I almost fell into the scam that is In Store Advantage Solutions on account that it is a BBB accredited business. The fact is it is 9-9 today and the company was apparently founded on 8-31 according to the BBB. This is strange from a company that claims to have big business partners and has been posting job offers for months.
The fact is nothing adds up about this place. The website sells no product, only reasons why it would be so stinking awesome to work for them. The BBB accreditation is bogus, and if there hadn't have already been reports of scam and identity theft on the internet, I just might have given them my resume, bank information, SS, and all the other information that is on the application.
If you are that desperate for a job, and decide to go in, please do not give them any of your personal information until you know exactly what you will be doing, at what time for what price and do not sign or fill out ANYTHING until you have read every word of fine print. I chose to not go through with it, and I hope you don't either.

I came across this report about In Store Advantage on Google, and wanted to say that there is no reason to question this company's legitimacy, or the job opportunities they offer. I've worked for In Store Advantage Solutions (this is their full registered name) for almost 3 months now, and have had a very satisfactory experience. I've gained valuable sales experience, which is exactly what I was looking for. The Owner/Branch Manager, Rich Randall, is a great boss who I'm pleased to say is very supportive and upfront with his team. My fellow associates (there are normally 30-50 employees) are great team players and have been very friendly. Aside from the sales team, there are a few office employees.
The entry-level position that all applicants are offered is a direct sales marketing position. In this position, we represent our two large clients, DirecTV and Vizio.
In Store Advantage has been in business for about 2 years, and about a year ago, switched owners. Whether or not the company was registered with the BBB when it first started business operations, I don't know because I've only worked under Rich Randall.
Anyone who is looking for a stable sales marketing position that offers great commission rates and incentives should feel completely comfortable applying with this company. I am more than certain if you call our office, our administrative assistant or any other office personnel will be happy to answer any questions or doubts you may have about something you've read or heard about the company.

When a friend told me that they had seen a negative remark about my company on Ripoffreport.com, I was rather surprised, seeing that we are not even close to being a 'rip off'.
Not only am I the Exec. Administrative Assistant for In Store Advantage Solutions, Inc., but I'm also an Account Manager so I get to see every aspect of the company. My boss is really nice to all of us, and wants to see us do well.
Our BBB accreditation is legit, and they can be contacted at their office anytime to validate it.
We never ask for any bank information from any of the employees, and because I started out at the bottom and worked my way up, I know that bank information has never been asked for.
When someone is hired, we do have a background check performed just so that we know we are looking out for the best interest of our clients, just like any other reputable company would do.
Our company is built around a 6 month training program where you end up not only being an Owner/Manager, but you are also given an opportunity run a branch office. Since I've been in the program I have learned an impeccable amount of various topics that have never been touched upon by any other company that I have worked for.
I trained under my Owner/Manager, Dave Ortiz, and I'm so thankful for his expertise! Dave now runs a branch for the company and is doing rather well. Even tho he has been promoted out, he still checks in with me weekly to make sure that I'm still pumped about the program and that I'm achieving my weekly goals and doing the proper steps to build my own team.
I can honestly say that I'm incredibly lucky to have been given this opportunity that is going to allow me to teach, train, and lead others.
