I had recently went on craigslist, and saw an ad that said apply now. It listed the phone number to call with no information about the job. But i really needed a job, so I call and they gave me no information on the job, just to come in and fill out an application. They also asked if I would be able to start in two days if hired. I said yes. They gave me the address, and off i went.
It was located in a small office building down town. When i walked in there were about seven or eight people applying. Once again I asked what is this job for, they told me that it was assembling equipment. Once i get to my interview, The guy starting hitting on me. (not mentioning any names.) I was immediately hired, because of my looks, not ability. I was told it had to do with kirby vacuum's. I had not known what a kirby was, i just thought If i could sell something of higher value in the past, I could sell a vacuum.
We started two days later and training went from 10:30am-3:30pm. Not bad. Until even during training my boss would continue to harass me. He would flirt and touch me inappropriately.in FRONT OF MY COWORKERS!!! There was even a time he offered to pay me for sexual relations. After our training, we were required to go to the office for our morning meetings, at 10:30am then immediately after we would have to go somewhere 40 miles away, and go door to door trying to sell the kirbys. Even if we got in we still didn't get credit for it. (our "team leader" got all the credit) that lasted from noon to about ten thirty at night if not longer.
A month had past and we were at our morning meetings, and i started realizing that I have been here for a month, have spent no time with my family and was spending about $40 a day in gas. Only to realize i haven't seen one pay check. No one had seen a pay check. I realized it was a scam when i befriend someone there that had been there for months beyond months and had only made $30 dollars. I quit the next day, found out thats its fraud, they were not planning on paying me ever. These people make you believe your gonna make all this money and your just wasting your time. They owe me around $700 that i am never gonna see. Not to mention the $40 in gas i was spending a day which adds up to about $1240.00 almost the same amount as a kirby. I was thinking about suing for sexual harassment and for not receiving pay, along with the money spent on gas. However I could not find a lawyer that would take my case. The labor board cant do anything either. My suggestion, is NEVER WORK FOR THESE SCANDULIS USERS!!!
Yours truly
