I signed up for a Monster account a long while ago, and my email address escaped into the ether where it’s impossible to get your address removed from these mailing lists.
I recently received the following email looking looking to fill a new position. See what you think:
Successful candidate will be responsible for: full operations of store, hiring, training and managing staff, daily deposits, weekly reports, promotional signage and marketing, customer service. Candidate will be the owner of the store and be responsible for State, Federal Licenses', Tax ID numbers, State Sales Tax ID, DBA Certificate, State Resale Tax ID#, and business Bank Accounts. All store materials, merchandize, and set-up instructions will be provided and shipped to the store location. Operator/Owner can expect to make up to 12-16% of daily sales. The operator is responsible for sales tax, payroll funding, staff management, labor costs including workers compensation insurance, business insurance. Operator is responsible for store set-up, packing-up/tearing down of store and returning the store fixtures and merchandise to the home office. The transportation/shipping expense of this transfer is covered by the Company. Payroll for labor is the owners' expense. The Company is responsible for negotiating lease space, paying rent, paying utilities, and some limited expenses. Merchandise and Inventory are sent directly to store location with set-up instructions.
Is that actually a job?
So basically, this person sets up some kind of “store” using a system that sounds like an erector set. This set is shipped to them at the location where the “store” will be set up.
Then, they sell everything out of that “store” on commission, and if anyone helping them expects to get paid, they aren’t paid by the company, they’re paid by the “store owner”. Is this Amway or something?
Is this the kind of quality job listing that Monster allows access to their mailing list?
