It is sketch. I don't want to really get into it, but avoid those fuckers like the plague. Or, if you have time and money to burn, infiltrate them and ruin them.

it's just a sales firm . . . it's harmless at the entry level. it's business-to-business sales though, so you probably wouldn't make much money now, with gas being so high and all.

It's not just a sales firm. Their whole deal is trying to get you to "open your own office."

I heard that they are dedicated to the higher duty and honor of eliminating the name "Jonathan"
from the face of the planet by simply killing off anyone named such.

Me:"Hello, yeah my name is Jeffrey and I was calling about the marketing ad in the newspaper."

Her:"Hello! Would you be available for an interview tomorrow sometime between 12 and 2?"

Me:"Well, I was hoping maybe I could get some information on the position?"

Her:"My manager would be the one you need to talk to for that, Can you come in and interview with him sometime tomorrow?"

Me:"Can you just tell me what the position is for?"

Her:"No, I can't give that information"

Me: ----click-----

Sketch.

"Account manager" is the kind of phrase that should send you running, as is "direct marketing."

i made the mistake of interviewing w/ them - don't bother. it's a cattle call - unless you are EXTREMELY desperate, i don't think it's worth even trying. they bring you in for the first "initial interview" which lasts approx. 5 mins then they call you 5 mins after you leave wanting to get you to come back for a FULL day interview. bottom line, it's a waste of time.

yeah... i interviewed with them... sketchy...

Madcappa actually worked for them for a day... it basically involved running around to business after business and irritating the hell out of the employees and customers trying to sell vacation packages
