My account of The Fleming Organization is no different then others, those 'reports' on this site that are still visible and those which have been archived.
I was called in for a 10 A.M.interview by Mike McMahon with Terron Montre Fleming at the business suite offices in Machester/Ellisville for an account executive position. Terron strolled slightly before 11 A.M. During this time, I spoke at large with the receptionist about the company, which she was completely oblivious too. She, in such words, said she is "kept in the dark". She didn't know one client the company worked with - which I thought to be very odd.
When I went into the bare conference room with Terron, I was actually quite impressed with him at first. He said he inherited the company from his deceased father, and mentioned at least a dozen times how he worked in car sales. I do not believe he has anything to do with who is pulled in for the interviews, because when he scanned over my resume, discovering I am a newspaper reporter, his eyes grew large and he became nervous, fast-talking and seemed uncomfortable in my opinion.
At the end of the interview, I felt uncomfortable with the company, but Terron had said he was interested in me with the company, and to contact Mike McMahon the next day to start the background check. I have nothing to hide and already work for a professional company - have no criminal record and am drug free - but I was very hesitant to provide personal info to this company for a background check because of identity theft.
I was not interested in the company after the interview, but was curious about what in my opinion was some sort of scheme, so I contacted Mike McMahon the day after. Oddly enough, I couldn't get ahold of him the next few days in a row and he never contacted me back.
There are a lot of things I find to be troubling about this company that people should be aware of in my opinion:
- The fact that "company employees" - Terron, Sarah and Mike - have spent so much time on this site to unprofessionally debate those who post on here. It is a very odd manner for a real professional company to act. Most companies let their work speak for itself and don't bother to visit sites like this because they have no worries their company is legitimate. I hardly doubt someone from Fleischman Hillard would respond to criticisms on here.
- The fact Terron was not able to provide me with any clients the company deals with.
- The fact that I have been unable to dig up any info on The Fleming Organization in Illinois or Missouri that would show Terron inherited a previously established company.
- The fact that I did not see any other employees of the company besides the receptionist at the office. Terron was also unable to provide me with a specific location to the company's "other facility".
- If you bother to call the company at its listed phone number, no one ever answers the phone - no receptionist, no employee, nothing. If you punch in a extension, no answer either. There is not a answering machine to leave a message either. Very fishy.
People, when dealing with this "company" use common sense. I highly suggest you show no interest in this company, but if you feel you wish too, then in the interview demand (professionally) to see or hear a list of more than 10 companies or clients The Fleming Organization deals with. Also, push to find the "other location" where "over 100 employees" (as Terron told me) work. If you do get a list of clients, call all of them and see if they know of the Fleming Org. If you get an address to the "other location" then visit it - see if it holds up.
Just because these so called 'people who work for the company' post on here does not mean its not just one or two persons posting as fake made up people. Just because a press release is submitted on freepressrelease.com by the company does not mean it is anymore legitimate. If you scan the site the Fleming Org. Uses at freepressrelease.com, you can find free press releases for about anything, including free porn sites.
Better yet, since Sarah, Mike and Terron spend so much time on here. How about you do your company its due diligence and provide an extensive list of clients worked with and an address to the location where all the employees work.
