Complaint Review: O.W.O. - World Perfume - "BILLY NOLAN"

Ok, they almost got me. I had a similar experience...

As I was pulling up I recognized the building immediately. At a previous job, I did a lot of errands and I can assure you, this company was not here before.

As I walked in I recognized the logo immediately. The same company had been established in Phoenix a few years back. I remembered that I came in for an office manager position and was then told I had to sell fake perfume before I could be a manager because How could I manage others if I didn't understand what they were doing day to day?"

But back to the present.
When I walked in and was seated,  was lead to a back room to fill out a "Get to Know You" form. On the walls were maps and EVERYWHERE were these boxes of perfumes.  My ninja senses kicked in and immediately I assumed this was a scam, but I didn't leave on the chance I might be wrong. Then they put on Anchor Man in the waiting room. Really? Anchor Man? That's professional. It was pretty funny watching the old lady next to me squirm as Will Ferrill explained how and why he named his package.

Anyhoo, same thing, they want office people because they've "doubled in size" and "desperately need to fill office positions". NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF SALES.

After the 5 minute interview I was rushed out the door with instructions to call later that day and speak to "Billy".

As soon as I stepped outside I actually said aloud to myself "What the hell just happened?" I thought maybe I had woken up in the Twilight Zone or was being Punked. To add to the strangeness, as I was puling out I actually saw some guy in his car propositioning a hooker right outside the building! I laughed SO hard.

When I got home I went through some of my other job leads for office positions and called one on my list. Guess who it was? OWO. Different number, different person. Interesting. I scheduled a second interview against my better judgment and confirmed it was for the next day at 9:45am. When I show up for said interview, the "receptionist" said "Oh, no we meant Thursday".

That was about it for me. Today is Thursday and to double check that I wasn't just being paranoid, I decided to research the company. Glad I did.



Here's what you need to know, Billy:
Had you advertised the position for what it was, SALES, this wouldn't be an issue. But when you advertise an office position with Free Beer and then are dishonest in the beginning, only to reveal the truth about what you are actually hiring for in the SECOND interview, that constituted fraud.

There are federal laws against it, and I'm going to make sure the right people find out about it.



PS:
You owe me $20 for gas, a**hole.
