Interviewed Apr 2012 in Fresno, CA (took a day)
Job was represented online as a Director position, but is actually a simple sales / presentation position. Salary was described as $60,000, which was untrue. Actual job was commission-only. Very old-school capture, present and offer high dollar limited time deal. Felt like slimy used car sales operation. I would not recommend to anyone over 25 years of age.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Commission only after described online as $60k salary. For any company to expect professional sales people to work for free is unbelievable. Everyone else in the building gets paid to show up. Sales people get paid only for result, yet have no control over the qualification process, the product, the price, nor the closing. Ridiculously outdated system - my guess is these guys fail within the next 2-3 years. Bay area stores already closed. This system and company has numerous sketch reviews online by people who attended their presentations. I just don't see the model working well.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
The interview consisted of sitting with a group of other applicants and reading the script for the outbound cold calls. You had to be comfortable reading the script and role-playing with one of the interviewers (there were 2) through the call right there in the room in front of everyone else. It seemed as though anyone that could read clearly and stay coherent through the script was hired.

Negotiation Details
There were no negotiations. The salary is $8.00/hr. with a $2.00/hr. bonus as long as you are on time and present every day of the pay period (2 per month). The commissions come in the form of memberships signed as a result of your booking appointments for prospects to come in for a tour/presentation.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I applied online for a position. A few day later I received a phone call from HR. It was a pretty quick phone interview. They asked me about my past experience, my availability etc. Then we scheduled an interview for the next Monday with a manager. We went through my past experience, we had a pleasant discussion. After that, I received a call and they offered me the job.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Chattanooga, TN (took 2 days)
The first interview was a brief phone interview and a set up for a second interview. When I went to the second interview there were a couple other people there too. They explained to the group about the company, what the position was and what we'd be doing, the pay and hours, etc. After that they interviewed us individually. A day or two later I was offered the job and began training with two other girls. The three of us trained for a few days and then each of us was pulled to aside individually by the manager. I was told that there were only two positions and I had got one. After being there a couple of years i noticed they did that every group they hired. They hire more than they need and weed out those not right for job.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
The interview was very casual and started on the first phone call. I then was scheduled to attend an open house to understand the company. I met with the store owner after the open house. He was very busy and he didn't have very much time to talk to me
