I was lured into this company by a bunch of mind games and blatant lies. I figured out the scam right away but being as I have to work 12-14 hours a day no exceptions it makes it impossible to find another job especially when you are stuck with someone else in the car to work the field with you. While you read tons of articles on Innovage and other companies formed and maintained on the same infrastructure you always have someone standing up for the companies saying that lying works and you just are upset you didn't make it and weren't owner material. Distributors have been immediately cut off and pushed away by business people due to people like Giovanni finding "hot spots" and working those businesses like the mafia works territory claiming to offer them phony deals and "cut them off" if they pitch to any other people but him.
This guy keeps his number one seller status and money in his pocket while everyone else struggles and suffers daily trying to make a living "promoting" products for supposed Fortune 500 companies allowing us to use their names for promotions. Once someone was confronted by the police about the company they claimed to being doing promotions for knowing nothing about the promotion they were running and using their name illegally and taking their product from them. After that everyone was told to say "We are here doing promotions for companies like %. You know %right?" There are Fortune 500 company signs posted all over the walls of every company associated to this con to help make it seem more believable. Some of us also found out that the owner's claims to have permits for us to promote and sell to these businesses was a blatant lie.
People have been told to lie to clients and to potential employees in interviews to manipulate them into either buying our products or impulse them to take our job offer after lying and playing with their emotions. I heard that someone refused to lie and was repremanded harshly and their day was intentionally sabatoged by a guy set up to go out with them and mess with their numbers last week (and who also tried to find cars in parking lots with unlocked doors so he could steal things in them which the person immediately brought him back to the office for and yet again was repremanded for and accused of lying about him doing it). They had no intention of ever making me or most of the people that we have aboard owners and they just intend to use them for money to pay their bills and keep running.
These people are either nieve fools and/or too nice to honestly run a business based solely on lies and manipulation let alone be able to stay and survive on the few bucks they manage to make on a daily basis. Where's the $500.00 base salary per week? All BS. It's only commission and car leaders selling the newbee's orders first on the first three days so as not to take a loss and be able to give them $70.00 those days (to all the known "juicy" businesses) to falsely build their confidence and make it appear that they receive a steady salary. I could go on and on about everything but if you read all the other over 200 testimonials you'll get bits and pieces to fill in the blanks.
To anyone that wants to come back and stand up for this company and/or all it's related cousins safely hiding under independent chains that run off eachother and under the same BS philosophies and tactics and try to not call it a scam, don't bother. If you and your clients are deceived (directly, ommission, etc. - yes, we all know the numerous forms of deception) into buying into purchasing or selling product then you it's a "con". Nothing changes the meaning of a "con job". These workers that know the truth and stay and defend the company are only con-artists, sociopathic headcases, and/or just plain criminals. Look up the definition.
