Interview email rec'd (Knoxville, TN) - What's up???

Apr 11, 2008 Cornerstone America complaint by Jobey21 |

|
Page 1 of 2 I have seen several reviews on this site about Cornerstone America in various areas throughout the country. The emails people have posted have been identical, and I received on this morning at 1:51 am. To me, the receipt time is a red flag. (I mean, who is reviewing online resumes in the middle of the night, and if they really are having to work in the middle of the night, I don't want to work there.)
There is obviously something "fishy" here but what? What is their goal? Is it a pyramid scheme? How do we know? Has anyone out there actually gone to one of these interviews? I almost want to go, just to see what they're up to, but then again, I'm very seriously looking for a new career path and don't want to waste precious time.
I'd love to hear if anyone has actually gone in to meet w/ Mr. Roberts (Knoxville, TN) to see what occurred.
Thanks all...and good luck in each of your job searches!

I received the very same email, it stated how my qualifications were what they were looking for !?!?!?!? My qualifications state nothing to do with this line of work, is this or is this not a scam? Do you have to pay to actually work?? I am looking for work to make an income not to pay to have an income.

Another thing, they pay you upfront for a policy that might not be issued and reward you for turning in so much business. Which you will probably have to pay the company back if you leave. The company forces you to sell to anyone just to make a buck. I made good money when I worked for them. However, after I stopped "drinking the coolaid" did I realize what a terrible person I have become. Selling to anyone, just to get paid. DON'T do this!! Contract with real health companies. Will be back later with other comments.

I was a Cornerstone America agent for awhile. Their sister company is UGA. Both with the same scam. You can make money if you truly feel the health insurance is the best for the client. Unfortunately, the so called "insurance" ***! If you want to sell insurance, sell the real stuff and feel better about yourself.

Why shouldn't we be upset?
My resume clearly says that I am an Interaction Designer, not a salesman and in no way would I ever entertain a sales position. Plus I received two duplicate emails in under 24 hours.
I (and just about everyone else) use job site to receive legitimate job opportunities that are targeted to my skills and interests not to be targeted by random pyramid scheme spammers.
You scammers posting in support are pretty dang transparent. There is more than enough evidence on the web that clearly shows your "business" isn't on the up and up. What reputable company asks the interviewer to pay them in order to work? None.
You can keep your Amway (2.0) lies about how much money you are making. We've heard it all before.

I went to the interview and was hired. There were 5 of us that interviewed and only 2 were hired. I made 1200 my first week. I have been there for 3 weeks now and have not brought home under 1000.00

I got one as well. Same guy. I interviewed 2 years ago for an insurance company to recruit for them. They wanted me to use every available source to round up people to sell insurance for them. I was to corral them into a group meeting with the "Sales Mgr" then narrow down interested prospects after mtg. Must be same idea.

Greetings all. I am an active agent with Cornerstone and have been since 2003. The company is not a scam, exactly the opposite. It has been the most rewarding career path. The 1099 this year was well over six figures. For the skeptics out there, come in and meet with Gary before passing judgement.

Greeting all. I am a licensed agent with Cornerstone America and have been since 2003. This company is not a scam, it has been the most rewarding career choice I have ever made. For the record out 1099 was well over 6 figures as a single senior agent. To the skeptics out there come in and meet with Gary and see what our company is all about.

I went to the interview on the 15th with Gary Roberts. It's not a scam. I am in the middle of my pre-licensing classes and I will soon be starting work. You don't have to apply for the job. That's why you post your resume isn't it.. For people to read? Sending an email was part of the recruiting process. How else would people like us know about them??
You really shouldn't judge blindly. Try going to an interview before acting like a jack ***.

I got one and I live in Columbia, TN but my interview was for Brentwood but I have no intentions of going. What is up with this company? Is this some sort of scam? Do they even know that hundreds of people are getting these interveiw invites? I am not even in sales and I got one... LOL!
