GMS Promotions hides behind non-profit organizations like DARE, and TOYS FOR TOTS. (So you look at them as good people) They tell their employee's that they have a chance to own their own business. (and give you examples of people who have done it) GMS Promotions relies on employee's that are not going to stay. That is how they stay in business. They have their employees work half of the day for free (Because when interviewers are in the office waiting, they will wonder what we are doing behind closed doors screeming and laughing) which makes GMS Promotions look like a reliable company. Then you go on your interview day and they don't pay you anything no matter how much you sell.
Now if you notice on careerbuilder.com GMS Promotions says that they must train 12 people immediately for: Sales, Customer service, Office adminstration, Marketing, Inventory control, Management. The only job position that they are filling is Sales. As you work more and more they start putting more responsibilies on you so you think you are getting somewhere within the company (but they dont pay you anymore to do the work they tell you that you are working towards your goal to be a business owner) That isn't true either because even if you have all of the experience needed it all depends on how many people you have under you after you become a leader.
When you sign the paper work to work for GMS. They have you as an independent contractor. The reason that they do this so they don't have to pay you minimum wage. There were people who I worked with that worked at least 60 hours a week and only got payed 70 dollars.
If you ask the company about usacomplaints.com they will tell you that all companys have employee's that don't like who they are working for even walmart. (or some other big company) I am not writing this because I was ever mad at anyone at this company. I loved the people that worked there... And it wasn't that (I didn't have what it took) or (it just wasn't right for me). I believe that hard work should get at least minimum wage. I don't care if they are teaching you or not. Many companys pay to send there employee's to school. What makes it any diffrent for them. There is a reason why there is a minimum wage.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST A LOT OF THE WORK is done outside. Rain sleet and SNOW. I was there for three weeks and never had an indoor event.
