I just had a job interview them... Seemed pretty legit and interesting.

I googled the woman who interviewed me and her name came up with some sketchy scam reporting websites in reference to CK & Associates and SMA International.

Has anyone heard anything about Payment Alliance International?

Oh, and they just merged with AdvanceMe, which gives working capital loans to businesses and takes the monthly loan payment from the merchant's credit card receipts.

If I had to guess, you will be cold calling businesses and trying to sell working capital loans.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

From what I've gathered I'll be doing outside b2b sales.

I just bought an ATM from them, I think. They seemed pretty great from a customer service point of view--but we'll see what happens if the ATM breaks or something.
