Ok so i get a call from this guy Bashir not sure if that was his real name... Anyways i specialize in customer service work and when he tells me there is an opening in rome new york that is offering 12.00 an hour STARTING i said hey sounds like good pay... He further explained that i can go fill out an application and they are looking for people like me... (someone looking for a job that pays descent fits work she/he knows and trusts people calling with job offers) anyways. So i goto this place and before i got off the phone with Bashir i made sure to ask..."its is 12.00 hrly correct? Not just up to 12.00 or something of that sort?" he stated "of course it is 12hrly"... I goto this place fill out an application and not a minute after they hand it to one of the many managers he comes in all excited has me read a paragraph and says well you can read thats great come back at six for a class and we can see if you are what we are looking for... I figure hmmm i have to come back here at 6 after traveling a half an hour out of my way for this half ass interview... Well i figure like any normal company they want to make reference checks and such... Well no checks were made i return at 6 and find as number of ppl all waiting around... Anyways we are all taken to a room where we read of of a computer this time (same script a little longer) they explain we are collectiong money for the PBA. I figure well im not a fan of being a telemarketer but at least it is a good cause and for 12hrly i can esily afford the gas back and forth. Averaging about $10 a day back an forth for 4hrs of work and thats if you make sales if you dont get enough they send you home early...
Let me speed this up... So its been a week now working with this company and i have spent almost $100.00 in gas alone... Im getting diffrent answers on when exactly pay day is one manager says thurs other says fri... So i start speaking with a veteran employee about the pay and he notes that he started at MINIMUM WAGE! I ask him what about the $12hrly which when i was hired i asked about and they said YUP 12hrly they even had me put 12hrly on the W-2 i filed when hired... So it turns out that after a 40hr training eriod thats when you get to your 12hrly rate and till then yer at minimum wage or close to it...
So immediatly after if find this out i goto a manager and ask about this pay issue "i thought we get paid 12hrly" and with a cartoon grin and demeanor he says YEAH after 40hrs of training we bump you up to 12hrly and i quote "we'd go out of business if we paid that much starting with a snicker"... Anyways i just thought ppl should know that this company is scamming its consumers to the people it hires everyone is getting screwed over!!
