Interview
If you’re job searching keep looking. I applied for an account management/customer success position and at the interview was informed it is actually a direct marketing company. You know how when you go to Costco there’s always a pushy salesperson trying to sell you solar panels or home improvement plans? That is the job they are hiring for. The recruiter denied it was a multilevel marketing company, but it seemed to have a very similar structure and vibe. If you’re willing to essentially be a door-to-door salesperson it might be the right role for you, but this felt very much like a bait and switch. It’s not a marketing role, it’s not account management, it’s not customer success, it’s just a low level sales job making minimum wage + commission for a hard to sell product. I won’t call it a scam and I’m sure some people make money, but the promises of 150k and your own office within a year are clearly too good to be true, and it’s just a very sketchy business in general.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They will ask vague questions about your experience but don’t seem to really care, if you have a pulse you can probably get hired.

Interview
Stay away. This is a scam company. I had a sketchy phone interview for a marketing role. Had second thoughts but decided to do a phone interview anyway. Hiring manager said that the position involved visiting retail locations and selling by partnering with those retail stores (huh?). No benefits or compensation discussed. Also HM said "We need to fill this position in the next 2 days. We have hundreds of applicants so your next interview will be a group interview at 10 am tomorrow." That's how I knew this was a scam.
