My fiancee and I were recently hired at this company 11/27/06, we were forced to sign a contract stating that if we dont complete 90 days of employment, we dont ever get paid for the very 1st week of training, being that they are *honing our internet research skills* and "teaching us a craft", teaching us? Thats why we sat there the whole week and did nothing but test/example questions to search for, and got all positive feedback, but after we left Friday they had another agent send us an email saying that our overall performance didnt meet their requirements and we were fired. One of the reasons i was given for being fired was that I researched ONE question incorrectly, well, i thought i was IN TRAINING, getting my skills HONED... So why was I fired for it? They said we had poor attitudes, no we didnt, the chat logs showing "poor attitudes" were faked, and the other employees lied to them about us, to intentionally get us fired.
These people use pay sites like Hoovers.com and PublicData.com which they pay for, and conduct things like criminal background searches on ANYONE for their paying customers. Basically, reselling the service. They used to boast themselves as *AskGod.com*, you can call them with someones license plate number and theyll hop on public data, punch it in, and give you and address, name, birthdate... Everything.
They told us to NOT EVER TELL that they use these 2 sites, amongst others, because reselling the service wasnt a good thing.
Yea well, they fired us for NO GOOD REASON... And are refusing to pay us due to that contract we were FORCED to sign, a whole week we both worked, and arent getting paid.
I post this to warn people. Dont use their service... Dont work for them... Dont have any dealings with them if you can help it.
I am welcome to any lawyer response I can get to the matter of getting rightfully paid for the time I worked
