I went to work for IGT enterprises on 3/26/08 as a telemarketer and the first day was lovely. They showed me around the facility and the enviornment was great. There was a complimenty kitchen where you can make your own food and snacks for free. I talked to three of the six employees and everyone said this a great place to work. I saw the red flags the first day I went in because the doors were locked and I had to knock to get into the office. As someone peeked through the crack in the door and said who is it I was finally let in. I also heard someone say "ain't nobody getting in here unless they have a search warrent". I took it as a joke at that time but I kept my eyes open.
The receptionist asked me if I was going to work one day and quit because that happens a lot and I told her no because this seems like a nice place to work. The second day 3/27/08 was when I found out how this place really operates. There was a banker from Charter one on the premisses setting up accounts for direct deposit so I was told that's how we would be getting paid from now on. So I set up a checking account and five minuts later Karen the owner came in and told me and another girl that we needed a deposit to open the account and she would pay it for us. Ok, a few minuts later she came in with papers for us to sign stating she deposited $600 in our accounts that we can't touch for 4 weeks. I asked her why and she said it was a pay advance and also we would get paid biweekly instead of weekly like I was initially told. I didn't say anything but I found this very strange for her to deposit this large sum of money into my account and I can't spend it.
After that I quit and told the supervisor to tell her not to deposit any money in my account unless it the one and a half day's I worked for. This business seems like a front for some kind of scheme she has going on. She also told us that she has a contract with someone at Charter One bank to do some kind of work and we should stick with her through the ruff times. First of all I don't know her personally to stick with her and I didn't come ther for that, I just wanted to work and get paid that's it. I'm out gas and toll money for nothing and I still don't know if I'm going to get paid for the day's I worked there.
