I truly believe that a lot of them mean.... "Entry level - WITH OUR COMPANY - not entry level in their job category.
It usually means that you are going to work your butt off, get NO respect and earn a pittance.

If you are going to work your butt off, get reated like crap and get paid crap, then take the job and keep looking. When you get another offer, leave the first job. You at least have some money in your pocket while looking for work.
And yea, "entry level" is a euphemism for very low pay.
I flagged the ad as prohibited and suggest you either do the same or contact the company with your thoughts about their laundry list of demands vs. their entry level compensation.
Of course they do. It meaans no training, just throw you into the deep end. Seriously though, it means that they want you to have sufficient experience to work on your own with little pay incentive.
They want experienced wage slaves who will run the business while the boss takes the profit and gives the middle finger to the slave. Yea dream on. Dream on.
It's companies trying to rope college kids into working for free. Heck, I've even seen 'unpaid internships' offered at companies that should have absolutely no problem offering at least some kind of payment.
When I was in college in the mid 90s, all of the jobs on the board had some kind of pay. It usually wasn't very much, but they didn't expect you to work for free like they do now.
I got hired as "entry level" even though I'd worked as a receptionist in a physical therapy office doing insurance verifications and collections. I am doing a/r collections for the company's sleep lab area. I got exactly 1/2 hour to be shown what area's I need to "click" in for the programs and off I was sent. 10hr to call on phones for 7 1/2 hours a day. The cheap SOB owns 13 companies-has 16 sleeplabs-and the sleep end brought in 17 million last year. He's so cheap he squeaks. I am applying anywhere else I can-hopefully something will come in soon-we've been having to pick and chose what bills to pay. These people will get theirs someday.

One would hope so, but probably not
Whats really frustrating is that with the new way of doing business, it makes it very hard for someone out of their 20's to switch careers.
