Complaint Review: Community - MDG = Tag Promotions

I'm a 10-year advertising veteran who ran into this group late 2007. Much was told on the initial interview about the company and its clients. The gist of it being that it was an advertising marketing position, and once chosen, will make calls on established fortune 500 clients. A phone call the next week advised me to wear "business" attire the next day for a 2nd interview. Reporting early morning, the owner said I was "riding shotgun" with their top advertising company rep. to "learn the ropes". We were to go to Walmart's Naples, and I went along thinking Walmart was a client. Well, not only did I not ride with this unkempt-looking man because he already had a so-called trainee with him in a two-seater car, but I had to foot the gas to Naples. He promised to drive slow bec. I didn't know my way around Naples, instead, he drove in the speed of light. He was totally "uncouth" and "disrespectful".

At Walmart, the man unloaded all his toys for santa stuff on a table with his trainee-cohort and started peddling away. While the man tried his non-existent charms on women, his "cohort" with the plunging neckline would seductively stop men with a hand gesture and explain the so-called toys for santa charity giveaway, while I just watched in dismay and utter disbelief. For 6 to 7 hours this extremely "unprofessional" behavior went on.

So people listen up. Do not buy/give to these charities through these origanizations because only 5% of proceeds ever reaches them. These people lie! And please, do not respond to their job advertisements. Their tactics are vile, deceiving, and very "demeaning" with the job vacancies as just means to an end --TO GET CHEAP OR FREE LABOR UNDER THE GUISE OF "TRAINING". If you are educated and a true professional, the company will prostitute your abilities in the worst way possible.
