Universal Subscription Agency
Ex employee for usa

I used to work for Universal Subcription Agency. I had worked there for about 7 months before i quit, and my high day in sales was 15 so i was selling quite a few magazines a day.

They split us up into different crews and every crew has a number i worked for Lamb Sales which is code# 012 and that is Richard Lamb's Crew there is also Steve Ingram's crew etc. Richard Lamb and Steve Ingram are the owners of Universal Subscription Agency. There are at least 10 different crews just for USA that travel all around the US doing this and each crew consists of about 30 people, that is just for USA there is also other MAG CREW'S that are with other company's. Some may be listed with the BBB some are not USA IS NOT. There is also a company called ACI (Atlantic Circulation Incorporated) they as far as i know are listed with the BBB.

I used to say the same things that pretty much everyone is talking about in the 7 months that i worked there i have traveled to somewhere around 15 states including KS, AZ, CA, UT, CO, SD, IA, MI, TN those are only a few states that i have stayed in. I suspected that the company wasnt legit. From some of the conversations people told me so i sent some magazines home for my family to see if they would get them. They recieved there magazines after about 4 months which is also listed on the top of the reciepts. (delivery within 120 days) so i thought everything was fine. Starting pay is supposed to be 50% but they say that they have to save 20% of that on what is called our "books" that is mobey saved in case of emergancy or dismissal so they gave us 30% of the agent front which is for example (Nickelodeon - AGT FRT $19.00 MGR GRT $22.00) that is a low term magazine for $41.00 without the $13.00 P&H full price is $54.00 for two years) so IF we brought in enough cash to get a 30% draw they were still ripping us off there were days that i should have had a $100.00 draw and i would take a $20.00 draw if any so that everyone was getting paid and so that we would have the money to pay rent at the hotels we stayed at.

I have heard every spill in the book just about and i know all of the dirty buisness everyone was writing there were people that would say we had any magazine that the "customer" asked for and if we didnt have it they would sell them a magazine like "Jane" or one of the other cheaper magazines on our list. Richard Lamb owed me money from my books that i believed to be around a couple thousand dollars from the time i had worked there and he said i would find out within 90 days if he even owes me money. I still talk to people that esed to work for USA and when i asked them if they had recieved there money yet they laughed at me and said " do you accually think you are going to get paid" and even though i wanted to trust Richie i do not think i will ever get any money that i should have earned.

I finally knocked on a ladies door in Tennesse and she asked me what i was doing this for and i was honest with her i told her it was a job and as far as i knew we really did get the trip to Cancu, Bermuda, or Nassau and get the $1000.00 and she told me that i was too smart to be doing this and if i accually did want to quit the job and got back to school to finish my GED and go on to college i could. I am now living with her and i am finishing my GED and getting ready to go to school for Criminal Justice and Communications. I never thought after saying i was doing a contest to help with my communications skills that i would ever accualy be doing that but now i am and i am going to break down this particular company piece by piece if it kills me.
