IPG Imports Aka DS Max Etc Lie, con, pressurise, hide the truth Glasgow Nationwide

I recently saw an advert on a job website offering 'Management Opportunities' and experience in 'Marketing, HR, Finance and Management' and earnings of 300 per week. This job sounded fantastic! I phoned the company up and spoke to a nice woman who asked what I was currently doing and invited me in for an interview.

The interview was quick and involved a chat with the manager, Tim, discussing what I wanted out of a job and where I wanted to be in 10 years time. He explained very little about the job only saying that I would get experience in Marketing, Finance, HR and Management. Still the job sounded good, I was a little suspicious of the fact that he wasn't explaining what I would actually be doing, but it still sounded good. He said he was impressed with me and wanted to invite me back for an assessment day.

The Assessment Day involved me turning up at their offices at 0930, filling out a questionnaire and watching the company video - the first time I heard the name DS Max. It was the usual corporate speech, how wonderful we are, how much our clients think of us etc etc. I was then introduced to my 'Trainer' and told we'd be going out of the office for the rest of the day. So my trainer, me and two new starts at the job piled into the trainers car, (her own car, she pays petrol, running costs etc and doesn't see anything wrong with that?!)and set off for an Industrial area on the South Side of Glasgow.

I couldn't believe it when my worst nightmare came true - we were going around business' selling absolute rubbish! 'Looney Tunes' colouring in books, world time clocks and manicure sets - the guys were practically forcing people to buy - it was so embarrassing.

The new starts at the job were so keen, they kept saying 'it's a fantastic job', 'it really suits me' and 'it's what I've always wanted to do'! I couldn't believe it - they'd been brain washed already! How could anyone think this was a good and normal job - it was awful.

The long day out eventually ended at about half past 6 when we headed back to the office. I was offered the job later on and decided not to accept it - thank God. The money and long term prospects sound fantastic - will they ever appear? at what cost would I take a job like that? The long hours mean no social life, and no friends, the poor money means you're tied to work - no money or time to do anything else.

Sites like these have made me aware of the con that DS Max and all it's co-companies are happily doing, BE AWARE! IPG Imports in Glasgow have offices throughout the UK and are constantly growing - DO NOT BE FOOLED.
