay. He told me about the second interview & asked if I was selected would I be able to come in tomorrow for an all day interview process. Which by the way, included going out in the field with one of the Top Account Rep. I said, Yes. Then he got up and said they'll call me later today. Later today came less then two hours later, the receptionist called to Congratulate me & scheduled me for an interview & 1:15pm.
Thankfully, I called my girl friend that day to tell her about this job. She told me to be careful and to do more research on the company. Since when I did my research it was difficult to find much because of there abbreviations (USMA). I took her advise the first thing to pop up was a Ripoff article. The guy explained everything just the way it happened to me. I decided to call US Marketing Alliance to ask a few more questions before I went in. The receptionist just said that it will all be explained during the interview. Yeah, I canceled my appointment & told her I did my research on the company and am no longer interested in the position. She only said, okay. That's all that I needed to hear. She knows that they just scam people for there time and money.
Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice... I don't think so!!!
Thank you, to all of you that report companies such as US Marketing Alliance. It really saved me time and money. Best of Luck to all of you!!!
