Cydcor
Gen-X Promotions Inc DS-Max typical ripoff company bounced checks

Gen-X Promotions, Inc. Is an independently run affiliate of DS-Max/Cydcor. It is based in Cincinnati, OH, but had an office open in Columbus, OH as well when I worked for them briefly from Nov-Dec. 2001.

I had the same horrible DS-Max experience as many other contributors to this site, but with a few twists:

1. I had to drive to Cincinnati at least once a week so that I could "train" with more experienced leaders.

2. I did receive a paycheck for just over $60 after about two weeks. That check bounced (I should have run then), so I returned to my manager and was assured that I would be issued a new check and reimbursed for the bounced check fee.

3. I didn't receive another paycheck for a month, so I quit. When I got my next check, it was considerably lower than what I was told it would be, and did not include the reimbursement from the bounced check.

4. I was coerced into attending a rally in Detroit, with the owner telling me she would pay for my trip and any expenses while I was there. None of that ever happened.

5. I attempted several times to dispute my pay with the owner, who insisted that I was just bitter and was trying to scam her out of money (how ironic). I only received my check after threatening to report her to the Department of Labor, the IRS, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State.

6. At my "interview" I was promised health benefits, and did not discover until a couple weeks in the business that they did not exist.

7. My "manager" lied about her age and education to every potential employee.

Run far, far away from any "business" associated with DS-Max, Cydcor, Granton, etc. I realize that each office is run independently, but I have done my research and seen very few positive comments, and a huge number of negatives. There is definitely a trend here.
