GQ Imports Ripoff Deceptive info in job posting Addison Illinois
My experience with this Co. is very similar to what I have read in other ripoff reports.
When I arrived for my interview, I walked into a very sparsley furnished office, filled with other interviewies. There was R&B music blaring from a small stereo (very distracting) and a young lady who looked to be around 19 years old behind the desk.
The atmosphere in the office was like some big cattle call audition, not what I was expecting. After waiting around for about a forty minutes, I was called in for my interview.
I met with a very fast talking gentlemen named Kevin. His first question was "how much do you want to earn". I gave him a figure that would be much higher than your typical entry level job would pay, but it didn't seem to phase him.
He then went into a description of what GQ Imports dose, but he was talking so fast that I could only understand about half of what he was saying.
His next question was "on a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like working with and meeting new people". I told him 9.
His last question was "do you consider yourself a leader or a follower?" After I gave my answer, he thanked me for coming in and said someone from the company would be calling me around 5 pm. to arrange a second interview / orientation session that would last the entire day.
What I really wanted was a job in the warehouse packaging and distributing product. He said they had openings like that, but he was somewhat evasive. He said all my questions would be answered during my orientation.
I now realise that this company is basically a high presure sales sweatshop. All the signs are there. The hastily set up office, the blaring music to keep you distacted, the fast talking, evasive attitude, the cattle call interview process.
If this company dose call me back, I wont be taking the job.

You are right to be suspicious of this FRAUDULENT company. The owner, a sleazy p***k from New York will try to 'woo' you with him being like 26 or whatever he is now and being the owner of his own business.
He uses you to go business to business selling his cheap crap that he has you tell people is from 'companies such as' disney or sharper image
They give you false promises of opening your own location but it doesnt happen.... maybe 2 people will ever really do it.... and thats a big MAYBE.
The 2nd interview is following two people around all day so they can observe you and see if you'll actually buy into this scam.... because believe me, they have!
They keep you there from 6:45 am till 7 pm so you cant ever have time to find a new job.... just TRY to tell them you need to leave early or need a day off..... they'll guilt the CRAP out of you so you will come in anyway..
I totalled my car and they guilted me to still come in....
beware!
