In response to the MANY other "victims" stories out there, I completely understand where you're coming from. I applied to Capital Advertising through an ad in the Washington Post back in 2004. Everything in the ad sounded great. It listed everything that I was interested in, marketing, sales, fortune 500 companies. Boy was I wrong! On my second interview, the "Leader" that I was assigned to fed me her sales pitch BS during the half our car ride to a neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia. Of course, she never said anything about door-to-door sales, or the fact that we would be out in "the field" for eight hours in the scortchering heat of the summer. What we ended up doing that day was going door-to-door trying to get people to "scratch and win" for these stupid coupon books that were supposidly to bennefit DARE. The catch was, when people scratched the lottery type cards to reveal how much they had to pay, they didn't realize that they might end up paying $20+. I just stood there with my "Leader" feeling terrible about taking these people's money! Trust me, and everyone else on this website if you are thinking of working for these scammers. Don't do it! Luckily, I got out after the second interview, but I feel terrible for the others that invested so much of their time and money into these money hungry jerks! Hopefully one day there will be an end to this!
