About a year ago i moved to california and was searching for jobs. I came across advantage sales & marketing and sent my resume. About half an hour later i received a call from a receptionist setting up an interview. The next day i went to the location. I was there a little early to make sure i found it, and it was clearly marked in a small business complex "advantage sales & marketing" with a black awning. I went in to find a very simplistic office with minimul artwork, a simple sofa, and a small reception desk. In the back was a room with what looked like kindergarden photos and a "gong" with inspirational quotes and pyramid-scheme type sayings. To the left of the small lobby was another room with a simple desk, and yet again no artwork.
The office itself sent off a red flag. It looked as if it had been rented for a cheap office movie set. I was asked to sign in on a simple piece of notebook paper. A few minutes later the room filled up with about 10-12 other females with the same confused expression i had myself. After a few minutes the "boss" started calling us into the side room to meet with himself and one other woman who was rude and sarcastic. Neither of the two could give a definitive description of what the job entailed, and when i asked questions i was told the details would be finalized if i wanted the job. Not once was i asked for my resume. I started getting skeptical and politely said that the position was not for me.
A month later, they are no longer there and the address is no longer able to be searched. The same description is still on craigslist, but this time with a different phone number and new physical address.
I hope nobody wastes their time like i did. Be careful of scams and scums like these people.
