re: My experience Interviewing for Dave Ramsey

Additionally, the "culture" places pay like shite.

They had a lot of young, uneducated employees. They sold them on the "This is the best job you'll ever have." And they would go to church, tell people they worked for Dave Ramsey, and be treated differently. So they believed it.

As far as pay goes - they knew what the market was. They went up $20k on my offer immediately - they were just seeing how cheap they could get me. My working theory is that I was the desired employee from the get go, but with the offer coming three months after I "interviewed," they hired someone that didn't work out, but was cheaper.

I was told that in one year, they had 70 employees come and go. They had around 75 total employees at one time. The article I linked above is very telling, and there is a blog of a former employee that really emphasized the cultish atmosphere.

Like I said - theres nothing wrong with his get out of debt plan. He's made millions selling common sense. I'm glad that I dodged a bullet on the job, but I still cringe when I run across someone that is passionate about his stuff.
