 The ad on Careerbuilder stated Event Coordinator, and it touted charitable organizations like D.A.R.E. as one of their clients. Upon recieving a congatulatory e-mail, I was "selected" to interview. The 8 minute interview was vague and not professionally done, so I was suspicious about the company. I asked questions about the job and was told very generic answers, which REALLY made me wary. The man told me if I was willing to see what the job was about to come back on Mon. and a coordinator would show me. HOME DEPOT was the client that we would be working with. At this point I knew it was some sort of scam, but wanted to do some homework on the company before I closed the door and moved on. Found this web site and suspicions were confirmed, but still wanted to see first hand how slimy these people were. Monday, went and ws asked to sign a form, upon refusal, the "HR" manager brought me to the office and upon confronting her, the job is actually commissioned sales selling installed sales at HOME DEPOT. If you sell, you get paid, if not, you stood around all day for no pay. Problem is... this is not illegal... UNETHICAL to the Nth degree, but, not illegal. As for me, I have contacted both DARE and HOME DEPOTS legal departments and they will be looking in on the hiring practices of these leeches and pariahs. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY...........

its great to see people come on a website to and slander a company who is hiring people, maybe if u had not showed up to an interview in jeans and a t shirt and spent sometime in the home depot you would have discovered that it is not a sell and get paid  or dont sell dont get paid commision only type of postion, managemanet makes the decision on who gets paid how much AFTER they have time to give u a proper evaluation. you are free to call DARE @ 1-800-223-DARE to inquire about our standing with that charitable organization, we have nothing to hide. As far a home depot u can call them as well and they will tell u the same thing, and as for saying we are a scam trying to slander our company, it certainly does suck that some campanies will be decietful in there hiring practices, and John if u came in for an event coor position and didnt have any experience then we would most certainly not even entertain the thought of hiring you for that position. At the end of the day we at Empire cant waste anymore of our time on these issues, we have HUGE clients to tend to and cant be bothered by the misguided unfortunate people who are too lazy to find a job and are happy to just collect unemployment because of what they read online. It is a free country, and our freedom is what makes this country great, but from time to time it also allows dimwits like John to come onto a website to try and take down the people that he is jealous of, and that my friends is just life, but just like everything else in life if we spend out time looking for a reason things cant be done then we will alway find a reason to fail.
