I went in for an interview for the position entry level marketing coordinator and it was actually a sales position that is in a retail store. You stand in a booth and try to sell to customers in a retail store.

Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL MARKETING ROLE. For the interview process, it was fairly quick and they let you know the same day whether you move on or not. I made it to the second round but had to walk out after learning about their company. Their “marketing coordinator” role is essentially a sales position. Votion markets itself as a marketing company knowing that marketing is a very broad term. They are a sales company that implements one marketing tactic, direct face-to-face marketing (salesmen in store hassling shoppers about products). They are a sales company with a sales training program that they say is “marketing”. And their so called management career route depends on the success of the people you hire under you. Sounds all to similar to a pyramid scheme to me. I hate it when sales companies market themselves as marketers and waste traditional marketing job seekers time by sprucing up their job postings and website to look like a marketing company to “look better”. This is not the first time this has happened to me and Votion directly mirrors my past experiences on the matter.
