Serves me right for being suspect but not really looking into it. When I received a call for an Interview, I was informed that it was business casual. So i brought out my nice dress pants, a nice shirt...the works. Only to arrive at the office and find one gentlemen wearing cargo shorts, a t-shirt that did not fit, and sandles. I was one of 4 people in the office waiting for an interview. A few times, employees would walk by and giggle, saying "wow hes already got a line up, He's gonna be tired today." 20 Mins after my alloted time had passed. A man approached and asked, "I think you are next, right?" which led me to believe there was no schedule set up in the first place. My Interviewer, who shared the same name as me, would not let me get a word in edge wise. 30 mins of him glorifying door to door sales. Not once was I asked about my previous experience in security. I strongly urge anyone looking for work, or any companies looking for security coverage, to avoid this company. Wish I found this today before going into my interview.

What a foolish thing to say. I guess thousands, if not millions, of sales people in real estate, pharmaceuticals, advertising, cars and so many other industries are all involved in scams then? I am curious what you feel the 1% would be doing that WEREN'T involved in a scam. Pure Ignorance on your part. Thats one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever heard. 99% are scams???

They are currently under investigation. Now as for Security Concepts, they are an accredited business with 100% commission based pay, which is legal.

Puts a lot of pressure on the aspiring salesperson to known and research the product, market and methods of prospecting, presenting and closing people. Its a rough tough business, in that it is completely unsuitable for most people. While a few do amazingly well. And the price they pay seems to be HIGH TURNOVER and the constant need for "fresh meat" for the grinder.
