Description

I applied for what was posted as a "Business Development Trainee" position by Skyline Promotions. This was posted on Indeed.com. It was posted as an entry-level position with plenty of training and growth included, a 58,000+ annual salary, and based in Berkeley. I then got an email from a QZ Solutions asking to meet for a first interview. I accepted, and was in a zoom call with the assistant hiring manager and several other prospective employees while they explained how the "training program" worked. They said the training lasts a few months, then slowly works up through several different manager roles, and the goal is to eventually result in an executive manager role. They also stated their biggest client is doing marketing and outreach for California government agency, California Lifeline: Truconnect. I was then asked to do a second interview at their office. I was once again explained how the "program" is like in the first information session. I later learned through research that their client isn't actually Truconnect, and that they make their employees sell phones. They are lying about working for a government agency, and feeding on the poor, and disenfranchised by selling shitty phones outside of Walmarts and Grocery Outlets. Truconnect phones are supposed to be free. I was offered the position and declined because of the fact they're a scam. I have already reported to Truconnect, but QZ Solutions or whatever they are needs to be stopped. They are a serious pyramid scheme in the truest definition.
