      "Sales Manager" Interview

      6 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Deerfield, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chicagoland Executives (Deerfield, IL) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      very very tricky - BEWARE!! looks like a bunch of fake reviews for unsuspecting candidates - brief phone interview followed by an in-person interview at what looked like a temporary office with a receptionist and the "the interviewer" who seemed like she uses the office for interviews only (not her office). The interviewer tells me if they see potential I would be invited back to "shadow the sales people" basically at a costco pitching either alternate energy companies or telecom choices.. and then I would be put into their 'manager training program'... it's a total scam the training program consists of achieving a certain number of sales over a certain amount of time- then you can "hire" people under you- to basically sit at Costco and pitch the same thing.. I hate when companies post fake reviews, promise b.s. compensation and think you are dumb enough to fall for their "pitch"... She would not admit that the whole training program was not really a training program, even when I asked.. so every "sales rep" that sells this amount becomes a manager.. she said well not everyone wants to be one... I asked if you earn more as a sales rep if you sell a ton.. she said no.. the manager earns more.. which basically told me the whole thing is a scam.. I am sure there will be some sort of reply from this fake company telling you all how wrong I am ..

      Hello and thank you for your feedback, We are always looking for new ways to improve in the market place so your review does help in a few ways but we must respond to a few harsh criticisms here that are not true to our company. Our office is not a temporary office - we broke ground in Deerfield just over a year ago, we have a minimalist vibe that reflects our team's modern and sleek character. We work with over a dozen National Accounts as a full service Marketing and Brand Management firm where we offer services in sales, customer service, brand management, brand placement, marketing, direct marketing and retail management. Depending on what division and client we are hiring for your job responsibilities will correlate. The positions we hire for are specific to the needs we have as a business. If you apply for a Sales Manager position as your review implies than you would be responsible for Sales, Customer Service and Management of said team and accounts. If you are applying for a Marketing Assistant position you be more behind the scenes helping with brand management etc. It seems far fetched to think that an interview for a specific position would go over all positions and responsibilities within the company. For our Management position that you applied for you would be cross trained into the position as no one can walk into a position and on day one know everything about our processes, procedures, client base and goals. The training we offer on the job gives you the tools and skills needed to reach your highest potential within the position. We offer competitive salaries, benefits and training to our employees based off the applicant's background and qualifications. To wrap this up, we have a great team within Chi Execs and some of them have written us great reviews - that's the point of Glassdoor after all. Nothing about them is fake - we just have a great team!
