Myself and a friend thought the opportunity at TCE sounded like a great deal. I interviewed first. The interview took all of 5 minutes. I drove 45 minutes in rush our traffic only to find a run down suite in a run down building. I walked in and there were at least 20 other people waiting to be interviewed. They had me fill out an application which consisted of only contact info. I gave that back to the receptionist along with my resume. I waited for about 20 minutes and finally was taken back for my interview.

The owner, Brian, had an interior office with no windows and it was obviously not used very often. He explained to me that this was only a preliminary interview, asked where I see myself in 2-3 months, and asked if I had any questions. I asked what exactly I would be doing if I got the management position. He never gave me a straight answer.

I asked a series of questions, none of which were clearly answered. I asked about salary; he said $40,000-50,000+.

I was excited about this. After my five minutes of question asking he told me I would receive a call after they review all of the candidates and at a time closer to my graduation date.

My friend interviewed the next week and was able to start immediately. The second interview is an all day "evaluation". What this all day thing consisted of was standing in front of a Sam's Club pedaling trinkets to those shopping there.

He was told his salary was based on sales and after 2-3 weeks, when he became a manger, he would have to train other people to sell these trinkets and he would get a portion of their sales. Can anyone say scheme?!

After his day there, he was brought back to the office and was told to fill out some other forms. He was then brought in to see the hiring manager. This person told him that she has never had someone perform so well and that she might get int trouble for doing this, but she had to offer him the job right away; he was their top candidate in the past year.

After doing some research to help settle our suspicions, we found other reports on ripoffreport.com and everything began to make sense. They wasted our time and hundreds of other people's time no doubt. He did not accept the position.

Two weeks later I was contacted by Brian and I was told I was their top candidate. How could I be their top candidate when all he did was ask me where I see myself in 2-3 months? I simply told him I had accepted a position with another company. He immediately said, "Oh, okay. Goodbye." and hung up.

It is interesting to me, that if I was their top candidate, he wouldn't ask about the position I took or try to convince me to consider otherwise. He didn't even have the respect to say a proper goodbye.

Do not pursue anything with this "company"!!

To whom this message may concern;

Those of us who seem to lack vision, you are in for a RUDE awakening. Twin City Events, INC. is a very reputable company who has joint venture in helping childrens charities. If you fail to realize their mission, you should not even set foot in the door. Think about it. If D.A.R.E. America, Toys For Tots, or any other CHILDRENS charity put their stamp of approval on what they do, don't you think they have lawyers involved? Don't you think their had to be some sort of investigation in order for that business to be there? If they are in a run down building, then they are humble. which is something necessary for giving money to charity. They are not looking for a "child" like mentality. They are not looking to put someone in management in 2-3 weeks.. that was a misunderstanding. I know Brian and Valentina very well, and i can GUARANTEE you that information was NEVER passed.

Jobs like this are set for strong minded people.. and if you lack the courage, capability, or the strength to step up to the plate, or if you lack the reason which is necessary to stand at a table.. you should back off. You honestly think these guys want to stand at a table selling disney books, looney toon coloring sets, or t-shirts for the rest of their lives? no.. i think not. they merely have a goal, and they found a way to achieve that which they desire.. even if it does not start off candy coated. Anyone interested in achieving goals, learning how to manage themselves on a professional level, and learn how to build a strong character... I encourage you to give them a call.

One more thing. If you are not willing to put your name on a report, you shouldn't even try to spread negatives over the internet. If you lable your reports, letters, or blogs as "anonymous" or any name thats is anything other than your own, you should not be trusted in spreading information. I wish you the best everybody in East Coast Events and i will see you when i return from Iraq.
