Unless I'm missing something, the entire product and purpose of the Dave Ramsey company is their financial courses, which they claim are from a Christian perspective, and they certainly sprinkle Bible verses throughout for flavor.
"Knowing the thing the company you're considering working for is literally all about" doesn't seem terribly unreasonable to me as a requirement for a position. Would you find it odd for a car dealership to require a driver's license for a car salesman position, or "having driven a car in the past"?
I'm just a bit confused that you would get so far as to interview for a position with them, without realizing that their entire product is "faith-based financial courses."
- joombaga 5y agoWell this was an IT position. If a car dealership had those requirements for an IT position then yes, I would find that odd. I knew what the product was, but I didn't know about the course requirement. At the time I needed to balance my personal ethics and comfort level with the need to improve my financial situation and mental health. Interviewing was a good way to evaluate if the job would do so, and getting the interview was not as much effort as I think you're implying. Edit: I should say that I did not find the course requirement _super_ odd. Maybe it's standard for companies with this type of product. But it was too odd for me personally. None of my previous employers have required me to use their products, and I've objected any time they got close. Perhaps that is a privilege.
