Question : Has anyone worked for 1st Empire Financial or had a home loan through them?
I am currently in talks about starting a career with them for an Office Manager position. After the first interview, I was very excited about the opportunity and thought this could be something that helps me start a fabulous career using my degree.

I since have done my background check, which I had to pay for ($ 100). The $ 100 is refundable AFTER becoming an Office Manager. It also is used as a security deposit, as I will be handling large sums of money in the form of checks. On the first day of training, I will be required to bring in $ 300 to pay for my business cards, name badge, car magnetic sign, etc. I will essentially be an independent contractor during some of my training for the office manager position. That $ 300 is also refundable once I become Office Manager.

My reason for asking this question is because I am not sure what to think about the opportunity. I will be paid 12/hr during training, which I am not sure what entails as training. I will be required to bring in prospects that are looking for loans in order to gain the experience with dealing with the loan process before moving to stage 2 of training, which will allow me to start talking about where I would like my Office to be located at.

They are a Loan Modification/financing company. I am just curious what some others think about this opportunity. Maybe some people that have gotten started with the trainee program for office manager and didnt turn out to be what they thought. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

you might want to check out what other companies new employee policies are. Three hundreds buck is a little high for office supplies, Is there a guarantee you get the job and keep it or just a guarantee they get $ 300. Check them out with the better business bureau and see how many complaints they have. I have just never heard of paying for that kind of job. I can see paying for your own business cards, but the rest is bull. does this guy own the printing shop.
