Hello, Thanks for the information on the company matching the address given. I have searched the entire Internet for info on a company by the name of: Universal, Inc. Worldwide Advertising for Sports and Entertainment 4651 Sheridan St. Hollywood, FL 33021 Phone: 954-602-9740 Contact persons: Ashley and Charlotte I applied for a job posted by them on careerbuilder.com and was contacted the very same day via e-mail to set up an interview. I called them this morning to get more information such as an interview appointment and I was told to come in this very day anytime between 1pm and 7pm...this sounded a bit fishy so asked for more specifics on what the job title is (since the post on careerbuilder was so vague). The woman I spoke to was quite cold and impolite; she told me the positions include marketing, customer service, public relations and managerial jobs...still very vague and mentioned nothing about sales which I was weary about. Still, I was suspicious because I was also told that interviews had been going on all week (how many people did they want to hire??) So low and behold I looked up the address of this place and thank god, someone posted a warning. Be especially aware of the number of names this company goes by....most of them are listed having job openings on careerbuilder.com. Sales companies suck!!!

These people go by various names. I recently found a job posting on monster.com under the company name "STL Concepts" & thought it was pretty cool due to the whole NBA/NFL thing. I applied & got an interview for the following week. (Mind you, I googled them but nothing came up. Just their info & the little google maps link with their address). So I put on a nice suit & show up to this place. Ok looking building inside & out. I climb on the elevator & arrive at their office. I'm walking down the hall & I hear loud music. Then, I open the office door & notice that the music was coming from inside! (If you know people are coming over for an interview, wouldn't you want to give them a good impression of your company? The girls had on really loud rap music!). As soon as I entered, the place looked kind of weird. I mean this tiny office with lots of stains on their carpeted floor. My first impression was just "Ewww. Why would I want to work in a dirty looking place?" There were like 5 people waiting to be interviewed. There were two girls sitting at desks (they were like customer service reps). My appointment was at a specific time & I was called in about 45 minutes later. To start off, the woman was nice, but as she began to ask me questions, each time I would answer she would mock me. Totally rude & unprofessional! It's not like I have an accent that she can make fun of me for. & besides, who would want to work for someone who makes fun of them? Then again it is different if you have known the person for a while & you just joke around with each other. Anyway, after what was like a 3 minute interview, I was told that I would be notified in a few days for another "interview". There, I would be put to work for 4 hours or so to see if I was fit for the position or not. The funny part is, that today I was on monster.com looking for more job openings & I came across this other job ad. It said basically everything that I had seen on the STL Concepts posting, but the company name was now Media Direct. All the way at the bottom of the Media Direct posting, it even says "For jobs in Miami contact ----person", who is the contact person on the STL posting!!! That's when I knew something was fishy & these two companies were definately related. I googled Media Direct & tadaaaa! This website came up! I'm so glad I found this before they called & asked me to go to the second interview! I know I'm definately NOT going back there!!!

Hi, I was recently contacted by this Top Flight Marketing Company and am so greatful for sites like these. I looked it up before the scheduled "interview" I'm supposed to attend tomorrow. I've already attended a pyramid cult-like job orientation for selling mutual funds. I am not sitting through one of those ordeals again. Does anyone have any suggestions for avoiding these in the future? Why does it seem like all the job websites are just littered with illegitimate companies?
