I'm laughing while I write this because this whole company is an unethical mess!! I went to my first stage interview which was described as an 'informal meeting with the manager', arrived on time but was sat waiting for an hour and missed my driving lesson I had that day. However, all seemed to be going well as I was invited back for an 'observation day'. Observation day - What an experience that was! Arrived at the office at half 8, sat waiting for another hour, of course. Ended up travelling all the way to an Asda in Walsall, I was not made aware that we'd be travelling out of Birmingham, also I got told we were travelling to an 'event', not a shabby looking stall outside a supermarket. To sum up what I did on that day, I spent 4 hours sat in an Asda cafe, writing down pointless answers to strange activities in a notebook. I also had to experience intervals of standing in the freezing cold watching them get rejected by numerous people. After all of this I was told its 100% commission!? I told them I wasn't interested, explained that it was basically a scheme and that this is not marketing, its face to face sales. The current employees are brainwashed, I don't know whether I should feel sorry for them or laugh at them. I spent £25 in travel on that day and was left stranded in Walsall.

First stage interview was easy, simple questions about what motivates you and your values. Now this is where I'll tear them to shreds. Unprofessional company that sugar coat what they actually do, wasting your time and money so avoid like the plague. I was invited for a 2nd stage interview/observation day. They decided without any prior warning that they'd be driving me to Leicester in a cramped car. They took me to some ASDA, and left me in a room to write answers to some of their questions and come up with a business plan for about 2/3 hours. I asked more questions about the role when things didn't sound like how the role was described. So my interviewer finally showed me what a "marketing assistant" does and that's standing outside a supermarket with a poster trying to get customers to sign up to a different energy company. You know those people none of us can stand when we just want to get on with our shopping, so we avoid them or ignore them? Yeah.. After I said it's not for me and they were making out like It would be such a big loss and I'd be losing out, they told me I'd have to make my own way home. So I'm in a city I don't know and I'm not doing the best financially I have to spend extra money on public transport when they could've at least told me to drive to the location myself. Stay away from these "Marketing Assistants" job positions they're all the same.
