I applied online. I interviewed at DFW Consultants (Quincy, MA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Cold Called me and had me come in. I got to the office and it was a tiny 3 room office. They were blaring EDM. Told me it was for a marketing job, but later found out it was door to door sales. I shadowed one of their salesmen for the day for who in earnest tried to explain to me how the company hierarchy works. I could see through the BS that it was just a pyramid scheme. I declined the offer.

this is a scam!!!!! Do not fall into it!!!! This place is known as a few different companies including iMarketing, Focus Marketing Strategies, and DFW Consults. Probably more too. Look them up before you think about going here.
This is an employment scam!

Interview
A complete scam job and waste of time. They will lie to your face by all means necessary. This is a STRAIGHT COMMISSION SALES JOB and a PYRAMID SCHEME.
They advertise this job as "marketing" or some sort of "account executive" position and will act as such until you shadow. The first interview is quick and easy- anything to get you in the door and make you feel like you have already put in your time, so why not give it a shot?
The shadow day is where they reveal themselves as a complete pyramid scheme and door-to-door sales position. You will be forced to carpool with a group of people you've just met & be dropped off with the person you're shadowing somewhere in MA, while you follow them for a full six hours. See what I mean by loss aversion here?
You will follow them around while they peddle Verizon FiOs to their "leads" and make 0 sales, all while spouting buzzwords like "unlimited income potential" and "growth opportunities." Don't fall for it. Trust me, this is a scam and pyramid scheme.
This is NOT a marketing or finance job. Don't be fooled. It's only sales. Door-to-door at that. Don't fall for it, they are truly desperate.
Also a word of warning- in order to force you on board, they may even claim to pay you a base in addition to commission for the first two weeks. Just don't even bother. I have heard this a lie. I may be wrong, but in the long term you are not going to make any money from this job.
I won't be surprised if this company changes names soon after all of the bad reviews. These Verizon FiOs companies are everywhere and always re-branding to cover their tracks. Buyer beware of "too good to be true" so-called "marketing" and "financial" companies that can only interview between 11 and 12 when their office is full for "atmosphere." You've been warned. Just stay away.
