I received the email below today and then googled to do some more research on the company for the interview, but don't think i'll bother now?

Can you tell me the experience you had at SMA (Smiths Marketing Associates). They have asked me to come for an interview for a trainee manager position, but am a little concerned by all the negative feedback regarding marketing companies.

Thanks!

Anyone in Cardiff applying for a job, two of these companies work under the names 'MSG' and 'Progressive Global Training Ltd'.

I cant believe how many people feel like this! I just assumed that I was the only one who was ripped off!
I was in a rubbish job, and when I came across Arcedia Direct Wolverhampton, I was over the moon to be given an interview.
The interview was rushed as I was the last person in and I could tell he wanted to hurry things up.
The second interview involved sitting in a room, been given the answers and not even going into any kind of details.

So I start my new job! Yay!
As far as I know, its comission based but thats fine, because ''all you need is 3-5 sales a day to get promoted'' and come on, how easy is that!
They didn't tell me everything that I needed to know. I slowly found out bit by bit.
Firstly, if I set the direct debit too low, I didnt get paid the full amount. No one told me that.
Secondly, that some of my money went into a bond. No one told me that.
Thirdly, that I had to pay petrol to get to the places!! No one told me that.

I was promised riches and all I got was in debt!
Ofcourse, alot of people have done well and are making enough money, however, for the rest of us, this was completely misleading!
I just thank god I got out of there so I can start searching for a new job!

I am NOT a newbie on these forums by any means, but a relative of mine was CONNED into attending an interview at Smiths Marketing Associates in Glasgow recently.

They lied and said she was going for a different job, she had first interview, was called back, told that job had gone but they were interested in her for another role but didn't explain it until she was out on the streets apparantly to be trained in how to do 100% commission door to door sales.

This company is a con and people should BE VERY CAREFUL, especially where young girls are concerned because they appear to have absolutely no regard for the safety of these girls, and there was apparently a statement made by an employee that they should be prpeared to do "whatever" to get a sale - including going unaccompanied into peoples homes (make your own minds up what that means!)

DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR!!

I think RedFive based in Southampton is another Parker Worldwide company as its website says in very small print 'Red Five Solutions is a trading company of Parker Worldwide Ltd.'
Your site and the face book page have saved my teenager from geting any more involved in this company. Thank you.

bakers2000

Your right - Red five is Parker worldwide it has exactly the same web design/content/theory and the address the same too.
The problem with these companies is that they change address/owners/open new offices so much its hard to keep up with them.
