PURE - Vizion - 3w Marketing A PURE waste of time King Of Prussia Pennsylvania
I recently graduated college and of course the job hunt was on. I was looking forward to becoming independent, getting a job, and becoming a productive member of society.
So, of course, I was excited to get a call back from a local job called PURE sports marketing the day after I applied. My dreams were all coming true so fast!
I went online to research my potential employer like I was taught and to my surprise ... there were all of these scam websites! I printed out a few of the blogs bashing PURE with a few of the good ones, to be realistic.
When I got to the interview, there were about 3 other people there in my scheduled time slot and there was a paper sign on the door indicating where the office was.
The office looked nice enough and the receptionists were friendly ... but there were calling people like I was called and were playing with their cell phones while doing it! My resume was not looked at beforehand, I was just called off a list!
My interview lasted 5 SECONDS if that and, unfortunately, the blogs were true. I must have said some wrong answers because I did not get a call back for the door-to-door sales day that came next. I guess I saved myself some gas money.

Sports Marketing International (SMI and Associates) in Lombard is a part of this, too.
#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Fri, September 26, 2008
For those of you in the Chicagoland area, the Lombard branch is called Sports Marketing International or SMI and Associates. They will tell you they have "big wig" clients like the White Sox. This is NOT marketing. It is door-to-door dishonest soliciting. Dishonest to consumers and dishonest to their employees. Please do not fall for their schemes! Sports Marketing International (SMI and Associates), and the like, prey on young, naive college graduates, servers, athletes. Sports Marketing International doesn't do a stitch of marketing consulting work for any sports teams (or any other place for that matter). This is straight up dishonest sales. If you are still working at SMI and Associates, I beg you to get out now! Oh, and as an independant contractor (as that is how Sports Marketing International will "hire" you) you ARE required to file your sales on your taxes. The "manager" at this place (Greg) is encouraging employees at SMI and Associates to participate in illegal activities, such as soliciting in governmentally protected non-soliciting areas, and not file taxes. He is putting you in very illegal situations and manipulating you! It is NOT normal to work long 10 hour days and no even be on the company's payroll. You are NOT your own manager (as the company tries to make you think you are), you have a sly, manipulative, fast-talking boss standing over your shoulder telling you you can't leave until you have sold all of your items! Please, I beg you to NOT apply to this company, or anything affiliated with Doug Ascher, SmartCircle, SMI and Associates, or Sports Marketing International.
