After doing some research on Greenville Promotions, a company that sent me an email asking me to interview 'asap' for a position that was entry-level only, non-inclusive of any past experience, not based on seniority and provided paid training, I decided to do some research. Turns out, it's a bogus offer. Although there may be entry level positions available, they are for sales - door to door type, not management or marketing as was described in the email. The staff is unprofessional, the offer email was unprofessional, and their style followed a previous complaint filed on this site to the tee. The following is the exerpt of my email for others who may fall victim to this ridiculousness:
(My response is first)
Good morning Mr. Deal,
Thank you for your e-mail and offer to meet with me. After further contemplation and research into your company, I do not believe I would be a good fit. I am not nor have I been entry-level for some time, and unfortunately, some of the reviews I have read of your company and your staff's level of professionalism are not in keeping with the direction I am looking to go. I have worked very hard for the experience I do have, so a position that cares not of my experience is not indicative of a future for me. I wish you the best in the future and in the success of your company in filling all of your positions 'ASAP'.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxx
