South Chicago Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

They have 3 rounds of interviews. I came in for an in person interview with the owner. This lasted about 45 minutes. He was asking all of these ambitious questions like where I see myself in 5 years, etc. He explained that they work 6 days a week and are off on Wednesday’s. That immediately turned me off but I was trying to keep an open mind. I was invited to round two later that afternoon. Two employees took me out “to the field” to show me what the workday is like. It was to a Sam’s club -_- & they basically set up a table and try to sell cable packages to people shopping in the store. This was insanely misleading based on the description online & how ambitious the owner made it seem. I think we were there for about an hour and they were explaining the commission structure to me during down time. It was horrible. You have to sell ALOT of packages before you make even a decent amount of money. Then it was time to go back to the office. They told me that although they rarely do this, they said I didn’t need to do a third round interview and wanted to offer me a position right away. I told them I needed more time to think about it, but really my mind was made up. They didn’t have any benefits & barely any pay. If you have a college degree, you can find much better. I do not recommend this job.

The application and interview process was scheduled fine, but I was worried looking at other interviews others have posted. They say you're interviewing for a public relations position, however, you're really there for a sales position where you sell electronics in Sam's Club and Costco. 'Everyone starts out the same and you move up from there.' Please be clear on your job postings exactly what the position is so I don't waste my time coming in for something I think I'm interviewing for, but it's the opposite.

It was three interviews in total, all were good and professional. I felt a lot of positives from them. The money offered isn't the best. The interviewer was very thorough and made several hollow promises that are hard to believe. The offices are tucked away in off-the-beaten-path locations, making access not the best, and there are not many options for lunch.

It was a three step process. I talked to two people. First interview was a quick screening, and I got to see the office. Second interview was more detailed, where they really checked my skills. The third interview had final questions and we talked about salary, benefits, and hours.
