Beware of attractive, but possibly deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ads state no experience required. If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage or commission? Are there company benefits?
People who interview with Cydcor affiliates are told they have the opportunity to be trained for marketing, management, sales, public relations, advertising, human resources so they can open their own office.What the job seekers are not told is that they are trained to open new independently owned corporate licensee offices thus repeating the recruiting cycle.
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.
Do you really want to work for a company called Fire, Inc?
There are other Cydcor affiliates with ridiculous simple names. The owners choose very generic names so job seekers will have a very difficult time locating information about their independently owned offices.

I was just contacted by one of the "HR Manager" (read receptionist) from this company ... She wrote in her mail that the position was for entry level account managers who will be responsible for maintaining accounts of existing AT&T clients plus some acquisitions. The second para of the mail read the same position as "Customer service, sales executive" professionals ... I was confused and gave her a call to learn more about the profile and nature of job. Well obviously she didnt say anything clearly ... I hard a hard time finding out whether or not this is an entry level sales position ... she was very tactful in saying that you will be hired as assistant manager and given ample training on how to handle customers and how to run your "own business" .... I asked her is this a salaried or a commissioned position, for which her answer was "it could be both" !! How funny is that !! Lastly she was desperate to somehow fix an interview with the manager and she kept on saying "the manager would discuss further stuffs with you" .... I would say this kind of interview offer is pretty shady and definitely should be avoided ... Also for people who wants to go for a sales position, I would say pick a company which is clear and fair with its policies and doesnt deceive the applicant by luring him / her into the job by stating that it would be a managerial position for handling AT&T client accounts ... How disgusting is that !! And lastly I have never heard of something like "An entry level" "managerial" position, unless you are a fresh graduate from a business school
