Interviewed for this place a few months ago. Couldn’t quite put a finger on it then but I knew something was up. The “mandatory team bonding activities” on Saturday. The six day a week workweek. The almost laughable salary. In fact, Edward Pei was the guy who interviewed me. Couldn’t have been more condescending if he tried. Showed us a dog he asked if we had an issue with bringing into the office (now I know that’s a straight up manipulation tactic to let people’s guards down. Plus turns out from the other thread, the dog isn’t even his).
It all seemed super strange but I desperately needed a job. I ended up rejecting their offer and was immediately hung up on, no “we wish you luck” or anything like that (not that I’m the type of person who wants that kind of thing, I’m glad they showed their true colors even for a brief moment). Nothing registered in my mind that “this is clearly an MLM bullshit door to door exploitation job” but I’m glad my suspicions were confirmed.
Roundabout Marketing (Filo Associates) and companies that take advantage of desperate people need to be exposed. Thank you OP! This deserves way more attention.
