This company and many others like it have job titles like "Entry Level Marketing and Advertising. Work with PRO SPORTS!". Also the body of the job title will include words like "offering training in the following fields, promotional marketing and advertising, finance, strategic planning", and claims they are looking for numerous entry level candidates for marketing and advertising.
I have found this job description is a complete fabrication. The job is very simple, it is door-to-door sales. It involves going to different homes or businesses trying to sell merchandise to customers that are better off without it. Nowhere in the job posting does it mention it, which makes it very shady.
The first interview is usually a quick meet and greet that again makes no mention of "door to door sales" or solicitation". Then the second interview brings the truth, an all day interview of door to door selling. Raining outside? Bring an umbrella. Snow? Bundle up. Scorching heat? Bring plenty of water. No Soliciting signs? Forget it, your going in anyway.
I have a friend working with one of these shady companies and the cops arrested him for selling without a permit. What did the company do? Nothing, so he spent the night in jail.
Be warned. If you see "entry level marketing" or "sports marketing" tread carefully and make sure to ask what the actual job entails before interviewing. The fact that the actual job duties are hidden should be a tell-tale sign that this business is shady and needs to be exposed.
Watch for ds-max, ds/max, dsmax, cydor and granton marketing companies!!
