Choice Promotional Group/ 3W/ Titan/ Magnum/ CAM/ Platinum Promotions/ COR Concepts/ World Access Marketing Scam Artists who take advantage of college grads, stay far away as possible!!! Norristown Pennsylvania

If you are a college student beware of any of these companies, because they are all run by the same exact scam artists!!!!

Choice Promotional Group (CPG), 3W Marketing, Titan Marketing, Magnum Marketing, Spartan Management Team, CAM, Platinum Promotions, COR Concepts, World Access Marketing.

People to beware of: Josh Woodford, Brendan Boylan, Allison Crea, and their phone and e-mail manipulator, Tiffany Reyes.

These people are only looking to benefit themselves. They have job postings all over the internet under multiple listings and they make you feel as their job offer with be a great opportunity to any entry-level person in the marketing/advertising field. The title of the job description alone should have been enough warning, "Work with professional sports teams, top notch golf courses, hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues..." Everything in their advertisement is a lie!!!!!! This is exactly what their posting on CareerBuilder states, "CPG, Inc is a promotional advertising and marketing firm geared towards increasing revenues for our powerhouse clients, who range from professional sports teams, hotels and resort properties, golf courses, restaurants, and entertainment venues. We create and execute promotional print ad campaigns for these clients and convey the campaigns to each respective target market." For a job that sounds so great it's amazing that their only requirement is that you have excellent communication skills...Don't be fooled, I am warning you...don't think you will actually be working hands on with any major company for promotion....you will be doing degrating work that somehow must violate labor laws.

This is the experience I had, I'm a recent college graduate with a marketing degree and you can imagine how hard it is to find a job in such a competitive field. I was looking at job descriptions on CareerBuilder, when I came across this one for a promotional company known as CPG, Inc. ***1st warning*** they never once stated what those letters stood for, I had to go to the company website to actually figure this out...Then the next morning at 9am, I recieve a phone call from Tiffany Reyes says she recieved my resume and wants to interview me right away for the position and needed to come in at 4pm. ***2nd warning*** No job i have ever experienced will interview within 12 hours, no matter how good your resume is...So i drive over an hour to get to the beautiful business area in Norristown, PA, nothing shady about it until you're looking for "CPG, Inc." It looks as though they had just moved their or something or know that they will be in trouble soon and must pack right away...***3rd warning*** No name on the door or window, they have some cheap logos on the wall of the symbols for the NBA, NFL, MLB, and WB...the receptionists desk doesn't have any paper work except a computer and application sheets and a phone on her desk....While I was filling out my application, 2 more people within my age range came to apply for the same position ***4th warning*** how rude is it to have multiple people coming in and interviewing at the same time?? So I was first to go in and meet with Allison Crea, or what who I like to call, "the devil in disguise"....She is very perky and bubbly with a stern business look on her face... She will take you behind the double doors to the office area which is just a big empty room with a few small corner offices that just have desks and nothing else on them and probably in them...***5th warning*** Basically the only question she will personally ask you is so how was your drive here? and on a scale from 1-10 how would you rate yourself as a leader....***6th warning*** she will try and distract you with an advertisement they have created for the yankees or something...dont be blinded with it, it's just a distraction so you dont hear how you are going to be completely manipulated. The conversation was real short and then she tells you this ***7th warning*** "is going to sound to be good to be true" but this is how it works.. you will start at entry level then project coordinator, then team coordinator, then team leader all within 6 months and you want to train people to be just like you and replicate your work....***8th warning*** the "interview" ended after 15 minutes if that with her telling you that they are going to be reviewing all the interviews with the boss today and will give you a call at 5:30 to see if you will be invited back, because it is a very competitive position, and only 4 will be hired, and just to let you know about 20 people come in a day applying for the position. ***9th warning*** they tell you they will call at 5:30 but they make you sweat it out and get disappointed by the fact that they didnt call, but then call you like an hour or two later with great news that you will be invited back....***10th warning*** when you go back you have to stay their what they say is the whole day from 9-6pm and then you will find out if you recieved the position or not...

Well much to my belief this sounded to be good to be true...some research was done that night and i came across this site and many others stating the bad reputation this company has... they will change the name of the company every so often or even work under multiple names at the same time. they do not discuss pay or benefits with you at all, because they wait til the last minute to sucker you into finding out it's strictly comission from door-to-door sales...who does that anymore this isnt the 1950s????? they do not tell you about hours of work, because well basically they work you into the ground with over 12 hour shifts...they are the sneakiest people you will ever meet in your whole life.

So in my fury I tried calling them this morning to give them a piece of my mind and notify them that i will be reporting them...what do you know, there was no answer and when the voicemail picked up, it was a different company name....dont give these people the benefit of the doubt and be scammed, because they honestly dont care about you at all, they are money hungry kaniving, dishonest people who will be inprisoned someday.
