I was actually referred by someone I used to work with. I knew he was getting referral money but I didn't realize he was making $2',000 and had been groomed to stretch the truth of the job to get me to quit where I was working to join them.
Everyone there seemed to be scripted and from the moment you walk through the door act as your best friend, to me it felt a little culty & is meant to take your focus off the reality of the job.
The reality of the job:DOOR TO DOOR MARKETER. I was told I was being hired as a Marketing Manager, along with others in my training group and some others were told they were going to be sales people.
The truth behind the first "3 months of training"
During the interview you are told that you will go through 3 months of training and no matter how qualified, everyone must go through it.
Well by day 3 of the training I realized the only thing I was being trained on was memorizing scripts and by the end of the 1st week I was no longer in training but being dropped off in random neighborhoods to go door to door. That was the reality of the job and your training was officially over.
I noticed though by this time most everyone else in training was wooed by the company and didn't even realize they had been lied too though the entire process.
Any company that purposely hides the truth in terms of job description, pay and intent is probably NOT the best culture to become a part of. There are plenty of other places out there that you can get hired into. Jobs even as a door to door marketer with companies that are upfront about the job details.
I am writing this to try and help someone who is considering this job or maybe started it and had doubts: If you are thinking about leaving another job for this one or just finished college DO NOT let them manipulate you into joining this organization and wasting valuable time. Do whatever is right for you, it just felt wrong not to share this experience.
There is more concerning experiences that I could share but hopefully this helps.
Also note: There is truth behind the comments in other reviews stating employees are highly encouraged to write positive reviews!!! The experience at this company actually made me take websites like glassdoor with a grain of salt.
