This company is a recruiting office for Scentura Creations sales people. I made it to the first and second interview because the company seemed to be legitimate, and I was really desperate for a job. After the first day of training, I began to question the company and the product that it sells, the people that it employs, and the methods that are used to market the "product". The company has no awards except the onces that are "in-house", (i.E.: "21-club, 100-club, ect.), and they seemed to be EXTREMELY unprofessional in daily operations. (i.E.: loud music blaring in the office, using the term "Who's your bitch?" as a closing to a phone call and the amount of "banter" during such phone calls, the manner in which the vast majority of the employees present themselves, wearing cut-off shirts, revealing clothing, suggestive clothing, items along those lines. The thing that stuck out to me was the fact that I had to use my own personal transportation to sell someone elses product with no reembursment for fuel costs, toll booth costs, ect. I was told that I was going to be making around $2-300 dollars a week, but that turned out to be a lie. The first week, I spent roughly $40 in fuel costs, sold 7 bottles of the product, and only made $10 dollars profit. The simple fact that the "manager" of the office literally threatened me that if I took off with his product, a legal nightmare would ensue was another red flag to me. I spent 4 days dodging cops and security guards and avoiding being arrested and cited for solicitation just to earn nothing and come back the next day and do it again. I feel horrible about the the fact that this scam is so well "sugar-coated" and rehursed the most people have no idea what's going on. The simple fact that I was not employed "on the books" could leave me open the horrible legal repercussions in the event that I got arrested for selling this garbage was enough for me to not want to "work" for this "business" anymore. For example, If I was areested for soliciting without a permit, the "company" could destroy any record of the "product" that I have on consignment, tell them it was stolen, and since there is no record of me being employed with the company, they would not even be obligated to help me. And after further internet research, calling this a scam in inevitable. Someone needs to shut these people down. For good.
