Cobalt Executives interview questions

I applied on LinkedIn and by the next day I received a call for a phone interview. The woman was very nice and just asked a few standard questions about myself. By the end of the call she asked if I could come in within the next couple days for an interview. I went into the office two days later. I was shocked to see it was only a two employee office. I was confused as to where everyone else was. In the interview I was asked about my customer service background. When I asked what a normal day was like the interviewer told me all about the wonderful meetings they have in the morning but wouldn't answer anything about the events themselves. She made it seem like this was such a wonderful job where there was so much room to grow in such a short time and that the salary would grow to 80,000 within a year. She then told me if I was selected for the next step then I would shadow someone at an event and they would call me by 4pm. I did get a call and she told me the address of the event, it was a Sam's Club. At no point in the interview did she mention that it was strictly a sales job. She was very misleading in the interview making it seem like the job was planning the event itself. I accepted to go to the interview but then she told me the address and it was all the way in Princeton, NJ- a whole 1 1/2 away. After reading other reviews telling me the same I thing I had just experienced I emailed the company to ask if this was really where they were sending me and if selling products was what I would be doing. I never got a response back. Finding a job in this market is hard enough without a company trying to scam you into something you don't want to do by promising promotions and huge pay raises. It's sad to see that on LinkedIn they are still posting various "different" open positions to try and catch people.

I was very excited when I received the call to come in for an interview. I drove about an hour to the location, the office was a little difficult to find and I was surprised that it was tiny. I had to fill out a form and bring a hard copy of my resume. Everyone I encountered was very pleasant to speak with. Once I was called to the office, the interview took less than 10 minutes. It was a 'put a face to the resume' interview. She explained very little about the company and position, she asked about my background in Marketing. The little she did explain sounded exactly like what I was already doing at my current job, therefore I was even more excited. She asked about my availability and if I was able to do a second interview that weekend. I thought it was odd that they would conduct an interview on a Sunday, but I'd be shadowing someone at their "events". I received a call later that evening about the second interview; I received the details on where and whom I'd interview with. When I arrived, I noticed another young girl leaving and I assumed it was an interview. I met with the girl that I was shadowing. She was very knowledgeable in the topics that she asked me about. She gave me statistics and details with no hesitation, which I was very impressed with. I took Marketing classes in college and didn't know those details. As I was watching her be a pushy sales person, I had to write down a couple things that I noticed she was doing to engage in conversation with people. Towards the end of the interview, I was still interested because I felt that I would quickly move up with my skills. I asked if there were any PTO or benefits, she quickly said no. Though the money sounded good, I needed to work for an established company with benefits. I have a family to raise and working 6 days a week pushing products on people was not going to cut it. I received a call for my 3rd interview and scheduled one just to see where it would lead. I thought about it and had to politely decline. Everyone seemed really nice and driven, but I need stability. The girl that conducted my second interview was only in her position for 3 months, that was a red flag. She was not able to tell me too much about her experience in the company.
