I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vital Acquistions in Nov 2023
Interview
They set up a meeting on Monday 11/7 which no one attended, They texted me with what seemed to be a bot saying: Did you make it on? and after that they wouldn't reply. They texted me the next day saying they had some wifi issues and tried to reschedule. Exact same thing happened, no one opened the zoom meeting, I received the text message with the "Did you make it on? and no replies after that.
Dear Reviewer,
We are sorry to hear that this occurred as obviously this should never happen. We will definitely dive into what happened here to see how we can rectify moving forward. Again, we are so sorry this is unprofessional and should not happen throughout the interview process. We understand that scheduling issues sometimes come up when running a business and since our CEO conducts the interviews this may have been what occurred here; however, this by no means is a viable reason. Thank you for letting us know of this so we can rectify. We wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.

Interview
A complete scam. They send emails and text messages to set up a group interview. Once I ignored the group interview request, they contacted me again and did not mention that the interview would be in a group. The interview provided a lot more information about this scam , in that they pay you minimum wage and you do not get to keep your commission.
Dear Reviewer,
We have to admit we are a bit confused by this response. When applicants get reached out to by our firm it is because they applied in the first place. Typically when a potential employer reaches out to an applicant who applied they will continue to do so over a several day period unless the applicant has expressed disinterest. Furthermore, we offer a competitive guaranteed base salary and bonuses which you do get to keep provided you hit a commissionable rate. Nothing about a base with bonuses makes a company a scam, maybe do some research on different styles of pay for sales companies before you jump to calling a legitimate firm a scam for having a pay style you just may have never seen before. We wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vital Acquistions (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
One of the first things they talked about was how much money you can make here. However, from asking questions and whatnot, it wasn't clear exactly how they made the money. It appeared as if they met at an office at 8am, congratulated each other on their accomplishments, then drove over to Costco to stand outside and sell... something. I don't think the people working here are bad, so to speak, but the business seemed a bit too sketchy, so I didn't pursue a second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There wasn't much questioning, but they had the classics of "Tell me about a time you took leadership" and all that. There was more of a focus on the company, instead of Vital Acquisitions getting to know me and my credentials for the job.
Dear Reviewer,
We're sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us as of course that is not our intention. We would like to clarify that we work within local retailers as a third party not outside of them without authorization as your review implies. Corporations spend decades trying to get contracts with these retailers so working inside of them is not something that should be easily dismissed neither is the clients that we work with. The way we make money is from the revenue generated by the new customer acquisition that we generate for our clients. From the nature of your response it seems as if you may have been expecting a corporate role of which this is not. It is sales and marketing with an entrepreneurial spirit and it is not for everyone and we understand that. We wish you best of luck on your job search and thank you for your feedback!
