There is alot one can say about Xtreme Promotions. One of them is not that it will take you where they say it will. This company has to be the biggest scam around. I first came to consumer complaints a week after being promoted to "account executve" and I being ignorant continued working there until a couple weeks ago I finally quit. Please READ THIS STORY before thinking about applying to a company by the name of APEX MARKETING or XTREME PROMOTIONS.
I remember going to speak to Bruno and he had a charm that hyped you up about the position and I remember him saying "Were going to wrap up hiring today!". I like everybody else was nervous about getting hired or not. I was working at a call center at the time and I was waiting for a call back from paula (the secretary) to tell me if I was elgible for a 2nd round interview. The deadline was 5pm and what a coincidence that I was called right at 5pm along with another 6 people. That was odd because I was told there was only one position available.??? Anyways, I went on the 2nd round interview with an individual by the name of John. Great guy and all BUT bad intentions. So i went back to the office to meet with Bruno and he introduced me to john and we left the office. At first I was curious why we were leaving but I thought that a pep talk was the reason. I was wrong! I saw a 83 Nissan Maxima pull up, I thought it was a delivery guy but it ended up being OUR RIDE! I was clueless but I thought that there was a good reason for this. We climbed inside that car and he began to ask me questions about marketing-I guess to test my knowledge or something. We went to a residential community and they began to count the houses on both sides and when I least expected it, in my business attire I was asked to step out of the car. We stepped out and began to walk on the sidewalk and started to walk towards a door. I was clueless until I found out that this is a DOOR TO DOOR business. At the time the company we were representing was Bellsouth, a fortune 87 company. Basically, we upgraded people to more expensive plans and hidden fees. I would know this becuase I closed a relative and when they're bill arrived they were charged over 120 dollars-it was a big difference from the 52 dollars that she paid the previous month. After 7 hours of walking in the heat, I went back to the office and had a meeting with Bruno. He told me that he would give me the oppurtunity to prove myself and that in a couple months would be elgible to open my own office. I felt like I was given the chance of a lifetime but I was wrong. The door to door business brought me to trouble with the law, trouble with my bills and not to mention INCOME. I had to waste money more on gas then I made in one day. It's funny how the "CORPORATE TRAINERS" teach keeping a positive attitude even if you came home with $0. To make this story a little shorter, I would not recommend this job to anyone for the simple fact of it's instability. I'm not a lazy person but it can get tiring when you see 50 house doors in one day and you have to walk around the same community until 7pm. I chose to leave because of an encounter with the police. Residents of the community claimed that we were "pushy" but the whole time I thought it was called "Closing with action". This job is as pointless as a job at mc donalds. The only reason I'm submitting this report to the usacomplaints.com is because it is a bad business. Ad's claim that you'll make 85k minimum a year. Which is a lie!!! I mean Bruno drove a Neon. It wasn't even an SRT!!! I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone but an athlete that has great closing skiils. If you read some of the previous reports about PMG or CYDCOR or APEX MARKETING, it is ALL TRUE!!! The office descriptions, the faculty and most importantly the fact that one cannot be successful in this business is 100% True!!! Please take advice from someone who's been through that part of hell and DONT work for this company! Do banking or accounting but NEVER EVER do PMG Marketing!!!
