Bait and Switch.

The mortgage loan industry is bit of a roller coaster ride for the new people so I went on a job interview today. 

I set up the appointment a few days ago, the ad was pretty vague about the position but the hours seemed good.  I asked the receptionist what positions were being interviewed for.  She said that they are doing interviews for all positions, from sales to management.  Score, my background is management and I know how to motivate salespeople so let's do this.

It's an hour away.  I get there and it's a big office with only the receptionist there.  Hmmm.  I ask for the lady I was told to interview with and she is no longer with the company.  She quit yesterday (no notice given) because she wanted more money, but she might come back.  This is what the receptionist told me before she even gave me an application.  Hmmm.

The receptionist gives me the interview and she tells me that the training is two days.  Hmmm.  On my application I put down that the job I was interviewing for was a management position, this needs some clarification.  I tell her the receptionist I spoke to earlier said that you were hiring for all positions including management.  Oh no, they just say that.  Hmmm.  It's possible that I could work up to management but everyone starts off doing door to door sales.  Hmmm, and we're done.

Straight commission, I was lied to in the beginning, and the company seems a bit unprofessional.  Thank you, but no.
