Review of Apex Management Group

Unfortunately, I have decided not to move forward ...

Unfortunately, I have decided not to move forward with my application for employment here. Here are some positives:

The management staff are young, excited and enthusiastic.
The office is clean and neat.
Josh is EXCELLENT!

Here s why I am saying NO to working here.

1. During the phone interview, I asked the recruiter if this was a job that is paid by commission plus base. Her response was not very transparent. She referred me to the upcoming interview for that answer.

2. When I arrived, I had to complete a paper application. This is pretty indicative that this company will pretty much hire anyone who says yes to an interview.

3. While I was waiting for Josh to finish another interview, I heard the receptionist calling other people giving them the same verbiage she gave me. They are literally just calling all the applicants and offering an interview. It doesn t matter what s on your resume.

4. During my interview with Josh, I felt as if he was selling me on the role. I didn t have to sell myself. Josh dumped tons of information on me about the role instead of the receptionist who called me for an interview. My question is: why not put what the job is in the job posting on the web? I had to go to an interview to find out. What s worse is, Josh explained that in the next interview, he would go into more depth about the job, the pay structure, etc. I felt as if Josh was holding information about the job from me. Reserving it for another interview.

5. From what I gather, they want you to believe you can transition into a management role which leads, coaches and develops people. That after 2-8 weeks of training (training pay is only 2 weeks) (training consist of selling Verizon Fios), you will be considered for an Account Manager position and finally a Manager, which handles payroll and other HR functions.

Josh explained the company as if it is an actual marketing firm, which is hired by other companies to infiltrate sales teams, coach and develop them, and make sales results go up. But what I can CLEARLY see is that this company is simply a third party vendor for Verizon Fios. You aren t a manger in training, you re a sales rep. They talk about giving you a team of 2-6 people to manage but that s if you stay a full 5-10 months and achieve management status. Seems like MLM to me.

I don t recommend this job to people trying to get a job which helps them pay their bills or get ahead in life. Also, be careful in reading these other reviews on Google. Sometimes employers instruct their employees to write good reviews on purpose in order to beef up the overall review score.

I do recommend this job if you don t care about anything else. You just need a job. I m not in that boat. I need a steady, garunteed Income worthy of my time doing the work, and the experience I bring to the table. If we can t talk about the pay structure during first contact, (not the amount of pay, but the pay structure), then I already know the deal.

I m pretty upset I went to this interview. I took time off a real job to go. Now I am out a couple of hours of pay. Not good. Don t do it. #applierbeware
