I received an email from one of Trelevate's recruiters on a Thursday afternoon. Upon contacting her, I was asked to interview the day we spoke (which I though was unusual). Honestly, I was skeptical about the process moving so quickly. However, I was not about to disregard and opportunity becuase it seemed unconventional. And, I'm glad for it. I met with my current marketing manager, texted him when I arrived, and interview with him for over an hour. Besides asking standard interview questions, he explained who Trelevate is, their history and what we do, and importantly, the base and commission structure, bonuses, work-life balance, and the opportunity for growth. At the end of my interview, I asked him to take chance on me, and they did. They made an offer the following day,

This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. Don't be fooled by the attractive website and Glassdoor reviews because this place is a scam. Their office is literally a single office room without windows. The interviewer felt nervous and uncomfortable the whole time which made the interview awkward within the first few minutes. There was no charm or warm culture feel that the website suggest. If you look at all of the available positions on Trevelate's website, you will notice that business development rep's, sales consultants, and outside sales positions all of the same vague job description. They don't want to tell you that they are all the same job and you will actually be a sales representative for Ooma until you're in their "office". Called calls. You're not contracted by a company to build their sales team, you are the sales team. You can make more and work less by Ubering or serving at a restaurant.
