Description

I have been looking for a job. I received an email to join for an interview. It was very basic. Company Meeting/Interview Hosted by Jacob (Founder) Was the subject of the email invite. I should have been aware when during the meeting the screen of “Jacob” never responded to my questions in the chat. The meeting went over how they were looking for entry level applicants and do not believe in common corporate structure. He told a story of a woman who got a job just so she could retire from it and was fired months before she was able to retire because the company had a bad year. Jacob stated multiple times how awful it was and their company is different. We were told we would all be hired for the position. We did need to be insured with travel agent insurance for errors prior to completing the training. Once we paid for the monthly fee of insurance coverage travelagentinstitute.com is the website provided. After payment I received a link to training but no other contact or information has been provided.
