    Thanks.

    It sounds like some kind of call center. The review makes makes me think of something between the movie Boiler Room and a door-to-door Filter Queen vacuum salesman. I googled it and got this on the first page from a former account executive:
    Cons – Door to Door sales, especially now in the winter
    VERY Unprofessional
    Awful location
    Teach you to lie to customers

    Advice to Senior Management – Stop lying and developing young professionals into criminals

    Seems like it's a pretty social place from their FB feed:

    http://www.facebook.com/MotorCityManagementGroup

    They and their employees are out and about all over the place.

    Is this a rush of new employees pending to be paid, say less than six month worth of time salary ala active payrolls? I like to see the long view of staff not the sudden crush.

    I hadn't heard of this shop, but consulting jobs appeal to people who are comfortable being on the run/aiding companies etc and not glued to the same cubicle year round. There likely will be opportunities for travel etc.

    I would focus on lead generation in your questions. Coming into their company, what projects would you be working on in the next six months? Whose responsibility is it to drum up new business, that of the consultant or the senior manager/parter? What methods do they use to grow the business? What are the learning opportunities? CPE? etc.

    Think of interviews being about you peppering them with questions about their business model - not you responding to behavior questions starting with tell me about a time when someone wasn't pulling their weight. Those are the companies you should run from in an interview.

    I'd be very leary to move from NYC to Dearborn for a job that appears to have been in business for less than half a year unless they're offering a huge sign on bonus. It says it's a "new branch", but there's no other branches listed in the motor city. http://www.motorcitymanagementgroup.com/

    Yes, be careful! There's tons over-night consultants, PR and 'marketing' entities and folks running scams and commission-based 'fantastic business opportunities'. There are certain hallmarks of this kind of thing; like 'group' interviews and promises that are far to good to be true!

    If you email someone your resume on a Saturday and they respond on say Sunday evening it's usually a scam. Legitimate companies respond to employment emails M-Friday. Legit companies and agencies rarely discuss salary figures via email having not seen you.

    Take company name and add the word 'scam' or 'fraud', then google it. That kind of search can be very revealing.

    Make sure they have a real domain address with their email, not just 'who-hahs-dynamic-business-solutions@gmail.com!
