Paragon USA - Paramount - New Line Technologies Bwana, Janna, Mike, Kasie, Len, Stacie PARAGON IS A RIPOFF DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY Jacksonville, Virginia Beach, Columbia, Greensboro Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida
To make things worse a "founder" is working out of the Charleston SC office (Bwana Thurman, also from Equinox). He is there to support and train.
I checked the Better Business Bureau and Marie Thurman is the owner of Paragon USA not Bwana Thurman! At the office. I arrived at a crowded room where there was no intimate interview, rather a sales pitch with people planted in the crowd to keep up the energy. They also tell you that the company is owned by Bwana Thurman... Is his real name Marie... Ha ha!
They also talk about an e-commerce web site which was marketed as producing commissions (A MEMEBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WROTE) when people purchased through my "online mall" and that I could check the "back end" of the site to get stats on sales. It took over 3 weeks for my site to be up and when it was I noticed there is absolutely no tracking on the "mall" portion of the Website and that there would be no commissions.
We (reps) are practically FORCED to pay for and attend company trainings (pep rallies designed to keep us "in") no matter where they are in the country. The contract/application I signed said there was no requirement to pay "desk rent" however, we are being charged $400 for desks by the local office (Environet) and we have to pay for our own phone lines and we must place (company approved) ads in the newspaper.
I've read much about the Equinox shutdown and I have to tell you Paragon USA seems like the same company right down to the water filtration, cleaning products and weight loss products... The products are focused on just long enough to say they have mentioned them. It has been made clear that the real focus of the business (and where the money is made) is through the recruiting.
