I had the opportunity to go through 3 interviews with this company. They do seem very friendly and it appears that they may have a good work culture. However, from the other reviews I read online and from even asking questions during my interviews, they will not tell you directly that the job will be door to door sales. It felt as if they were a bit deceitful, presenting the job in a way that does not directly clarify that you will be doing door to door sales. It appears that this has also been experienced by others when reading the reviews.
Also, I indicated that I was not interested in the job in my third interview because it does not fit exactly what I m looking for, but the company still called me back after the interview to let me know I had not received the job, which was confusing since I had previously stated that this is not a job that will work for the season of life I m in. This may be a good job for you if you intend to dedicate a lot of time to it, while also being willing to do door to door sales. Ask questions during the interviews to clarify what the day to day will look like to go in with an understanding of what the job entails.
Edit - added after receiving a comment from Northwestern Marketing Concepts:
Thank you for your feedback. However, after asking questions about door to door sales towards the end of my 2nd interview since this was never mentioned during the interview, I was told specifically by my interviewer that in the afternoons, if I did work with your company, that we would be going door to door using information given by companies working with Northwestern Marketing Concepts to try to sell people specific services for specific companies working with NMC. I understand that NMC may not call it door to door sales, but it still feels a bit deceptive to not be upfront with this aspect of the job. This company appears that they would possibly provide much professional growth, but even as seen in their response to my review, they might not be upfront that one aspect of the job will be going door to door.
A previous employee of NMC left a positive Google review a year ago and shared many positive aspects of working for this company. However, she also stated this, Many would qualify this position as Door to door salesman , the but the difference at this company being that you knock with more information on hand about the client than just showing up randomly. This company honestly appears to have many positive aspects, but even as seen in this comment from a previous employee s Google review, from other reviews I ve read, NMC s denial of this being an aspect of the job in their comment to my review, and also through asking questions during the interview since this was never mentioned, going door to door does appear to be an aspect of this job that NMC is not being completely upfront about.
