I'm writing this report to alert potential GSM employees to beware of this organization. Last May (2004), I was telephoned by a representative of GSM about leaving my employer and coming over to GSM. The rep sounded as if she was in a room with hundreds of telemarketing reps which made me suspicious. She said that my thirteen years of working in the incentive marketing industry (a little bit of consulting) made me a perfect match for an "Executive Analyst" position. She set up a time for me to meet with someone at their HQ in Park Ridge, IL.

I decided to google the company (and boy was it smart that I did) to find out everything that I could about how they work. Being from the incentive marketing industry, I was trained that before meeting with anyone, do your homework and be as informed as possible about how they operate. I could not find one source of positive feedback about the organization anywhere on the web. The only source of outside information that I found was on RipOffReport.com.

I became more and more angry as I read the myriad of reports that were filed by ex-clients and ex-employees about their business practices. I decided that when I met with this "Executive" on my interview day, I would present a dossier about the extremely negative data that I collected.

When my interview was at hand, I visited the GSM HQ and was told that I would have to wait at least 45 minutes to see the "Executive" that was supposed to interview me. I politely told the receptionist that "my time is valuable and if this person does not present himself soon that I would be leaving."

She called the executive who told her that there was no changing his schedule and that I would have to wait. I told her that there was no point in waiting and I would be leaving. I gave my dossier to her and instructed her to present it to the executive who was supposed to interview me and to call me if there was a time to reschedule. I promptly left and was never contacted again. What a suprise.

Please, Please, Please do your homework on this company. Check out as much information as possible before you decide to work for such an organization. Real consultants from Bearing Point, Accenture and the like are almost all MBA's and are not telemarketed for positions. This company gives real consultants a bad name.

BE CAREFUL!!!
