Lux Management Group interview questions

Very brief initial round interview with basic questions about your résumé. Second round interview much more informative with entire layout of the actual company structure and job responsibilities. If they enjoyed speaking to you in the second round you were required to fill out a questionnaire basically quizzing you on what the second round material covered. If they like your answers they will bring you back for a third round which is about as brief as the first interview. They ask broad questions about your goals and why you think you would be a good fit at Lux Mgmt. Overall, I would stay far away from Lux Mgmt. They have tons of postings on job sites seeking all different business-oriented job types (marketing, social media, sales, finance, etc.) but there is really only one job they employ. It is a 100% commission-based door-to-door sales position knocking on the doors of homeowners trying to sell them home heating gas systems. They don't even mention this tidbit until the second round interview. Additionally, the structure is very pyramid-like and the upper management of each city office gets a percentage cut of all the sales made by the lower level employees. Can't be for certain that the do anything illegal but it definitely did not seem like a great place to start out as an entry level candidate or at any level for that matter. P.S. Lux Mgmt seemed to be in multiple cities throughout the U.S. so this probably is the case all over and not just in Baltimore.

The interview process consists of three steps. 1.) Brief sit down or phone interview giving the basics of the business. This step is more or less set up to insure that you are competent enough to effectively communicate at the work place. 2.) The second interview is a little more intensive, typically conducted by a different person. A little bit of marketing/sales knowledge is tested during this phase. A large portion of this step is dedicated to describing the clientele of Lux Management Group and the pay structure associated with the job. 3.) The third and final interview is held by Jarrod, the manager of the location. He will briefly go over topics discussed in the previous two interviews. He will then ask general questions such as "Why Lux Mgmt Group" and "Why do you think we only promote from within". As long as you can answer with fluid and logical answers you will land a job offer. Expect to fill out 1-3 short papers, basically questionnaires that will be utilized during your interviews. The lobby will be filled with other applicants often going through the same process as you. The wait times for your interview can be somewhat obnoxious. I spent roughly three hours on location only to spend about 20-25 minutes interviewing. In their defense it did seem to be a busy day, but none the less unprofessional. The interviewers and every person I talked to were extremely friendly and helpful. Each person was understanding and knowledgeable about the job. **One thing to take into consideration before interviewing** The first 6-8 months of your employment is straight commission. All income is based on your sales performance. You only are granted a salary plus commission after you reach assistant manager status.
