Ripoff, scam, liars, low paying, cult

Education & Science

Esquire Marketing Concepts Inc. Was the absolute worst job I've ever held. My pay was enormously overstated by the manager, Steve Kim and I was often in debt by the job itself. The gas to and from different locations around Birmingham were paid out of pocket, my pocket.

At this job, I was required to sell Bellsouth products to Cingular customers in different Cingular stores around Birmingham. The stores included Lakeshore, Galleria, Flyover, Jasper, Centerpoint, Parkway East and a few more. We helped maybe 5% of the customers we signed up, the rest we misrepresented information and manipulated. No one will ever say this straight up. I think that is one of the reasons they switch us from store to store, so that angry past customers would not make a scene.

So every morning Monday through Saturday I got to the office around 7:30AM. We did our morning meeting, changed clothes and headed out to stores, collected dirty money, returned to the office and left at around 8:30PM. Working all these hours I did not even get a check over $160. I almost lost my car off this scam. He told me I would make a certain dollar figure that I never came close to seeing. I really needed honesty at this point and he was incapable.

The worst part about the job is that most of the Cingular customers did not want to be bothered by some scam artist trying to change their plans and increase their bills. However, we told them that Bellsouth and Cingular just merged and they may be eligible for savings and discounts based on what they already have on their accounts. Most people walk right by you while you're still talking to them, others are more rude and use sentence enhancers. As an employee you are not allowed to tell any of the newer employees what they are about to endure no matter how much you would have wanted to know when you were in their shoes. No negative comments about the job are permitted. The turnover ratio is outrageous. People quit so often it was hard to remember names. It is a scam for cheap labor so Steve can have every store filled to keep him from losing his campaign.

P.S. Also beware, they do have a business to business division that is much worse, and their sister corporation is Foundations Marketing.
