Applied for a 'Digital Marketing Assistant' role via TotalJobs. Job description was very vague and basically just asked for enthusiasm.
Received an email and text offering me an initial phone interview, which I accepted. The head of recruitment called, explained that the role would be "more face-to-face marketing" than writing, and asked some other typical interview questions. She then told me I'd been selected for a 15 minute zoom interview with the Managing Director.
He was incredibly patronising and talked down to me, especially when asking why I'd been out of work. He ran through a slideshow which showed people in cheap suits at galas, and all the "travel" and "benefits" that came with the job. Finally explained it was "events marketing", AKA standing in malls trying to sell subscriptions etc. No mention of wage, talk of being fast-tracked to management roles, basically a pyramid scheme. Bombed the interview on purpose, and yet was shortly offered a third, 40-minute long interview with a team leader, which I declined.
Came on to Glassdoor to look up BMG, but could find nothing. However soon worked out it is an offshoot/rebadging of Bamboosh, another Luke Walker venture, which has terrible reviews and is quite clearly a pyramid scheme, preying on graduates and out of work people down on their luck.
