This is a number for Hague Quality Water. If you're reading this message, you likely saw the employment ad and took it upon yourself to check out the number first. Good call.
Most likely calls are regarding work as a "Water Tester" position with their company, which they try to pass off as exactly what it sounds like: testing water quality. After viewing their website directly, I noticed they prominently feature a link to "Be a Dealer." This was the point where I called back and asked directly, "Is this a sales position?" The woman hesitated before confirming that it was.
There are plenty of employee reviews available, and since I didn't get sucked in I won't detail second-hand experiences, but I suggest not wasting your time.
As far as the operations of the company itself, Hague has been successfully sued three times for a slew of unfair business practices, twice in Missouri and once in Pennsylvania. In each case, the court deemed it necessary to file injunctions against the owners that barred them from ever operating a business in the state.
They also hire plants, as many shady companies do, to go on websites and put in positive reviews of their operation. There is a forum on scam.com relating to this where one of these plants is revealed.
Hague is just another high-pressure marketing scam, taking advantage of both customers and employees.

I got a phone call today from them! They didn't even tell me what their company name was. They set me up for an appointment to fill out an application for a "Water Quality Tester" position. They said they got my resume on Career Builder, and since my field is Chemical Engineering it sounded like a reasonable fit for me. I looked up their address after the call and realize it was Hauge. DAS Mustafah is right - this is a sales job. You're not working in a lab analyzing water for a treatment plant or chemical company - you're testing water in people's homes and then doing demos to sell them Hauge's products. I'm glad I checked out the number here too. That would have been such a waste of time.
These guys also called me a few months ago and said they had an appointment opening in two hours. When I explained that I didn't have time then and tried to get a slot for the next day, they said they were full and needed to fill the position quickly. Nice try, HQW.
Some lady called me and keep asking if I am still looking for a job. She was speaking too fast and it was hard to understand her! She seem that she was rushing for the information she wants to hear from me. She say day got my resume off from career builder. I called a different number to make sure it is not a scam and the different lady can't provide the information about the company! Beware of others! This is not worth your time and do not provide any personal information off the phone because I had a bad feeling about the phone call!
