The Titan Communications office appears to be a like any other other satellite company's, just a room with a bunch of salesmen in it. They don't seem to be doing anything wrong until we get to the advertising of the company.
Titan hired college students to pass out their company fliers.in fact even now you may be able to see young faces passing out their flyers. Perhaps they went back to letting independent contractor drivers hire illegal immigrants to pass them out again.
They would pay their workers under minimum wage $6.00 or $6.25 to work putting out thousands of flyers a week. They did this by putting their workers on 1099's so they wouldn't have to pay taxes for them and possibly to pay them less money as independent contractors. Not only would they pay them cheap it was a hassle to get paid from them.
Now they hire other businesses to pass out their flyers but only on commission. How they keep track of the distributors sales is when a customer calls in they ask what unique promo code is on the flyer, They "mark" the code down and the distributor company gets paid for it. Yeah right! Total Scam. Not only have thousands of flyers been passed out for them with little return they complain about the other companies workers telling them that people in the communities are calling in complaining about them.
This is from a company who said putting flyers on a door with NO SOLICITING signs is fine because placing a flyer isn't considered soliciting. Really? Give me a break!
Whether you think this company has been shady is up to you but in my book you may take this into consideration next time you sign up for satellite t.V. But...
Who knows, maybe they'll change.
