The Capital Group, Inc. (Bethesda, MD) was ARC Internation Concepts (Falls Church, VA). Before that they were CRC Advertising. They change names and locations very often. Most of these companies do. If you put in a resume, and receive a call back for an interview within 48 hours be wary that it is one of these companies. In addition, if you searched for this or another company that advertises "ENTRY LEVEL - WILL TRAIN", etc., they may give you a false point of contact. For example The Capital Group, Inc. asks that you contact Donna Sumner. The phone number is correct, but most likely the receptionist will tell you Donna is "Not in" or "Unavailable", etc. Truth be told, there is only one receptionist and his/her name is never the point of contact on these online classified ads. Just wanted to let jobseekers know what to look for BEFORE you get invested in the interview process!

The people that choose to do it are naive and they are taken advantage of.Something needs to be done to assist people from working with these idiots.Like you said what goes around comes around.Chris is an idiot and I hope he gets what he deserves because such an operation is totally unacceptable.

Things may not change and I completely understand that... I understand what they do and how they do it now. If that's the way they want to conduct business, then so be it. People seem to want to do it, so let them. If they want to walk door to door, well, that's their choice. As far as their business ethics goes, what goes around comes around. It's not really worth my time to worry about them anymore...

Brian- As a former employee (independent distributor) of CRC, I can assure you that the manager, Chris Colaluca will NOT be more clear with future interviewees. He has been doing this for many many years, do you really think this is the first time he has received this complaint? They are intentionally misleading in first round interviews so that people will return. He only contacted you so that you would change your report and I am sure he had a good laugh about it afterwards because I've seen the same situation occur many times.

This is to add to my previous report. I would like to say that I was in contact with the manager of my area of CRC Advertising. While I made this report in the heat of the moment, I do regret some of the words I did say. While I do not agree with the way everything is handled, I did talk to the manager and we worked out our differences in this matter. He did tell me that he would be more clear with future employees with the nature of this business. He said that he did not want me to be bitter about the whole situation. He also said that if I misunderstood the whole situation, then other people probably did too. That is not what he wants. So, that been said, I am happy with the outcome of the whole situation. I was assured by him that he'd be more clear in the first round interviews of the full nature (Door to Door Sales) of his business. In my opinion, if this is done, (Or was done in the first place) I would be much happier. To the manager: Thank you for contacting me and letting us work out our differences. Thank you for the offer to take me to lunch, but I respectfully decline at this time. I appreciate your concern and you listening to me.
