I worked for Cheyenne Distributing for two weeks. I was told I would make $1995 for completing 60 in home demos in a month. I was also told I would get any commission after $1180 on sales, minus a 3% credit card fee or 10% finance fee.
I sold 7 irby Vaccuums. The first two were at cost of $795. With no commission expected. The third at $1000 which I was paid $50 for. The fourth at 1200, which I was not paid for. The fifth sold for $1695, which I was not paid for (I'll explain this one in a second). The 6th sold for 795 on a credit card, which I do not expect pay for. The 7th sold for 1000, which I expect $50 for.
The person who bought the Kirby for 1695 cancelled. I was not informed by anyone that the customer cancelled. After getting my check for $50 I decided to call the customer and ask if they cancelled. Sure enough they did cancel. Wish I knew sooner, I would have quit sooner.
After signing the paperwork after orientation, I was put on a road trip immediately. I worked 13 hours a day for 7 days and 12 hours on the 8th day. 104 hours total for the first check (which is not paid hourly btw). If you figure it out by the hour I made. 54 an hour. I worked 34 hours the next week and was supposed to make $50 for the 7th sale of $1000. I was told after quitting that I would not see that check. I worked 138 hours and was paid $50... That's $0.36 an hour.
When I quit the CEO was asking me if I'd have a better future working at McDonnalds for minumum wage. I told him yes I would because they ACTUALLY PAY their employees a low but livable wage.
When I was interviewed for the job I was told I would be a phone customer service representive. When hired they told me I'd be going door to door vacuum selling. What they failed to mention is that they'd send me in no soliciting neighborhoods and towns that adopted the Green River Ordinance (no soliciting). While on the road trip the team leader and another dealer were arrested for soliciting. If i was in the car I would have been arrested too.
This company is very dishonest... Do not work for them... And if they come to your door. They will play mind games with pricing with you. They call their "boss" (the team leader) and ask them to call the CEO and ask about the best possible price. The trade in is bull... They don't want your vacuums, they take up space, and they will offer more than you paid for them. It's all about how much the dealer will be making. When you say no they will call back and ask if they have a "friends and family bonus" the bonus is fake, they try to sell a kirby to everyone whether they sell it at cost or not because a sale is still a sale. Before leaving, if you still say no they will tell you they have ONE friends and family bonus left and they aren't supposed to use it, but they will and its for 795 total plus tax and finance charge. The finance charge is rediculous btw. It averages 400 and they never mention what it is or let you know about the 3 day cancellation. They will always try to get a down payment from you, and tell you they need one... They can finance you at 0 down and 30 a month... No less... But don't let them make you think it has to be a high number... Higher numbers are better to lower interest, but even on the high downpayments and high monthly payments there is still a finance charge of 150-300. The finance charge is 20-24%. They may tell you it comes out to 8% a year, which means absolutely nothing. They devide the interest rate by years and when it comes to paying it does not work like that.
