Icor Engineering, a.K. A "Kirby" vacuum sweepers recruits under false promises, lies by omission, reps go out without business license and are required to have
one. Hard for potential employee to research under their a.K. A names, which are nationwide (and all different).. Like sub companies. Hard to believe Warren
Buffet owns parent company and Scott Fetzer (Fetzer wineries) I believe owns this franchise. I plan to report them to the District Attorney, as well as will
proceed to enlist class action suit nationwide. After reading many reports negative about Kirby, each report reflects at least one experience I had and everyone in our class. None of which are left after two weeks. Kirby should be fined heavely for the misuse and predatory manner of their hiring practices.
They promised we were on a W-2 (later it was a 1099). They had us bring in our drivers licenses and drivers licenses and complete paperwork (not protecting them
from their practices) but asked several times for copies of what we signed, as did others and they would not provide. They said we would have a company vehicle to use, but it had to be returned by the end of each day... It turned out to be a broken down old van. The "crew leader" drives the five or six of you
dumped into the van and dumps you off in some neighboorhood to hoof it
from 11:00 AM to sometimes midnight, while he sits somwhere with Kirby's in the van awaiting a call from a rep that they have a demo lined up in some home. No facilities to use. You have to ask the homeowner to use their restroom. We were told leads would be provided to us. Wrong. Our leads were knocking on doors and being expected to do 72 demos per month to get a $2,600 guarantee base. Impossible!!! Kirby owns you from Tuesday through the week-end, and then you have Monday off. Only then can you hit referral business you may have personally. Their sales techniques are hard sell and actually tell you to gently push through the potential cutomer's front door, when opened and get in quickly by commenting on their carpet.
The employees there looked like they just got out of jail. The most unprofessional group I have ever seen. The "manager" was a greasy, but wealthy, sack of wind and must have sold many used cars.
