I saw an add on craigslist saying "! Rug Shampooers Needed!" The pay was $1850 a month plus bonuses. Sounded like great money to me. I go to the interview and 15 mins later, I am hired. They didnt even ask for id or do a background check. I was a bit put off, but I was working at a gas station and I was not making squat, so it sounded like a better offer.
How wrong I was. I found out (not surprisingly) that I would be selling Kirby vacuums! Well after the 3 days of unpaid training (I wont go there on how stupid it was), the whole sales pitch sounded easy. Hahaha. Yeah, right. I must have been insane. The whole thing sounded shady to me, but I was dumb and was only thinking about the prospect of big money. You get there at 10 am and sit around for an hour. They give you a stupid " motivational" speech, and than you sing ridiculous songs to get yourself into a " positive selling attitude."
They said we could have people setting appointments for us. Not. We had to walk around neighborhoods knocking on doors all day trying to practically push our way into houses. You have to skip lunch half of the time, and you get to walk around in freezing weather knocking on doors. The management is a joke. They are allowed to talk to you however they want and dont have a problem with telling you that you are worthless. A manager (Kasaan) and I almost got into a fistfight because he thought he could sit there and insult me just because I didnt get into a house. Everyone is the office is either a felon, druggie, or both. The majority of the people you work with are sleeping with someone else in the office.
I worked for these idiots for a month and a half and I never even saw the $1850 I was promised. The owner, Lamaan Hill, is a liar and a snake and will do whatever he can to make sure he does not have to pay you. His brother, Kasaan, is also a liar and will constantly put you down and disrespect you. Not to mention he is rude to the customers and made one woman sick from badgering her so much. I posted an ad on craigslist, trying to warn people about his lying business practices, and Lamaan was texting my cellphone saying he was going to put me in jail for slander. I told him to stop and he continued to harass me. I am still trying to catch up on all the bills I have because of these scam artists. If you see any add like that on craigslist, avoid it. If you go to a job interview and they tell you it has ANYTHING to do with Kirby, get up and leave. If you are in liverpool, this is the address for this sham of a company:
900 Old Liverpool Rd # 3 Liverpool, NY 13088-8538 (315) 451-6300 Go there and tell him what a scam artist he is. Get him and his shady business practices out of our city!
