If the job ad for entry-level training for sales, marketing, management "sounds too good to be true", be cautious and ask lots of questions during the job interview. Is the job door-to-door sales, commission only, and with no benefits? Will you be an employee or a contractor? Outside sales require driving which means gasoline expense. Are you sure you really want to work on commission pay driving possibly hundreds of miles a week?
Beware of invitations for an all-day second "interview". If you decide to go to the second "interview", wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing lots of walking trying to sell door-to-door.

This company contacted me today. The guy was upfront about them being a sales and marketing firm in downtown Atlanta. The guy asked if I would be interested in a position there. I politely said, "Not really." And that was that. We ended the call.
ReplyDeleteThe man said that he saw my resume online (I believe Careerbuilder). I'm thinking that I should take it down because I am not a salesperson and I do not want these companies trying to get me to do sales.
Well Im happy i decided to look up this company because they contacted me today and i have an interview tomorrow. I explain to the lady i dont have management exp. and she was like, Oh well we train you... and i wasnt feeling the drive anyway..I get real suspicious about jobs that say they found me on career builder.. and i didnt apply for them. Which means i wasnt interested thats why i didnt apply.
DeleteThey just called me and she didn't tell me upfront if the job was commission based although I asked. My resume is on careerbuilder too and I'm with you, Janaya, I am not a salesperson, either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Blog!!! I received a last attempt email which made me go back to my resume to first see if my contact number was correct, then I looked at website which made NO SENSE under the "Who We Are" tab, which said absolutely nothing and to that the people in the photo all wore cheap suits..."Sorry I pay attention to details" and those little details such as clothing tells me they weren't making any money. So I just clicked on it as SPAM.
ReplyDeleteI just received a voice and email stating:
ReplyDeleteThis is Carina Wingel, HR Assistant with Veritas, Incorporated. Thank you for applying with our company!
You've recently applied for our Account Manager position. After reviewing your resume I feel you would be a great potential match for this role. If hired for the Account Manager position it would be full-time, located here in Buckhead, Atlanta.
I would love to discuss the position and a possible interview for tomorrow. I can be reached anytime before 6pm.
Talk to you soon,
Carina Wingel

The email address this came from was a gmail account (veritasincatlanta@gmail.com) which I have learned that most companies (that present themselves with stock pics of people in suits)spare the expense to purchase a company email address. I am truly thankful I decided to google the company before calling them back. This sounds like a waste of time for I am not sales material.
I was just contacted today and I am so very glad that I did not attempt to call off for a complete waist of time. You're blog has been very fruitful in giving this much need insight. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found this blog. I was contacted by Veritas on this past Friday. I was so happy that I was being contacted, by phone & email (just like @ChocolateGirlNtheCorner's account) that I gave them a call back and scheduled an interview for this Monday. After my emotions calmed down, I thought about everything said. Like "you applied for this position". Lie. I keep record of the companies and positions I apply for and Veritas Inc is no where on my record. Nor would I apply for the position of account manager. That reeks of "sales". And I am fully aware and comfortable knowing that I am not a sales person. This is shameful. I'm canceling my "interview".
ReplyDeleteThanks again for posting this.
Was contacted like ChocolateGirl above, this blog is very helpful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOmg I was contacted today by Veritas too. I just said yes to an interview even though I had my doubt. Now after reading all of your comments...I'm going to email them back and say no thanks to the interview.
ReplyDeleteI was contacted by e-mail today. I said yes to an interview a few minutes ago. Now since I've seen this blog, I'm not going to the interview. I change my mind. I will email them back and say no thanks too!!!
Deletethis is a helpful blog. I was pushed for an interview but told them I am already employed and could not make the time she offered. Told her I would call her back once I check my schedule. After reading this, I will not be calling back.
ReplyDeleteVery Helpful blog! Great idea. I JUST got off the phone with the representative. Being that I live in Gwinnett county, I didn't want to waste my time going all the way to Buckhead for an interview before I google the company (because I didn't apply for this job)
ReplyDeleteThe lady said its a business management job so I'd be a manager. Sounds like an amazing opportunity. . . that's why I'm not going.
I applied for several Management positions on yesterday, so I could not say that I didnt apply. I too live in Gwinnett and dont want to waste my PTO, time in the GA Heat, or my GAS. I went on a goose chase with an Insurance Company in Gainesville. A bunch of B-O-L-O-G-N-A. They had a large group of us---all dressed up to be told that they are recruiting Insurance Agents (door-to-door sales). Messed up my day, wasting my time and a good DAY OFF.
DeleteI was contacted today by a woman named Jamie at 404-869-0018, stating that her manager saw my resume and wanted her to call me. After asking me three brief questions, she then asked for a face-to-face interview. I am currently relocating to the Atlanta area and looking to obtain a position in management. I advised I would have to meet next Monday the 25th. I decided to do some additional research as I looked for a flight from Wisconsin and I found this blog. I would have been highly upset if I wasted my money and time for some entry-level position selling anything door-to-door. Jamie was not upfront about the position and described it as a management position. I called Jamie back after reading this blog and she then confessed it is some type of door-to-door entry level position. (YIKES)I would like to thank the people who posted this blog about the company Versitas Inc!!!
ReplyDeleteGot the same call from the same person on today. When questioned, Jaimie gave me the Web-address only and told me that her Manager was better qualified to further explain Verritas and what they were looking for and offering.
DeleteOh ....Jaimie did say that they would PAY ME for the 1ST 3 WEEKS. She did give me that much info. With that I came to the conclusion that it had to be SALES. I am not a Salesperson. NOT!
DeleteI worked for them for a month, and its pretty simple. Everything you think it is, it is. It is door to door sales, straight commission, and no benefits. They tell you to write off food, gas, and every other expense as a tax write off. The job isn't overly hard. The hardest part is staying focused and getting past all the "no's" from businesses. It is a lot of driving which does suck, but I enjoyed the people I worked with. Majority of them are young kids out of college who are still being supported strongly by their parents. They do try and sell you on the company because they need you in order to get promoted. Their "team" has to make 4k in commission, for 2 weeks consecutively in order to get promoted to assistant manager, and thats assuming that there is an assistant manager role available. Ed is a nice guy, and he's very friendly, but he feeds you the wealth bullshit everyday. It gets old. If you aren't interested in doing business to business, door to door sales for probably 15 months, don't go in. I mean I made about $600 a week for a couple weeks, but i would leave my house at 7am, and get back at 7pm, so I was working about 60 hours a week.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I found this BLOG as well. I dont have PTO to waste on dead-end leads. I instantly started asking questions and the only 1 answer I got was the Company Web Address. I searched the company and discovered this. Wow! I will not call back for and interview appt.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous waste of employed peoples time. I am looking for advancement, not a set back.
They should Market to those who have no jobs and do not collect unemployment. SMH
Thank you for saving me gas money! Omg I would've felt stupid driving from Gwinnett County (45 minutes) only to be told about this joke of a job. In a time like this, when so many honest people are looking for a job, they're setting up many new employees for disappointment. I knew the lady on the phone sounded too nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesus! I will not be attending my interview. I just read everyone's comments and I'm glad I did. I felt like something was up with this offer. I will not be leaving Gwinnett County tomorrow for Buckhead, lol.. Thanks a bunch
ReplyDeleteI have an interview scheduled today at 3 (curious if anyone else does as the MO for these companies tend to be group interviews..)and was debating on going. I am not at a point of desperately looking for a job, but this is a great resource to know about some questionable positions...
ReplyDeleteThanks for creating it
I was just called for an interview tomorrow morning at 10am. I'm glad this blog was posted. I called the company back and they told me that it wasn't a door- to- door sales position, but a junior executive position. What is a junior executive anyways lol. I'm not going to drive to Buckhead from Lithonia with the little gas money i have left for a BS interview. I'm tired of these scams and i wish people would stop lying so much, we are desperate for jobs. Its too many job scams in Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteWell I have an interview for Monday the 23rd. After I started reading this blog and other information:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ripoffreport.com/cult-organizations/veritas-inc/veritas-inc-veritas-atlanta-885f3.htm
I called Jaimie Leandro HR Assistant Veritas, Incorporated. 404-869-0015 back and inquired if the company was previously named Wentworth Marketing. I also asked her questions about what was posted about the company. She informed me of the companies rating and their contract with Comcast which has pre-selected customers to contact.
After speaking with her and taking into consideration what I have read in this blog, I am going to meet with them for the interview. I will let everyone know what take place and I applied with them without being contacted by them first.
I just came back from my first interview. It seems that what everyone was saying is not true at this present time. I don't know about the past but now this company looks to be a great company to work for. According to Trish, the reason for the name change from Wentworth Marketing to Veritas was due to a company with a similar name running scams which caused this company to pay for it. One of the contracts that the company has reimbursed for gas and they do provide health benefits alone with 401K matching. Also there is no cold calling, Comcast provide the names of prescreened business that “want” more services. Because of incentives that the company now offer the turnover rate is really low and they pay $$$$ plus commission hiring you as an employee and not a contractor providing a W2 every year. Also the interview was not rushed and she allowed me to ask any question that I wanted. If anyone has any questions about my interview experience please asks.
DeleteKennyJ I have an interview with them tomorrow, as I have nothing else going on, and will report back to everyone with my findings.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to ask the questions that you feel you need answers to.
DeleteSo how did your interview go?
DeleteDamn....I'm sitting in the waiting room right now....I'll go thru with it, but turn them down. I've run into these kinds of scams twice before. I should have picked up on it, but it was 9 years ago
ReplyDeletekennyj, do they reimburse for gas? I could eat up 600 a week in gas very easily.
ReplyDeleteYes, Comcast reimburse so much per mile.
DeleteFYI, Comcast employees are paid a base salary plus uncapped commissions and they are paid mileage reimbursement, but third-party companies that contract with Comcast to sign up residential or business customer are not reimbursed for mileage because they are not employees of Comcast but contractors.
DeleteVeritas, Inc (Atlanta) is an independently owned corporate licensee of Cydcor. Cydcor negotiates contracts with AT&T, Verizon and Comcast to resell services. The local Cydcor affiliates such as Veritas only deal with the corporate Cydcor office. The local, regional and headquarter offices of AT&T, Verizon and Comcast have never heard of Veritas or any of the other hundreds of independent Cydcor affiliates.
A Cydcor affiliate such as Veritas that provides 401k matching? Really? If you interview with Veritas, ask about the pay structure (100% commission, base salary plus commission), health insurance, dental insurance, vacation, and mileage reimbursement. Will you be "hired" as an independent contractor or as an employee of Veritas? It has been reported by former employees of other Cydcor affiliates that the base salary is $300 per week plus $50 commission per sale or 100% commission at 10% per sale.
Regarding management opportunities, you could sell services and recruit to build your own sales team and maybe manage or own your own Cydcor local office, but do you really want to relocate hundreds or thousands of miles from your current home to operate an independently owned local Cydcor office?
THIS IS WHAT I WROTE AFTER MY INTERVIEW:
DeleteI just came back from my first interview. It seems that what everyone was saying is not true at this present time. I don't know about the past but now this company looks to be a great company to work for. According to Trish, the reason for the name change from Wentworth Marketing to Veritas was due to a company with a similar name running scams which caused this company to pay for it.

I WILL tell you, from a couple months experience there, they do NOT have health benefits (Ed says that every time he has his "rags to riches" meeting every Friday)they do NOT reimburse you for gas. I asked Trish myself one day and she looked at me like I was stupid. And you don't "cold call" anyone, you go from business to business and "try" to get them to either upgrade or get the service. 90% of the places I went into threw me out, because I told them their name was on the lead sheet, and they said they've never had Comcast, and NEVER want it. I don't see how you people read these comments and STILL go to the interview. I'm telling you as an actual person that worked there. STAY AWAY from VERITAS!!!!
DeleteApology to Kaity Mason. Her earlier comment, posted on 09/21/12, was accidentally deleted when two false testimonials from former/current employees or defenders of Veritas Atlanta were deleted.
DeleteKaity Mason noreply-comment@blogger.com
Sep 21 - 2:40 PM
Kaity Mason has left a new comment on your post "Veritas Inc. (Atlanta, GA)":
I worked for Veritas for almost 3 months. The hours were HIDEOUSLY long. I woke up at 5 every morning, got dressed and left my house NO LATER than 6:45 to get there by 8... wouldnt be out in the field till 11, then have to drive around ALL day, in random parts of Atlanta, then have to drive back to the office at the end of the day for another meeting, and then sit in traffic all the way home, getting home around 7:30 and going to bed by 10. This whole time, I had to pay for my own gas in my car, and It exhausted me. The people there are really nice, don't get me wrong, but if you want to work 50+ hours a week and sometimes only bringing home $100 paycheck...then by all means.
BTW everyone, I was contacted today about an interview tomorrow. Nothing was said about sales, only management position. WHen I tried to lookup the company website, google pops up a warning about it.
ReplyDeleteI googled it and did not get any kind of warning, you may want to check your computer.
DeleteHahahaha this blog is great and its so funny how they have these fake people posting bull about there scam company hahaha thank you everyone great postings we need more and btw... who the fuck gives away management positions in 2012!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up. I have a scheduled interview with them today. I think I'm gonna pass...
ReplyDeleteHey, Kennyj its been about two Weeks since your first post. If it is such a great company are you presently working for them? If so, how is it going?
ReplyDeleteThey never called me back for a 2nd interview, since then I have moved back to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteWow I received a call today to come in for an interview on tomorrow. I was very excited but then I Google Veritas and went to their website. I tried to get some understanding of "what they do". I went back to my Google search and found all this information including this heading: Veritas, Inc. Veritas Atlanta GA Stay Away from Veritas, Inc Marketing Company!!! Atlanta, Georgia
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ripoffreport.com/cult-organizations/veritas-inc/veritas-inc-veritas-atlanta-885f3.htm
After reading this article, I called the young lady back and ask her what type of position would I be interviewing for and she informed me that it was "Management Training for AT&T. I then informed her that I would not be interested in the position.
I want to thank everyone on this blog for the informative information. It saved me gas and time!
Thanks for the report! I don't need a job that badly lol, its like a 6 steps back for me at least
ReplyDeleteI have an interview this morning I also went to their website to get information about the company. Thanks so much for the log after reading all of the comments I think I will pass I'm definitely not a salesperson. I got stuck with one of these companies a few months ago in Alpharetta I was too pissed to have wasted the gas since I live near the airport. The only good thing that came out of that was m best and I had lunch out there that day. Thanks everyone Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteI just had an interview this morning. I actually think it went very well. They answered all my questions about benefits to compensation. Overall the company was very nice to me....its was kinda of breath of fresh air compared to all the other companies that I have interviewed with. So to be honest I'm not understanding all the negative comments about the company. Its funny how people believe everything they read on the internet.
DeleteFake shill is fake~
DeleteIt's funny how people believe everything told to them in an interview... oh and good luck with your "second interview!"
Samantha, everyone who reads and follows this blog would love to know about your experience during the all-day "interview". We would love to know the details of their benefits and compensation. Most Cydcor affiliates do not offer "benefits" such as health insurance and vacation/paid-time-off. The compensation is usually 100% commission or $300 per week plus $50 commission per sale. This 100% commission per sale or $300 salary plus $50 commission per sale compensation structure has been reported by many people who interviewed or worked for different Cydcor affiliates.
DeleteTHE REPORTER:
Deletefor all the negative things you write about these businesses it makes me think you either profit money from these blogs or are a competitor. I doubt you invest this amount of time for your health or the well being of others. Also, even though veritas may not have a 401k or anything like that, they do offer someone the ability to own their own business...does that qualify as a "benefit" to you or do you only consider dental and vision insurance a benefit? Comcast would never give their employees that opportunity. People have to weigh out the cost/benefit and make a decision as to how they want to live. - take a risk to earn something big, or just get a sales job. Being an overachiever is not for everyone, but it is for some.
Wow Thank God I came across this blog. Received a email this morning from Jaimie Leandro about my resume. Called her back and set an interview with Trish for Monday @ 10:30. Samantha Lungusta is right you should not believe everything you read on the internet but when a company has reviews that is all over the place SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!!!. Samantha and Kennyj wrote good reviews but one thing they NEVER GOT HIRED!!!!. Kaity was hired for 2-3 months and explained in details how the company really operates thank GOD for her review. I appreciate this blog and all the reviews are current I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THIS INTERVIEW THIS IS ASHAME.
ReplyDeleteAnother little thing to point out. Have you noticed that out of the 50+ offices Veritas apparently has from Atlanta to Seattle, the one in Atlanta is the only one with an address or phone number. What happened to their original office in Denver? Most companies have a link to all of their offices, where as Veritas' seem to be hard to find.
ReplyDeleteWow ok they called me today to set up an interview for Monday but it seems to be a illegitimate offer and I'm very happy to have crossed this site.
ReplyDeleteI currently work for veritas inc in Atlanta . I am fairly disappointed in the reviews I've read on this blog. I would like to clarify things that have been brought up by other people. First, Ed, the owner is a very kind and considerate man.. Very down to earth owner in a corporate environment. Within 2 weeks of employment he knew my Childs name off the top of his head from a brief conversation we'd previously engaged in. Also, every company event has been family friendly. This position is commission based up until the assistant management position. You do drive your own vehicle, and pay for your own gas HOWEVER you are eligible for a substantial reimbursement when filing your taxes. . Something along the lines of .60/mile I believe. It is long hours, 8 am to 6pm but again, they are family friendly and are willing to accommodate your time constraints to an extent. There is no cold calling but it is door to door business sales. They explain from the get go that this position is sales, and not everyone is meant to be a salesman. In my first week solo I made something along the lines of 700$, mind you, this is my first sales job. I have not been misled at all up to this point. Regardless of the long hours and times spent busting my ass, I love my job. It's been one of my most enjoyable positions thus far . For the self motivated, driven individual, this position could hold a ton of potential, but be warned, this isn't a job for someone who is interested in riding a desk.
ReplyDelete@ Lauren Thomas corporate environment? Meaning what ...so Mr ED..is still a rip off buz man in a suite he doesn't give a damn abt u n ur child....At da end of the day he wants results which = to ROI ...di u know that means did Veritas teach u this....No.Driving all over ATL why don't they get a company car if they care abt you n your fam....or maybe Mr. ED will drive u around in his BM W..not ...so much for " friendly ,family , business.All commission based companies r abt PROfit it doesn't matter door to door r cold calls all da same n business world.It's hard wk...u want wk alday wit no benefits n respect.
ReplyDeleteI was called by Noel Nutchinson at this same Atlanta Veritas office and told that my resume had been reviewed and that Brandon, the hiring manager, would like to have an interview with me. I hadn't applied for this company, and I would not have ever applied for the Account Manager position Noel told me about. I Googled the company and browsed their website which brought up very little information and no hard facts about how the employees work with the company's clients. Dissatisfied with the lack of information, I Googled further and found this site.
ReplyDeleteMy interview was scheduled for tomorrow. I will call before I make the hour drive to try and find out for sure about what the position is about. When I was talking with Noel (who was super friendly), she asked, "You applied for this position, right?"
I said, "No, I'm interested in administration, actually."
"Oh, well Brandon (the hiring manager) still wants to talk with you."
I'll come back and let you know how it goes! I'm also, like everyone else, very thankful for this site. I hate getting reeled into interviews for sales that last over an hour. This would have been the third time I didn't see it coming. Thank goodness I'm finally learning.
It's really long, but this is the email (in addition to the phone call) I received asking me to an interview:
DeleteGood Morning Lindsay,
Thank you for applying with our company through Career Builder!
My name is Dani Mesen, and I am the HR Manager here at Veritas, Inc. Our Hiring Managers have reviewed your resume and would like to schedule an initial in person one-on-one interview to discuss your background and qualifications.
You submitted your resume for the Management Trainee position. This position involves marketing, customer service and client acquisitions in the Atlanta area and leads to management for the right candidate. In the bigger picture, we plan to develop a qualified individual into a management position, where they can oversee day to day operations within the office.
We provide one-on-one training and coaching in the areas of product sales, marketing and team leadership. The ideal candidate will have a positive attitude, a great work ethic, a student mentality, and strong people skills.
The skills above certainly help your chances of getting an interview, but doesn't necessarily "make or break" that decision. We also factor in past education, experience, and overall professionalism of a candidate.
Since we represent the two telecom companies in Atlanta (Comcast & AT&T), we are very selective in our interview process. Therefore, it makes sense for us to find a candidate that can represent AT&T or Comcast to the highest level of professionalism and integrity.
To ensure an opportunity with us, please contact us today at Dani.Mesen@veritasatlanta.com or (404)869-0015 as soon as possible with the time frame that best fits your schedule. Our office hours are: Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST. We are conducting interviews this week.
Have a great day and we look forward to speaking with you soon!
Best regards,
Dani Mesen

Well, I called the company, and it was a rather uneventful conversation. I asked clarifying questions about the position they contacted me about, the girl mentioned it being a position with opportunity for growth, but that it starts out lower, and I told her I was actually looking for positions in X field, and please I'd like to cancel my interview. No big.
DeleteI received the same exact email and phone call today from this company from Dani Mesen.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone, this is Dani Mesen.
ReplyDeleteThe evil human resource manager we keep bashing on this website. I am a current employee at Veritas Inc.
Throughout the time I have been employed here, I've been nothing but honest to people both over the phone and in person. I make sure to go out of my way in order to try and get all questions answered.
As opposed to being "so angry" and judgmental about not getting a second round interview/call/a desk job where you get paid while you spend 5hrs on facebook and the other 3hrs doing mediocre work/a job where you again perform however you want and don't give a damn, likewise where your managers do not care for you to get promoted at any point in time. If you like to have managers who step all over you and could care less about your performance at work, be my guest. I would recommend not believing everything people say and create your own opinion as opposed to following others'. Have a mind of your own.
You read it on here, so it's true? Shows how gullible people really are. Just like that State Farm commercial...haha. If you have questions about the position and are "so desperately trying to find a job" show up for your interview and give it a chance. If you tells us a salary range that you are looking for we can go from there and see if it is a good match. But who does that anyway? You need a job, period. Be smart about how you approach job opportunities.
Us, recruiters, do you a favor by giving you a call after reviewing your qualifications when you are job seeking. It is a waste of time to schedule people for interviews who are first of all naive enough to believe people who never even made it to their interview in the first place, or people who obviously simply don't care to work hard and earn their place.
This business is clearly not for everyone. It is highly competitive and there is a reason we have been on the market for over 15 years and have developed plenty of offices in every state. We must be doing something right.
But is what it is. Here at some pointers:
If you have any questions in regards of a specific position here at Veritas Inc. Contact a Human Resource Manager (someone who actually knows what they're talking about) to get your questions answered.
Save major, more professional questions to the time when you are "offered" the position and avoid bandwagoning; you will never know how it could have turned out if you just follow the trend of people who are probably still job seeking as you are reading this.
You can either take or leave my advice. We have fun in this office, it is a nice fresh of air to interact with people who enjoy their jobs and are ready to get down to business. People are happy and motivated to work here. If you lack "self-motivation," simply do not apply for positions here or anywhere in the first place. Self-motivation plays a huge part in the corporate business as well as in every other job. Employers look for quality employees, not those who will leave in a matter of a month because the job is challenging.
However, those who enjoy growth, opportunity, and challenge are welcomed to apply! We enjoy people with great personalities and attitudes who can picture themselves growing within a company and advancing based on performance and work ethic.
Best of luck in your job seeking and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Sincerely,
Dani Mesen
Evil Human Resource Manager
The insulting tone of this post is really leaving an impression on me. This is the first time, i have seen a LEGITIMATE (as you claim) company respond to a random blog post. This post only cemented what other people have already said about this company. Also, HR managers are not door to door sales people, have a steady salary, and have benefits.
Delete"Us, recruiters, do you a favor by giving you a call" Well, I just thought it was HR's JOB to call qualified candidates.
"If you lack "self-motivation," simply do not apply for positions here or anywhere in the first place." This must be a preview of the company's sales "training."
At any job I have worked, HR people are usually the most friendly and most helpful. Judging by this response, I definitely do not want to meet the other employees like the sales managers or supervisors.
I'm glad that I read this blog. I was almost excited about my interview tomorrow, but no thanks. Not only did I not apply to this position, but it's not a career option for me. I was told I would manage the customer service department for AT&T. I was called and after reading all these messages I re-listened to my voice mail to see what company called me and surely it was Veritas. My first thought was yeah it may have not been what I initially wanted, but it felt like a foot in the door to get to the design department at AT&T, when it was stated as that type of job, but door to door and sales is a negative for me. I don't have time for that, I have loans and a family. As far as that so called HR message to others, that's very unprofessional and let's me know I don't want to be represented by a company with such a negative vibe. Everyone is entitled to their opinion,and so called trying to belittle people for their opinions of this job is just tacky. People obviously know what they want in a career, and it doesn't make them less because they're not feeling what your company has to offer. I know my potential and I choose not to waste my time or Veritas. Thanks, and I won't be interviewing tomorrow. Good luck Veritas, and for anyone who reads this, I hope you read up before you go in. It might be for you, it might not, either way at least you know what's coming!
