Interview
Awful. They are trying to sell you on the position because they know they’re running a scam. Extremely evasive when you ask questions about the commission only salary. The job description is a lie and no matter what you applied for they are pitching you a sales job.

Interview
This was a while ago now but from time to time I find myself thinking back to just how 'off' this whole process seemed to me. My application and the subsequent selection process for this role took place over a couple of days. The role description was very vaguely-defined on totaljobs but whatever, I was a grad looking for a job and wasn't too picky. I applied and a day or so later got a call from their Recruitment Manager, who seemed friendly enough, but the way they spoke made out like the role was more sales than marketing. I was invited to interview in person and so went into the office the next day.
Once I reached the office, there were around 15 other people around my age sat in the waiting area, all filling out the same questionnaire I had been given. Some other people on here have mentioned lengthy waits for interview, but mine came around hilariously fast. My interview was scheduled for 5pm. I arrived at around 4.50pm. I went into my 'interview' and, after what I can only describe as being verbally sandblasted by the interviewer, found myself leaving the building at bang on 5. But the interview itself:
Once seated in his office, the interviewer proceeded to regale me with the entire 10+ year history of the company, namedropping large brands too quickly for me to be able to actually process what he was saying and talking about the possibility of working abroad. At the start of the application process I thought I was applying to work in marketing. Then it was sales. Then in the 'interview' he was going on about being a Project Manager in Miami. The whole thing seemed seedy, confused and completely fake.
I left the interview at the time it was actually scheduled to start, having been asked no meaningful questions about my experience or qualifications and being none-the-wiser about what the actual role would be. When I got home an hour or so later, I had a call from the manager telling me I'd "gotten through" to the next round and that it was "really competitive", despite my having had virtually no involvement in any of the interview. He then asked me if I could "come on site" on Friday. I couldn't. Saturday? No, sorry. Monday?
No.

Interview
First i had a phone interview with Rachel i think it was? she was very positive and friendly, the only positive thing i could take from this company. when i got to their office in Leeds there was already 20 other people sitting down waiting and i had to wait over 40 Minutes before the hiring manager came in and greeted me to come to this office. Had a 5 Minute chat, very brief, explained what the company was about, never got the chance to ask any questions and i was told i would get a phone call
Was called in 2 days and told to come to spend a day with some sales assistant, had to travel to some shopping center, where i watched the sales assistant trying to sign people onto some credit card scheme, it was a really pointless day as i had to write a long essay for Hours in the cold and watch the team leaders from far away,
If you're looking for a job where you just stand outside a shopping center trying to sign on customers onto some debit card scheme, this job is for you, they false advertise and it's a total scam and a waste of time, i would totally never apply for any jobs to do with this company, worst experience in my whole career from this company, you'll regret going ahead with this company.
