Kirkwood LAUNCH Chicago, Infinite Never tell you the job is door-to-door sales Des Plaines IL
Report Attachments
Kirkwood aka LAUNCH Chicago aka Infinite prey on ambitious recent graduates manipulating them through careful online reputation management and limiting information about day-to-day work. They're part of the Star Energy Partners network.
Positive reviews online are fake, created by the owner and founder, or the owner responds accusing the bad reviewer of being disgruntled or weak. All the photos of good culture are people who have managed to climb to the top of this sales pyramid.
Management never reveals that the job is door-to-door sales until you're being taken to a far off location, dropped off and left hours to make sales. You don't get to drive yourself. They depend on buzz words and the potential to become a manager to distract you from asking about the day-to-day. The work is 100% commission.
During the interview, they share few details about the work saying that their clients require discretion. All of the companies have openings on careerbuilder, glassdoor, and linkedin many different titles for the same job. They pay to have the jobs promoted because their business model depends on getting other people further down the pyramid to sell products and services like natural gas energy and telecom services.
They make dozens of job postings per month with different titles and locations, but it's all the same job.
