This is a scam. Wasted my time going to 2 bogus interviews. Flatly put, this is multi-level marketing. The positions you think you're applying for aren't real positions. "Client Coordinator" means "door-to-door" salesperson. Direct Energy should let go of their ties to this company. It's unethical and looks really bad. A good company culture doesn't entail lying to applicants.

They give you a "first" interview just to see if you are able to speak and communicate...not well, just able to talk. They don't answer questions. I specifically asked Kaelyn, the secretary and "HR Manager" if it was door to door, and she assured me no, I would be doing HR, hiring, and training stuff. Then when I asked Brian in person, he said everyone starts off as a sales person and then moves up. So it's sales on sales on sales. Kaelyn probably has to reassure people that it isn't knowing what the job really is. (She actually seems like a really nice person and should totally get out of this circus! Kaelyn, if you're out there know that there's no real mobility in this thing...see the bigger picture!) The second interview, they send you off on calls with a current "Client Coordinator". And all the reviews are true, the coordinators don't get anything for travel! They told me that it's tax deductible *remember, you get it in the form of an annual tax return so the taxpayers who pay, NOT WM&C* and when 90% of your day is spent traveling, that's just wrong. When I heard we were going to Delaware, I asked to get out of the car, and I happened to have carpooled with my sibling, so the Coordinator dropped me off.

After this, I got a call from Brian. I explained that I was looking for internal HR work as I applied for, and he said that he had "no idea!" that that is the work I was looking for even though I asked him about it hours before. He wanted to see me in an "internal role". Rather than entertaining that I told them I wasn't interested in a business culture that was misleading.

The people who work under Brian are actually pretty nice, and it's a shame that they're being integrated in a system that doesn't really work for them. In some ways I wish I went to the rest of the "interview" so I can share more of how it works with new applicants...it really is a shame. There seem to be some decent people there...please find new, reputable work and get out of something so short-sighted and unsustainable. Interested to see how WM&C can operate without the IRS on their back about the deductions. Hm.
