i recently interviewed for a position at a company and i am super confused as to what to do.i found the posting on Craigslist for a Marketing Assistant. it is an entry level position with chance for growth. just general office upkeep for now.i go to the interview. the spot is located on 41st and Broadway. i interview with 2 people. one of them tells me a little about the company but doesnt say much. they say they offer some sort advertising for start up companies.the place looks legit. the interview goes well. i dont think much of it because i figure the job isnt mine yet.so i get home and do some research on the company. NO INFO AT ALL. NO WEBSITE. NOT EVEN ONE THING COMES UP IN GOOGLE. only their address.am i being put on? is this a scam? is the company a shell for some other scheme? i dont know how to find out without asking them exactly what the deal is.any advice??its called ATG Ltd.

    Hit up the BBB, and hope your company wasn't formerly based in or around Clearwater, Florida.

    no place of that name at the BBB. and if there was i am sure it wouldnt be accredited.

    i am aware it could be a start-up company but cmon no website.

    thats like not having a telephone

    Just ask them directly what's up.

    If they are legit they'll respect you wanting to
    make sure, it's not like you'd be out of line.

    If they are suspect, they'll give you some BS answer
    or act asshurt, and then you will know.

    sounds like one of those companies who want you to walk around and sell knives and giant coloring books and shit. Dont do it!

    On the flip side. Any stock options? Getting in on the ground floor. If it hits..

    But yeah. Doesn't seem like something I'd put a ton of faith in.
