I went for my second interview yesterday, walk all day door to door, at the end they offer me a job but know I don't know what to do? Start today

Don't take the job, it's all commission based and not what you actually think.
They're taking advantage of you and will expect you to own your very own branch of the company like a slave in future.
Drop it and seek a better job, they're not worth it and are only laughing at you.

Alright, I stumbled upon all these comments whilst I was on my way to my second interview with 'quintet group' today. Honestly it is the biggest waste of your time. They say to dress in business attire and I did, by wearing a pencil skirt and heels, blouse & blazer. Then they walked me and this guy out (2 mile walk we worked out!!!) to do house calling on behalf of charities. I actually asked this guy Mo about this forum of angry people and he said he didn't know why everyone was slating the company, and I didn't either, up until he said that it's all commission and it's about 10 hours per day, 6 days a week for a possible earning of £200. I've got to say STAY AWAY, my feet were and still are hurting so so much and it's not worth it, I should have listened to this post and I will spread awareness of their company because it's a load of rubbish, the job and everything. They say they want to progress and expand but really they mean that you train for them like slave labour and in about 6-12 months they ship you off to some county where you'll be the manager of another office for quintet group.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Went for the first interview yesterday, alarm bells went off purely due to to how quickly I got put through, within 2 days of sending my CV.

After eventually finding Quintet tucked away in the corner of merchants court, I walked in and was greeted by a girl about my age who had her [***] hanging out of her leggings and was wearing a low-cut top with a burberry scarf.

After a short wait I was pulled through into a tiny room, greeted by a gangly black guy in specs who was clearly putting on a posh voice, may of been Mo as someone mentioned, and a tall skinny blonde bloke.

The "interview" really just consisted of him frantically scribbling on a bit of paper and winking at me, flirting with me  without really actually interviewing me. At one point I mentioned I applied for the army and was waiting for my role to open up to which he started rambling on about how he was in the SAS and killed dozens of people etc.. And on the way out he had the cheek to try and put his arm around my waist, to which I quickly pushed him off me.

Anyway got the email at 4:30 saying well done second interview etc.. (Which I would of been at now) however after seeing this forum won't bother attending, however my dad and uncle work in the city and will be attending their office to have a word next week.

Thanks everyone who has saved me a day with these people.

Please report them on Reeds as its where the seem to get most referrals. I've not had experience personally but I've had to have awkward chats with two friends directing them to this review page.

have a read

Right I am suppose to go back Monday for a second interview but after seeing this forum I am not entirely shocked about it as it all weighs up now! Really don't think I will be attending! So annoyed because I thought it may of been a reasonable job but must be a SCAM!

Can somebody reassure me that it is this bad as I can't quite believe it!!

@Louise_Waller

I came back to post because they've sold my details on, been getting dodgy texts and phone calls from withheld numbers, noticed my my last comment calling her out on being a coke addict and being known for threesomes at 6th form.

I know you two read this, just to let you know Lewis I saw you walking down Magdalen St towards the car park, if I wasn't of on the bus I'd of given you a good pasting, but I'm sure I'll see you about and I'll get another chance.

And Louise, I'll ask my friends more about you and find out who your parents are and inform them of what you do, what goes around comes around.

The following companies are alter linked, advertising all over the place for the same jobs

Quintet Group
Iconic Strategies
AGM

Avoid ALL of them. A reputable company would not need to use so many names. I had an interview there & Lewis Morton would not even give his surname, Morton Solutions have a very poor rep in Norwich as an employer

They also seem to be using the name SRL recruitment to get people in.

Hi Guys/gals
Wow Read all of these comments im meant to go for a interview tomorrow aswell but alarm bells started rininging in my head today after geting the phone call for the interview
Let me explain

A month ago i was looking for a job and came across CV library im sure most people have heard of it if your seeking work and saw Quintet Group looking for sales staff, so i applied for this and lots of other jobs
A woman called louise called me up and told me that my CV stood out from the rest and that i have more experience then most of the other people who applied and to come in for a interview and it sounded like she was reading from a phone call script as ive worked in call centres and i could just tell that what it sounded like
i.e telling me that im lucky to get offered the job etc

anyhow few days later another company in my local area offered me a job so i thought Traveling back and fouth to Norwich via public or walking 5mins down the road so this local job near my home how much money i would save from local transport
So i never bothered getting back to Quintet Group to arrange a interview and took this other job
Few months later i got layed off due to it was only a few months work and then noticed a job on CV library from Iconic Strategies
This woman called Olivia called me up and strange enough she said word for word what that louise person said i thought
ALARM BELLS.
And then going back to my email from louise i noticed this came from the  Quintet Group and had the same address i thought how strange i know Norwich quite well and never seen this company and either my friends who live in that part of the city have never heard of them
Ended up checking the facebook pages out for Iconic Strategies and few people said in the reviews it was a scam

After reading the comments here, Im glad im not going to bother going to the interview tomorrow and not waste my day,

I think im going to set up a blog with all the information from here and try to warn people
Have to say i feel sorry for the people who got took around Norwich in locations which was new to them and ended up getting lost or stuck there and in the bad weather
I was jumping with joys after i got the call to say i sound a good choice for this job after getting laid off and now finding out its a scam. Omg i feel stupid but i want a job so bad. I prob would of went to this interview and wasted my time and would of knocked my  self esteem so much
Thank you to all the people who took time to write comments about this company and to warn people.

Please anyone who reads this, please post as much details as possible if you go to this company or get contacted from them as i would to post all this onto a blog and post the link and try to warn as many people as possible to STAY AWAY from them
Or email me with your bad experiences at so i can upload as much detail as possible to my blog page and warn people

Seriously though, why not just advertise under one job title? Reed is polluted with so many positions for Quintet Group, Iconic Strategies and AGM. And WHY have three companies under one address? That is obviously going to breed suspicion, i.e. this forum and personally I am all for outing these dirty tactics of job advertising.

AGM - ICONIC STRATEGIES - QUINTET GROUP = all one huge scam, under one roof, under one address.

Spread the word people, and if they make up another name, we will expose that too and the dirty tactics these so-called businesses carry out to lure people in to apply. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, then it really is!

You are chewed up and spat out.  You are self-employed, working 6 days a week 12.00 - 10.00 (latest) working around Norwich and Norfolk, paying your own way. If you enjoy Sales, and this nature of work, I'd suggest Home Fundraising. The hours are quite similar, but they pay you £7.00 an hour.

And let us not forget good ol' Morton Solutions aka Quintet Group. Ahaha. Oh poor, poor Lewis MORTON. Same old name, same old useless pile of [***] being fed to the masses.

Quintet Group is now masquerading as AGMNORWICH. Another scam, another name.
Website:http://agmnorwich.co.uk
Tel: 07415 347361
basically your average, run-of-the-mill paid for website.
Ahahaha: "Our Managing Director used to work as a talent-scout in the music industry" now that is one way to describe yourself Mr. Moreton. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled folks. You'll see a lot more AGM job posts up on Reed instead of Quintet Group.

AGMNorwich = Scam. Scam. Scam.

They're advertising Student Jobs, Gap Year Jobs, Graduate Jobs and Young Trainee Positions on Indeed.co.uk.

http://www.indeed.co.uk/rc/clk?jk=dd04992314f86d57

TO ALL STUDENTS, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT AN INTERVIEW WITH ICONIC STRATEGIES AKA QUINTET GROUP AND MORTON SOLUTIONS! YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE WORTHY OF A FAR BETTER JOB ROLE! THEY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE LOWEST SCUM OF THE EARTH!

Well why don't we arrange a date and all meet up and bombard their office so they know it's not on.... Show the b******s they are making enemy's

My interview for a Trainee Salesperson at AGM Norwich was supposed to be in two hours, however whilst trying to research the company I found this blog/forum.

I have just emailed them the following email:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir/Madam,

I regret to inform you that I will not be attending my interview today at 14:00.

Attempting to research your company I discovered a blog/forum:
https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01603230186/4

This certainly does not paint your company in a good light and if any of the information on this blog is true it does not sound like a company I wish to work for.

Thank you for your time,

Regards,

    Elliot

Thank you to the creator of this page and all the people who have submitted threads.
You have saved me an afternoon, that can now be better spend looking for legit places to work!

Looking at what i have seen above i will not be going to my interview tomorrow.

I spoke to reed and they said they have no information on that company as they are just advertising on ther website.

Norwich city council couldn't help either as they can only find out feedback from business that sell food.

Norfolk county council - This girl on the phone said that she had applied to a similar job to a similar company in the SAME place.. but she didnt go as it seemed like a scam. She told me to check on Company House - apparently this will show Legit companies in England. Agm Norwich are not listed there.

Mo was the person who called me. Also If you check the website Mo is the only contact (His number: 07415347361), Check the facebook page and its most about Mo. Who is Mo?.. Looking at the above comments Mo seems like a prick.

I done some further research on them, and i think there business(scam) could stretch as far as cardiff and belfast. It seems as if they have opened and closed a few Marketing companies down there.
AgmNorwich.co.uk  is registered at:
