Hello everyone,
Just want to THANK everyone who has written on RIP OFF REPORT! It helped me when I came home from an interview with "Winners Advertising" AKA: TRYUS Promotional Concepts in Woburn, MA. Before the interview, I wrote a bunch of questions for this so called marketing company. Went to the interview, told to dress professionally and bring copies of your resume. So I did, Met with this man who started telling me about there "Management Training Program", and how I would be going to different events, such as malls, and I would be promoting there clients, American Cancer Society, DARE Programs, AT&T (100% small business aquisitions). I asked him what a typical day would be for a person in that job, he gave me a round about answer stating the above statments. He also asked if I could attend a training in LA since that is were there headquarters is based out of. He also stated that the company was going to CANCUN for a business trip. SINCE I did my homework, I found NO advertising/marketing firms by that name located in LA California!!!
I was skeptical, since before the interview I called and asked for there website, The website a directory where you click on a link and it brings up a page of sparce information & no pictures.
Anyway, I was so happy when i got a call back that same night, stating that I have been chosen out of the 40 they interviewed to come back for the second interview, which would be a full day event starting at 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM. He told me to bring copies of my resumes, dress professionally, wear comfortable shoes and bring a pad of paper and a pen. Strange that he would say wear comfortable shoes, I didnt even realize to tell anyone he stated that info!!!
SO I ENDED UP HERE AT RIP OFF.com, Read all the other complaints about marketing agencies, SAME STORIES or similar STORIES over and over again! I was amazed.
BEWARE, these companies have been expanded into Massachusetts. Also Granton marketing as well, Saw and ad in the local newspaper.
They might not be scams, just a very slimy business approach, but they are a ADVERTISING company who want young professions/college students to get the run around to do different jobs such as cold calling.
So once again be aware MASSACHUSETTS residents!
Do NOT waste your time on any of those companies listed above!
SKIP over them if they are in the newspaper.
Hope this reaches enough people
and once again thanks for everyone else who put there report in and informed me and probably plenty of others!
Thanks
