I applied online. I interviewed at Universal Events (Pleasanton, CA)
Interview
After I did some research on the company and discovered they're just like Bay Inc. and other "Marketing Events" companies, I decided not to even go to the interview.
Even though they advertise positions as "Marketing", that in itself is a marketing strategy because they are purely commission-based. Commission means Sales; Sales and Marketing are not the same.
So although I cannot confirm that the position was a lie, it surely felt misleading when the job description said 1 thing and the fact that it's commission-based said another.
The only positive thing I can say is that the girl that called was very nice and sounded very sweet and sincere. She was nice enough to be completely honest with me when I called back (after doing my research) to ask if it was commission-based. She saved me time, gas, and the upset feeling of being misled and having my time wasted; so I appreciate her a lot for that.

It's a complete scam. They call you into an interview at a location that doesn't have their name written any where. For a company that claims to have been at their location for years, seems like a sign would be the first thing they do. Don't waste your time
