Complaint Review: Terra Wholesale Paradigm Who-Knows-"Marketing" - San Leandro California

Beware of "Entry-Level Marketing" positions that require "No Experience," but promise that you will be working with "Fourtune 500" companies, or high-profile accounts like professional sports teams-- No multi-million dollar account is going to be seviced by someone with "no experience necessary"-- think about it.

How to spot these scams:

1) there is no real website for you get any specific data (compare the following: www.homedepot.com/careers

www.terrawholesaleinc.com/

--Real companies offering real jobs will have real information about those jobs

2) when you call the company, the receptionist answers with a different company name

3) the company represents Fourtune500 companies, etc. but is located in some tiny back-office in the cuts

4) the initial phone call to "screen you" only asks a couple of broad qualifying questions about yourself, i.e. "Are you looking for full-time work?"

5) the "Initial Interview" sound more like a sales pitch than an interview-- telling you all about the "great opportunity"

6) they ask you for a second interview and tell you that it will be a "8-9hour" interview to "see your sales skills," but since it's an "interview" it will be unpaid

7)they ask you to sign anything that gives up any of your rights as a worker--i.e. to collect pay for a day's work...

I hope none of you fall for this, as I'm certain that, if you get the job, there would only be more screwing to come--and not the kind you'll like.

**Copy of follow-up/resoponse e-mail from me to Terra Wholesale (after being asked to return for an unpaid 9-hour interview):

""That was a total scam-- I can't believe you b*****s are actually getting people to fall for that "9-hour 2nd Interview" bull****.

I've been working as Management long enough to know that any interview, first, second, whatever, should take no longer than an hour--TOPS. In fact, I new your little b***h was full of s**t within seconds of her opening her mouth.

On top of that, you're not even going to *pay* these guys. The scam is obvious-- get a team of people together and cart them off somewhere to watch them "interview," --i.e. compete-- for a sales position at no cost to you, peddling your bullshit for 9 hours. Do you let them take breaks, or do you also make them piss and s*** and starve themselves, too? It wouldn't suprise me.

I hope you sleep well at night,

Tell all of your Piece-of-S*** "Managers" that they can be found on www.ripoffreport.com, as I will be posting this scam there, where it will be viewable during searches with your company names (plural) whenever anyone tries to look you pricks up.

GO F*** YOURSELVES!!!
