Upstream Biz Solutions Pyramid Scheme company avoid

Shady shady shady!!! I was called last week by Tami in the so called HR department regarding my resume that I posted online. She invited me to come to the office for a first round interview which lasted a whole 2 minutes. I interviewed with Stefan who has "I'm lying" written all over his face with his fake smile and cheezy grey suit. Anyways, he asked me to come in for a second interview. The second interview consisted of a day long shadowing of one of the account managers. This is called a marketing position but we were going door-to-door selling office supplies. How is that marketing? I think Stefan needs to go back to school and retake marketing 101. It is door to door sales involving walking into random business, giving a cheezy short introduction and trying to sell office supplies.

So after a long day of driving from door to door, we went back to the office to do a third interview. There was three of us waiting to see Stefan and I was the last to meet with him. Long story short, he ended up telling me that he would like to work with me and told me to come in tomorrow for my first day. Now I was becoming a bit sceptical. I was told to show up on Tuesday at 8am.

I showed up the following day and was given a form to sign. The form states that for the next 4-5 days you will be interning and training. During this time you will not be compensated for the 10 hour days you put in. You are basically learning and working for free. The only reason I did not walk out the door is because I truly thought things would get better or might I say normal. From my stupidity in falling for this scam I learned a valuable lesson. After waiting 15 minutes we then went into a meeting where you weren't able to sit down, lean on anything or yawn. After this extremely wasteful meeting I went and shadowed the same person again selling office supplies.

I am posting this review to warn everyone who is considering interviewing or working for this company. Trust me when I tell you it is a complete waste of time. They offer no base pay, no benefits, no PTO/sick time, no gas reimbursement, absolutely nothing. It's 100% commission and believe me when I tell you that selling a case of paper or toner isn't going to make you rich. I have done extensive research on this company and I wouldn't be wasting my time posting this review if I didn't think this company is scamming people.

They also seem to change there name every year. Jeez, I wonder why. Stay away from this company. Don't make the same mistake I did by wasting your time. You will regret every second of it and humiliate yourself as well. This is a very good example of a pyramid scheme. These people are smart at scamming and making people believe that this is a great opportunity
