It's Friday Oct. 25. I just drove four hours each way due to hiway construction only to find a slum of an office that was so unorganized that they could have been gone and no-body would have missed them. A day to forget.
Upon reaching town and trying to follow the direction that were wrong I called the number and ask again, still didn't help much, finally made it there and whooooooooo. Should have walked in and right back out. But I thought I have driven such a long way should see what it was all about. First I registered on a blank leader, then they immediately took me to a room in back, guess it was a conference room, It immediately looked like multi-level on all the walls and the dry board. 2nd time I thought about leaving,
But against my better judgement I didn't, I filled out the form and in doing so saw several mispelled words in the form.
Next a 21 year old came into the room and in about 2 minutes went through a sales pitch then ask me to fill out the back of the form I had. He again left the room.
Should add that music is a blarring everywhere.
When he came back I ask him to tell me more about the managers position that was offered in the ad, he said that I had to make 2000 dollars worth of sales before I would be considered for that position, I would have to go through training.
Now at this point he tells me that I have to PAY $95.00 to him so he can do a background check on me that was it. I ask, can I see background info on this company, He said, look at that map of the U.S. All of those pins are offices. What else do you wnat to know. Show me where I can read about this company, Hand me a brochure, Give me a business card with some of the Sr. Officers on it. He got a little upset and said he didn't have anything, but wait and left the room, came back in with a piece of paper and some numbers written on it. Said call this one right now use my phone, and when I ask who I would get on the phone he answer was he wasn't sure. I ask if they were listed with the chamber of comerce and he didn't know, and another thing, he never gave me his name, I don't know what to call him,
But now I am getting a little upset, I ask one more time, How or where can I find out about this company, On the internet I could not find it, his reply is we are not on there. That is my point what and where is this company, what are you selling, His answer was, I am an Office Manager and I have been here a little over a month. I can't answer your questions. I ask, are you suppose to train me? His reply, I'm not sure I want you. I said I guess that since I question who I am working for and what background I have about the "apparent Company" you don't need me. And by the way first the background check for me was 75 then 95. Guess He was mad because he didn't get me to pay. He also told me that a manager makes over $4,000 a month and the corporate office paid all expenses and overhead for the office. I ask, does all the products come through here, no, they are drop shipped from Birmingham or maybe Montgomery. The office he said started in Mongomery but has been closed and moved to Birmingham.
Funny, the numbers he did give me were in Montgomery.
By the way they were just as indirect and deceitful as the Florance office was.
I have 18 years of experience in office management, motovation, and running sales staff. And the funny thing is that they are supposely paying an X Blimpy sandwitch maker to run a sales and support office. Ironic, isn't it.
