Interview
When I applied to IMI, I received a call back only hours later. I was then scheduled to interview the next day. My interview was a group interview with three other potential employees and one employer who was visiting for training purposes. Although they have multiple job opportunities listed online, they actually have a pyramid method where everyone starts from the bottom and work their way up. The process was fast-paced and casual which I enjoyed. My only complaint is that I was given at most five minutes to speak about myself and my past work experience. I did not feel like the company actually knew anything about the other candidates or myself. I learned more about the person hiring's personal life then I did about the actual position.

Interview
Did a phone interview first then they said I was a good fit for their role so I should come in for an interview. Once there it was a group interview (how childish to hide that). Then the interview was just them explaining their cult/pyramid scheme that allows them to take advantage of entry level workers doing solicitation grunt work and calling it marketing and labeling it all as a training program for leadership.
Once you go through their first couple training phases they allow you to actually field a job in their company that coud fit your skills/niche/experience, meaning you have to do their event table grunt work no matter what division you work.

Interview
STAY AWAY!!! Have you recently finished your marketing/communications/business/(insert random major here) and are in need of a job?? Make sure you don't bite here, as this is the poorest and laziest form of marketing: annoying people outside a King Soopers or whatever store is dumb enough to let us set up a table in front of their shop and have us either try to convince people that they should buy some car wax no one has heard of/wants or taking commissions off charity donations for bullied kids.
When you go on the website for Stand for the Silent to check for their partners, IMI or whichever one of it's previous iterations (IMI is a scam business that changes name every year of couple of months or so because what they do is suspect) DOES NOT SHOW UP as a partner to the organization. Pretty unsettling knowing these people somehow make money accepting these charitable donations when they have no obvious or proven association with the charity itself.
These people should go into politics because they sure know how to spin this bs. Not to mention, I quit immediately after I saw that they pressured people into only taking commissions for compensation because they know they run a total shambles of an operation. Besides spamming LinkedIn, I have seen them set up tables outside stores and restaurants in the middle of a literal pandemic. Giant red flag, this is a waste of your time and super sketchy. This is not a marketing job, this is a sales job, where you've been reduced to being a sales monkey.
The interview process is what it's like to rush at a fraternity; toxic masculinity spewing throughout and some wetwipe named Brandon who thinks he's the Wolf of Wall Street (very probably god as well).
