Dear Reviewer, It saddens us to read such an aggressive review, especially because it doesn't seem as if you worked for our company but instead had a second interview. I'm really sorry to hear that your experience with us wasn't a great one one. It's always my goal for people to come away with a genuinely positive impression of my company and my team. I would like to clarify a couple of things about your feedback - the first being that we do indeed offer a base pay to our team members so there are alternative options to 100% commission pay! Secondly, our client provides our firm leads which means that we are aware of the clientele we are speaking with, and their needs, prior to our consultation with them. As far as us calling and wasting people's time for interviews, we'd have to say it's quite the contrary. Our Management Training Program has been a life changing opportunity for so many. We're actively recruiting individuals who apply to our firm (and even individuals who apply to job boards online) because of their experience, the demands our Fortune 500 client places and also our plans for expansion to an additional 4 office locations this year! Since you interviewed with us, we hope that you have found somewhere you're satisfied and growing in your career! Sincerely, CEO/Benjamin Buchsbaum
