I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Atlanta City Access (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2019
Interview
I applied online and almost immediately got a Phone call. My gut told me that something was fishy about the immediacy of the return call. I also noticed the LinkedIn posting said there had been over 300 applicants..... Another fishy smell. I thought "ehh whatever" and decided to go through with the interview two days later. I got into the office and was immediately regretful that I had even showed up. Now don't get me wrong.....I'm fresh out of a state college with a marketing degree. I need a job. Bad. But this place had a line at the door for other suckers like me that replied to the job posting. There were people in jeans and tennis shoes, and one lady even brought her kid. The office smelled like a double wide trailer that had been in service since 1985. It was musty. I did NOT want to work in a facility such as this. I was reluctant to even stay, but thought "You drove an hour here, just stay and see what this is." I shouldn't have listened to the voice of reason. So I sat down in the office of some 20 something slime ball and was just as blank as I could be. I showed no emotion because I was pissed off that this sad sack had wasted the first half of my day. After some explanation of what he is looking for and asking me if I had a reliable car.....What?? He asked me if I had any questions for him. I asked him what the job entailed, as the whole time he was talking, he had somehow skated around the whole reason I was there. He said the job was high growth potential and basically, I would start as an entry level employee making $500 a week OR.... not AND ...OR..... commission. He stated that if I made $300 in sales, I would take home the $500 base pay. Then he explained the opposite position. If I were to sell $1000, I would take home the $1000, excluding the $500 base pay. I then asked him what exactly I would be selling, since I had now found out that this was a sales job, and not a marketing job. He informed me that I would be going from business to business, in person, and selling Braves baseball ticket packages....... He then went on to say that if you made it through six months, you would move up automatically to manager! Wow! Without a doubt I could be a manager is six easy months! This manager position was then described to be a recruiting position so you could find more poor folks to sell ticket packages. If you hire enough, you then get promoted to open your own branch of this sleezeball company. The only thing that is missing from this pyramid scheme is trickle down pay. I didn’t hear him say I get a percentage of what my recruits would sell. Pity…. It’s all that was missing from this dumpster fire of a “job offer.”
I wasted half of my day to go stand in what resembled a bread line, sit in some musty office, talk to a greasy scam artist, and find out that I had spent 4 years in business school, only to be offered a door-to-door salesman position to bug poor people at local stores about buying Braves tickets.
This place is a joke. A scam. A ruse. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Listen to the voice of reason and stay away. It's not a career.
