National Auto Academy-Chris Ripoff Alert Pennsylvania Nationwide

 Applied for a job listing off of the Dodge /Chrysler /Jeep dealer in Danbury CT. The posting was on Indeed and listed the other 2 dealers in Danbury as well. I was contacted for an interview from a Pennsylvania company saying they were retained to setup the interview . I went to the dealership for the interview and was surprised that there were like 8 other people there as well. Chris interviewed me in about 15 min and told me I got the job and to report for training the next day. Training for these 3 days was unpaid but I was told I had the job. Went to dealer the next day and 5 other people were in the class which surprised me. At the end of day 2 we were all told that we had jobs but needed to pay $699 in order to take the company's product knowledge training for upcoming weeks but we would get the $699 reimbursed after 90 days. We were told the company did so to retain staff. After we gave Chris our info we completed the final day of training and interviewed with the short sales manager LB who said they were just running a background and license check and we could officially start once it came back. After no call the next week, I called the dealer and spoke to LB who informed me the position was filled. Chris did not work for the dealership he was a salesman for the auto academy . Total bait and switch scumbags who take advantage of people who are looking for a job and can't really afford the money. Avoid National Auto, danbury Dodge, danbury Kia and Danbury Hyundai at all costs. Scumbag operation .
