Interview
I arrived to a room full of other candidates also waiting to interview. My interview was quick and i was told i would be called back for a second interview if they were interested. I got a call back later that day for a second interview. They told me to wear comfortable shoes, i figured comfortable shoes in an office environment would be flats. When i arrived for my "working interview" i found out i would be going door to door with my trainer..had i know i would have worn tennis shoes but of course they dont tell you to wear tennis shoes, they just said "comfortable". The day consisted of us going door to door trying to sell gas. I had to wear a huge blue coat with a different company logo on it that was given to me by the trainer. She took me out to lunch and dodged any questions about pay or how i would be paid. She also tried to sell me this idea that within a few months i would own my own part of the business and potentially make millions of dollars. Completely insane. BEWARE! I got the offer and accepted it and never showed on Monday which felt great.

Interview
Single one-on-one interview session of approximately 20-30 minutes. Waited about 10-20 minutes in the lobby before being called in, with 3-5 other candidates. Interviews were being conducted by a handful of interviewers. Questions were basic, shallow, and generally aimed to assess communication and interpersonal skills.
Applied for a Market Research position. However, during the interview I discovered they "require" everyone to do a minimum of 6 months of direct sales. That is, they were actually hiring people for a sales position with the 'opportunity to move up after 6 months'; i.e. a standard sales job. I brought the description of the position I actually applied for, and the interviewer dodged my questions about the false advertising. They offered me the job; I declined.
