I applied online, and I was contacted by the recruiter by email within 2 days to set up a phone interview. During the phone interview, the recruiter did not know the commission plan offered for this sales role (she stated this sales role is base salary + commission). She wanted to know my salary expectations yet she did not have any explanation or details on the commission plan and how much the commission factored into the total compensation for this role. The recruiter then tried to explain about their "Excellent" benefit package and said that they offered 401K. I asked when the 401K would be vested? She did not know the meaning of the word vested and I had to explain to her what vesting means. She did not understand that some 401K plans are vested immediately and some plans are vested over years of service with the company, depending on the plan. She had no idea about this information or what the word vested meant, yet she was trying to tell me about their wonderful benefits. There was no company car or car allowance provided for a sales role which requires 50-75% travel over multiple states. This is completely unacceptable. I have worked in sales for other companies and most other companies either provide their sales people with a company car or provide a monthly car allowance/stipend to cover mileage, and expenses on the car. I declined proceeding further with the position as I was not willing to put excessive miles on my personal car for business travel without being properly re-imbursed. Clearly this company doesn't even know how to operate professionally or the benefits it is offering, or the recruiter doesn't know how to explain its benefits properly. I would not want to work for such an unprofessional, dis-organized company.
