WSI - need help in researching company

I'm a little suspicious about the company. I've been in for an interview, for a sales position, but I often subscribe to the saying "anything that's too good to be true, usually is". Their website is pretty comprehensive, however, I still get a bit of a pyramid scheme/snakeoil feel to the whole organization.

Maybe it was just the people that I dealt with, but I'm in for another interview tomorrow, and I just wanted to get a sense of people's opinions of the organization if anyone has dealt with them before.

I might be mistaken, but wasn't this one of the things that that trolly chick was on about before she got b&d twice? I forget her name? White Fairy or something?

I went for an interview too...i think it was for a "media buyer" position. all i remember was that the chick that interviewed me was pretty hot...she had a see-thru blouse on with black bra underneath...but she was kinda intimidating tho. they had like a whole lineup of people waiting for interviews, and each interview took less than 10 minutes! seems kinda fishy. i never went back for the second interview...or wait...i dont think they called me back:D

It wasn't clear what they sell on the website, that's usually a sure sign for pyramid schemes.



ps. that lilangel thread is funny.

You should have seen the offices. As mentionned interviews with the same person every ten minutes. The offices themselves had nothing on the walls, and only had spartan furnishings (ie. two chairs in front of a desk). Signs outside of the office were tacked on, but they explained to me that they had just moved in.

I remember seeing as well on line that they had thrown up a dozen job postings on Monster and disappeared within a couple of hours. At least I think it was them.

Regardless, I'm not going to waste my time with these fuckers. They seem way too eager to get me back into the place.

From the diatribe H2Whoa posted, it sounds like an amway for business instead of consumers, marketing some magical internet solution that will supposedly double a company's profit margin without any kind of real substance

Glorified spammers...preaching the wonderous nature of the internet without any real competance to capitalize on it

Seems as though they just make their money out of proliferating the company outwards (through franchises) or by suckering businesses into thinking that they'll actually provide viable solutions

Remember that in order for a franchise to startup, money has to be kicked back to the parent company in order to get the rights to the company name and the wonderous secrets the parent company holds
