One Up Interview Questions
& Process

It was a super chill interview, got an offer too, but turned it down. The company is great, just the workload is intense. People pull 12+ hour days, 6 days a week. Everyone starts at entry level, making about $550-650 a week for those long hours. It seems like you advance pretty fast though. Entry level is only 2-3 weeks, depends on how much you hustle. Then you're an account manager, earning $800-900 a week. After a year, they say you hit assistant manager making $65-75k, then Director of Ops making six figures. All this while working crazy hours. It might be worth it if you're ready to grind for a couple years and get that promised six figures.

You basically get hired if you can say your name, smile, and not have a seizure. It's like selling cell phones at booths. If you're super positive, energetic, and love talking to strangers all day, you'll do great. They lied about the starting salary, saying 50-60k a year, which seemed too high given how easy the phone screen was. They asked me to dress business professional and bring a hard copy of my resume to make the job seem more prestigious, but my gut told me they were trying to make the company seem fancier than it is. At real companies, you don't need to bring your resume. I asked how I'd get to job sites since I don't have a car, and they said they'd arrange carpools, which made no sense since they don't know where anyone lives. That's when I knew it was BS. This job is for recent high school grads who like driving long distances to talk to people all day.

The application process was pretty fast. I had forgotten about applying until I got a call for an interview. Brandon from HR seemed nice. I was scheduled for an interview the next day. It felt a bit off when I got on the call. Needa, the head of HR, was supposed to be there, but it was Brandon instead. He said Needa had to leave the office just as the call was scheduled. When I joined the video call, I saw I was in an interview with other applicants. I didn't have high hopes after reading other reviews, and they're all true. The process is super easy, anyone can get this job. It's called 'direct marketing,' but it's really sales. You have to stand outside buildings and sell phones to low-income people. It feels like a scam. The lady who called me to say I got a second interview was really rude. When I asked to reschedule because of class, she just laughed and said, 'I don't know if they'll let you in if you're a bit late.' If the company is unsympathetic during the interview, how will they treat me if hired? Trust your gut and listen to the reviews.

The interview process was detailed and fast. First, Brandon gave me a very concise and professional interview about the position. Then I shadowed Jessica, who was really knowledgeable and had tremendous energy. She had a great attitude and work ethic. My final interview was more serious, but understandably so, as I was back in the office instead of out in the field like I was with Jessica.
