I unfortunately became an employee of John Robert Powers in Corona, California August. My title was a telemarketer. Meaning Id be the one to call the leads and invite them to what they call an "open call audition." What I was yet to find out that anyone was accepted as long as they were willing to fork up the money to attend these so called "modeling and acting classes."
Working behind the scenes I saw how everything around me worked. They had used my strong people skills against me to talk these poor people to come in with false hopes and dreams.
Since day one, I was being tossed around like a rag doll. Three main people who I were supposed to look to for guidance... Never gave me the same information. I was lied to about bonuses and incentives for us to call as many leads as possible and get them booked to come for the "open call audition." The more people us "telemarketers" brought in the more money they'd make.
I had recieved 2 checks while workin there, never once wit a paystub or taxes taken out. I knew something wasnt right. The second check I had recieved was supposed to be in my direct deposit and what a surprise... Wasnt! Causing me to be late on my bills. I was not notified by Tamela Hamilton (CEO). Any Employer knows to have the common decency to do so.
I had finally quit after realizing this place was a scam and I was a part of it. I quit September 23 and have yet to recive my last check. I have called week after week as they continue to throw me around like a rag doll. I was told my the "National Director" it had been sent out last Tuesday, October 2nd. Im located only 30 minutes south which should only take 2-3days. This evening Monday, October 9 finally got a hold of the CEO herself, Tamela Hamilton which replyed to me if I were to call any more she'd flie harrassment against me. For What? Getting the money that is owed to me? That is rightfully mine? And I keep getting lied to?
This business is unprofessional, they're liars, willing to do or say anything to get peoples mone, Ive seen and heard it myself, I unfortunatley was tricked into being part of the scam. I dont want this happening to anyone else. Help me make sure it doesnt.
