      Marketing Consultant Interview

      Mar 24, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Pittsburgh, PA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amplify (Pittsburgh, PA) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I interviewed with them mainly because I was bored. They sell coupon packs door to door (but not houses, businesses, so you're walking into businesses during their work day to sell their employees coupon packs) - not that you'd be able to find ANY of that online because their website is a joke. The coupon packs themselves are legit. However, during the interview I was like "ok, so this is a sales job" and they kept saying "no, no, no, no it's 95% marketing 5% sales"... uhh no marketing skills are needed, sales however, that's what you need. They then invited me to do a shadowing thing the next day, where I was literally stuck in a car ALL day with a kid in Wexford going door to door to businesses selling coupon packs for a spa. I couldn't leave because if I made him drive me back he'd lose his commissions, so they guilt trip you into staying. He broke down the pyramid structure of the "company" during our awesome fun lunch break... at Subway... Basically, you get commission for everything you sell, so does the person above you and above them and so on and so forth. It's 100% commissions. And you file as an independent contractor so holllaaa for paying ALL of your taxes at once (even tho you get to write a decent amount off thanks to the insane amount of miles you end up driving). You don't even start thinking about maybe getting benefits until 9-10 months in, and even then, they really don't kick in till about 2 years of riding the pyramid to the top. So yea, that's them in a nutshell.
