Interview
The interview process was fairly simple. I entered the waiting area and made conversation with the woman behind the desk, who was a pleasure to speak to! After getting called in, I was personally interviewed by one of the HR managers who told me more about the position and laid everything expected out on the table. He held my attention the entire time and my ambitious responses earned me another interview the next day.
Interview #2 was virtually the exact same as the first one. After listening to the various steps, I was offered the job on the spot, which caught me off guard. I said I would need to think about it and the interviewer seemed unhappy with my answer since it is a "fast paced industry." The whole thing sounded like a scheme to get me into sales with the prospect of making more money eventually and sales was not what I had applied for. In the end, I ultimately declined the offer but it was a great experience and the staff was incredibly friendly--if it was more of a standard office environment I may have been more apt to accept the offer, I just don't want to begin my career trying to sell phone memberships.

Interview
Applied and got called in less than a week in Deer Park NY. Went in and waited only 5 min for the in person one on one interview in a old dirty office. Place was not up to date or even maintained, almost runned down. But the interview was straight forward about what they do and how explain my experience from my resume. Manager mentioned they market and give free phones to those on government supplementary income and market phones for sprint and verizon. He mentioned the position would be to manage those 6-10 employees who do the marketing and hopefully become a manager with a 6 month training experience. The interviewer said I need to come back for a 2nd group interview the next day in the morning to discuss more about compensation and the position. However it is too far for me in Deer Park Long Island and did not continue to the 2nd interview but the interview was only about 7-9minutes.

Interview
I first arrived into the office to a waiting room of other candidates. The receptionist is there calling other people to come in for an interview in front of you which was a bit awkward. The manager then called me in. She was very nice and asked basic questions and was called in for a 2nd round interview. As soon as I arrived I was told to follow this lady in her car to an "event." I asked where we were going and she refused to tell me or even give me an address. I felt like getting in my car and driving away as this was very suspicious however I followed her about 20 minutes away to the "event" anyway. The event was at..... A GAS STATION!!! XD
The lady then interviewed me outside of the gas station when it was 90 degrees out in my business professional interview suit. I was so caught off guard by the fact I was being interviewed outside of a gas station that I could barely think. Basically the company paints this picture of hosting events for NASCAR, Sprint, and the Breast Cancer Foundation but really what you are doing is selling car wax at gas stations. Event=Gas Station...
After this "event" I was told to go back to the office for a 3rd round interview. First I was given a review on the interview and a pop quiz on what I learned. They then explained the program and its pay structure. Basically you sell wax at a gas station for the first 2-4 weeks and make about $200-$400 a week then you become a trainer and make $600-800 a week. After 6 months you become an assistant manager and make around $1000 a week and if you are lucky you become manager and make around $80,000 a year.
At 4PM that day I got a phone call from them saying I got the job however as much as I wanted to grow. Selling wax at gas stations is not the way to go. Also ignore the employment reviews! The most recent/positive ones were written from current employees who were instructed to say how awesome it was in order to attract people into applying!
