Prestige NY Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I was contacted by the company to set up an interview date. This was after I had already interviewed for two days and completed the entire interview process, and even received a job offer. The interviews weren't too tough, mostly simple questions to see if I'd be a good fit. They are looking for outgoing people to sell Verizon products door-to-door, with chances to advance within the company or even own a Verizon store. I declined the job due to the salary, which wasn't disclosed beforehand. I was told the average salary was $45,000 with room for negotiation. When we discussed compensation, they mentioned $200 per new customer, with work hours from 10 am to 8:30 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 6 pm on Saturdays. Selling 5 new customers ($1000) weekly works out to about $16.50 an hour. If you can manage with that weekly income and no base salary, this company might be for you.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I started by chatting with the receptionist, who was really nice. Then, an HR manager interviewed me, explaining the role and expectations. My answers were ambitious, leading to a second interview the next day, which was almost identical to the first. After they explained the steps, I was surprisingly offered the job on the spot. I mentioned needing to think about it, and the interviewer seemed displeased, citing the 'fast-paced industry.' It felt like a setup to push me into sales, which wasn't what I applied for. I declined the offer in the end, but it was a good experience with friendly staff. If it were a more typical office job, I might have accepted, but I don't want to start my career selling phone plans.

Applied and got called in for an in-person interview less than a week later in Deer Park NY. The interview was in an old, run-down office and only lasted about 7-9 minutes. The manager explained that the company markets and gives free phones to people on government assistance for Sprint and Verizon. The role involves managing a team of 6-10 marketing employees, with the goal of becoming a manager after 6 months of training. I was told I needed to come back for a second group interview the next day to discuss compensation and the position further. However, I couldn't continue because Deer Park Long Island is too far for me.
