I was contacted over the phone for an interview shortly after applying via LinkedIn. At the time I was quoted a hiring salary range which I was comfortable with and I felt the job description was quite clear on the job advertisement. Upon arriving at the interview, I was given a long winded explanation of the job description which did not match the description advertised or discussed over the phone. The interviewer explained that salary would also be based on cold-calling and maintaining a certain percentage of successful calls a month in order to stay employed (the position advertised had nothing at all to do with sales), and this was typical for all employees in this office. I was also told that they had one other person who they were considering hiring if I didn't decide right away. Then the interviewer quickly added that the salary is actually $6 an hour less than what I was told over the phone and it was non-negotiable, though 'maybe' that could change in a year of working there. I was lied to over the phone by the same person who later interviewed me. I believe this tactic is called 'bait-and-switch' and is completely unethical. I would never have wasted either of our time attending this interview had I been told the truth over the phone. I stopped the interview there. My advice: Run for the hills! I refuse to work for a company who's standards are this unethical.

It was good. The interviewer made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. The questions that were asked of me were not too difficult. There was an overview of benefits as well.
