I applied through a job posting, saying It was an event coordinator position. First interview was at the pyramids in their small cramped "office." Apparently what they were looking for was someone to be an "executive manager" for their company. It was a very short interview lasting maybe 15 minutes at most. While there you filled out a piece of paper with your information and if you had ever done marketing, had a car of your own, and what not. He said he would call me around 4pm that day if I was to move onto the next step. I got that call and was told that I would be meeting their recruiter on site the next day (mind you first interview was on Friday, so second interview would be on Saturday) I agreed hesitantly because I had read these reviews but wanted to make sure they were true. I was told I would get an email with the details. I got the email and saw that I would be going to Kokomo at 4:00pm, which is an hour and a half drive from where I live. I then got a phone call from the recruiter around 1:00pm telling me that "he was doing multiple interviews today and not to come into the store till 5 minutes before my interview time." When I got there the second interview part took place in the cafeteria because "someone is interviewing in the conference room right now" (which I found suspicious because it was a Sams club, I had worked at a Walmart company before and knew that vendors were not allowed in most employee only areas like conference rooms). We talked for a few minutes and he seemed surprised that I had event planning experience like he never even looked over my resume before then. Then we walked over to where the "event" was taking place. It was a table with product on it and I was told to stand next to the table, not talk to the customers at all, and take notes on everything I saw him do. He then walks away and I'm supposed to stay where I was and somehow write what he did. Impossible! He gave me 5 minutes to write everything, and when I only had 1 piece of paper with my list. He seemed disapproving of it. I was using a big yellow notepad. He asked if I had any questions and when I started asking some questions about a few things like pricing on the product the reply I got was "HR has all that information, no need to write that down" which confused me since I was told to write down everything I saw. We then walked back to our "interviewing spot (the tables)" and we talked a few more minutes. When I was told the company had nationwide sites I asked for more information since all I could find out was about this location. Apparently they are a Satellite company for Momentum Marketing. He then went on to tell me that I would start out as training under sales for 5-8 weeks. Which I was told in the first interview I would only be shadowing each department for a couple weeks at a time. Then I was told that I would be making 7.25+18% commission which would round out to a little 1600 a month (I was also told in the first interview it would be 1200-1600 biweekly to start with and that there was no commission or sales.) when I pressed for more information on how the commission worked and about benefits (I was told I would get half my benefits at start and then the rest halfway through training). I was told that if the company made like 1,000 in one day. The 18% commission for that day would be 180, which is nice until I asked if every person that worked would get the 180, and was told no. That the 180 would be splits by whoever had worked that store that day. Now how does that seem fair? And the benefits was only health vision and dental and not even full coverage. I was then belittled because I didn't have a college degree (not even caring to ask why I wasn't able to finish it) but then was told that I was not qualified for this position because some people have more experience and education related work. I am thinking if you want experience don't put it as an entry level job then! I was told that if I didn't hear from them by 12 on Monday that I was not offered the next interview. I walked out of that store feeling so embarrassed and angry as to being told that I was pretty much worthless and replaceable. So long story short: this company was trying to get me to do sales for 7.25/hour and call it a management position and said I would be do events. To them events was a kiosk inside sams club or Costco up to 60 miles away from Indianapolis. Yeah, right. I'm not working 40 hours a week to do sales (after being promised it wasn't a sales position) for 300/week. Plus the lovely "18%" commission which isn't true. It's an 18% commission for even shift, and you split it with everyone that worked at that location. Saying you would be an executive by 6-9months. Something that usually takes 3-5 years for most companies. Yeah, so I would recommend staying away from any Momentum Marketing companies like this one.

I'll start by saying I applied for the "Event Coordinator" position. I walked in the the office at the pyramids and the lady had me fill out an application which was just a piece of paper typed up on word. They didn't ask for no references or anything. I sat down with her and she started to tell me how they were hiring for an Executive Manager, which was not what I applied for. Then she proceeded to tell me how much I would make in a year while writing it down on the back of my perfect resume. Also, the job she was describing just sounded like a brand ambassador. Not sure if she knew that my resume and experience were real but it seemed like she thought I was young and dumb. Maybe the thought writing down how much she said I would make would convince me to accept the job. I was offered to come back for a second interview an hour away from where I lived to meet with another lady at a Sam's Club and basically shadow her.
