First stage interview was easy, simple questions about what motivates you and your values. Now this is where I'll tear them to shreds. Unprofessional company that sugar coat what they actually do, wasting your time and money so avoid like the plague. I was invited for a 2nd stage interview/observation day. They decided without any prior warning that they'd be driving me to Leicester in a cramped car. They took me to some ASDA, and left me in a room to write answers to some of their questions and come up with a business plan for about 2/3 hours. I asked more questions about the role when things didn't sound like how the role was described. So my interviewer finally showed me what a "marketing assistant" does and that's standing outside a supermarket with a poster trying to get customers to sign up to a different energy company. You know those people none of us can stand when we just want to get on with our shopping, so we avoid them or ignore them? Yeah.. After I said it's not for me and they were making out like It would be such a big loss and I'd be losing out, they told me I'd have to make my own way home. So I'm in a city I don't know and I'm not doing the best financially I have to spend extra money on public transport when they could've at least told me to drive to the location myself. Stay away from these "Marketing Assistants" job positions they're all the same.

I applied online and I heard back within about an hour. Alarm bells were immediately ringing for me, but keeping a professional manner I accepted the interview for the FOLLOWING day and vowwed to research the company online. And thank GOD I did! This role is NOT a marketing role - they will tell you it is ‘Direct Marketing’, this is a scam. Direct marketing is sales and not a nice form of sales. I experienced the same scam in London, you are invited to an observation day and find out you are selling Talk Talk outside big ASDAs or on street corners. It is a job that you NEVER want to accept, you will earn Commision ONLY and get no benefits, holidays or expenses paid to the locations as you are forced to sign a contract to say you are an “independent sales advisor”. Please I beg of anyone reading these Reviews to NEVER attend an interview at 27 Frederick Street. Blue Custard is not the only FAKE company operating in the same building, there are about 4 others. Look up Multi Level Marketing Schemes online and become well informed to totally avoid the company. Oh and all the positive reviews posted on here is clearly the managers asking employees to write glowing reviews.
