Pros
No direct pros. Only experienced interview process.
Cons
My experience with Performance Xchange Group was less than desirable. While the secretary, and some employees made me feel extremely welcome, their communication was very poor. I interviewed at their King St office to chat about what my goals were and where I see myself as a young business professional. I was very specific, explained my background, and what I saw for myself in a position. The interviewer explained that she could envision me in one of their "account executive" roles, being an ambassador for one of their clients, (none listed on their website or facebook page). I learned quickly in the second interview that the roles did not entail close to what an account executive would do. I was told to wear something comfortable for my second interview, so I threw on what I know to be a "comfortable business casual" outfit, which included small wedge heels. Little did I know, I was introduced to a team of 18-20 year olds who's mission for the day was to take a bus down to College St and go door to door asking for donations for Cam-H hospital. This was not communicated to me. The "executives" were dressed in sneakers, jeans, and had backpacks on, looking like desperate college students sucked in to a pyramid scheme. They were brainwashed into thinking that this is a smart business tactic, and will only provide great outlook on their clients from consumers. I shadowed one of their employees going door to door. Her approach to the guest was inappropriate and scripted. She had a fake smile on her face and once asked a woman at her door, "what is your beautiful name ma'am?" Which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. I ended up leaving a few hours early due to the fact that I had been walking around downtown in heels for 3 hours. Not once was it communicated to me that I would have to beg for donations door to door in the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday.
