These people are really ridiculous and I feel like they have just pulled something shystie. I would honestly be real cautious about even considering employment with these scum bags. I went in for an interview for the Quality Assurance position they "had" available and ended up spending two hours at this company. I interviewed with this Gina Neist. And she was 10 minutes late to interview me. This individual is supposedly in the HR department. Yes I am nameing names. Then she has me sit and wait for about... 15-20 more minutes for another manager by the name of Jim. Then she has me sit again for almost a half hour to interview with the sales support manger by the name of Malcolm. So I interview with him, and this was the most bizarre interview. This man sat and grilled me and asked some of the most stupid questions. Talk about anal. So over all I sat there for two hours interviewing and sitting and waiting for these people. The lady in HR then told me that I was hired and would start training the following week. She said that I would only be paid $8.25 hr in training and then $9.00 hr when my regular shift starts. Ok so... I start training the following week. there were only four people in this class including myself. The individual that was trainging the class was the guy whom I had interviewed with, Malcolm the sales support supervisor. This man was realy rude, arrogant, anal, impatient, as well as used abusive and aggressive tactics to get an individual to reel in and catch on to their scams. Mind you, I was in this class with all sales people. So automaticaly I am thinking, why am I in a training class with all sales people and I the only Quality Assurance Monitor? am I here for the QA position I applied for or are they trying to pull a fast one and train me as a sales rep.That just set up the "red flags factor" for me. Long story short, the next day another female comes into the training class and we had a conversation she tells me she was hired for as a QA as well and has experience. Hmmmm. She also told me that she was held for two hours as well interviewing with these people. This was funny because this Gina character told me that they never have this problem with holding candidates for two hours interviewing. That was a bold faced lie. Another "red flag." I thought, why would they have another QA start in the middle of a training class? she has QA experience and I don't hmmmm. So after sitting in this class for four days listening to "MALCOLM" degrade and put employees down, on that fourth day of training no more than three hours after the shift ended I recieve a call from this Gina Neist telling me that some guy named Dave agreed that I was not a good fit and my check would be ready the following day. So what do I think about this garbage of a company? well..... I believe that these people are a bunch of low lifes that like and feed off other low lifes. Because that's what this company is about. They put up a grandiose front as if they are soooo professional. They are ripping people completely off. They only target small businesses because a lot of small businesses may need a "great deal" on SEO service oppossed to a larger company that can really afford to fork out the big bucks for online advertising and listings. 411 Local are Black Hat specialists. They claim to be a White Hat. These people are liars and it is making me wonder so was I terminated because I didn't fit in? was it my race? or was it that they changed their minds and  decided that I would be a waist to train when they could just hire an individual with QA experience and discard me. I hope these people do not continue getting away with the cruel treatment of new hires and their customers. They are doing a lot of illegal things at this company. It seems that these people also have another business on Flamingo and Eastern here in Vegas selling human growth hormone supplements. Yeah Ok! you know what crooks do? continue to move around and open several little businesses around town and DBA every last one of them. Or change their name. Could the FBI get involved? hmmmmm! I'll be checking into it because I've had enough of these fly by night rip off companies. Someone needs to slam 411 Service AKA 411 Service.net or 411 Local and cause the doors to be shut permanently on these people. See what I mean with the DBA to death. I do know that it pays to do your research before you consider interviewing or doing business with a company. You just might be sorry.

#1 UPDATE Employee

Great Company to work for!

AUTHOR: Frank - (United States of America)

I was out of work for over 1.5 years when I came across 411
Locals and they were the only company in Las Vegas that would hire me because I
didnt have a lot of experience, but the owner interviewed me and said he would
give me a shot even though I didnt meet the job requirements because he could
tell I was hungry for work. With a wife and 3 kids, unemployment just doesnt
pay the bills. That was over two years ago and I am still work for 411 Locals
and we are still hiring new people every week. I have rarely seen an owner that
is more involved with his company and who actually cares about his employees.

To see someone write something so false about our company
and our team really took me by surprise, Im not sure who wrote it for sure,
but it seems like we tried to give them a chance without much experience just
like I was given.  We have hired many Quality Assurance reps lately; its not a job that needs a lot of past
experience so if someone shows up with a good attitude, we will likely give
them a job.  We always have the Quality Assurance agents go through sales training as they are responsible for
monitoring the sales people, without this experience its hard to judge their performance.

The economy is Las Vegas is one of the worst hit in the entire nation and 411 Locals has hired over 50 Las Vegas residents this year alone and we continue to grow.  This is an extremely stable company that has been around since 2007, and 411 Locals has been the name we have used for that entire time, we have used the name 411 Service for our customer service department, but we have never not been 411 Locals. We have thousands of happy, loyal customers and we have a huge team of employees that love their jobs. I always recommend with an open heart the services and jobs of 411 Locals to my friends and family. This is a great company and I thank God every day that I can provide for my wife and 3 kids because of the chance the owner gave me.

Thank you 411 Locals,
I love being a part of the 411 family!
