My story is not unlike most listed here. Ellen Winter is a lying, underhanded witch who needs to go back to Brazil.
I was sent to Boston for a week, Ellen told me because I was going to learn new products and teach them to my colleagues. No one was there to pick me up from the airport, as she said would happen. I was not paid for that week until I harassed the Boston office and threatened reporting it to authorities.
I was promised a stipend for managing the warehouse - never happened.
I left the company, as I could not afford a place to live on the non-existent paychecks. My 'leader' was my roommate and she inexplicably moved out one day while I was working and never paid any rent. (not a gripe against the company, but does testify to the caliber of some of the people hired.)
After I left, I never received my W-2- I called the office and found that JR Promotionz was no longer. I asked who could help me, was told by the Matrix guys that they would contact someone and get the paperwork for me - never happened.
Overall, I was putting in 70hr work weeks for less than $200/week. If I didn't make my sales quota, Ellen made us go out to bars and try to sell to the drunk people we would meet up with. We weren't allowed to return to the office until we had reached our goal.
I, personally, feel bad that I was a part of taking money that people thought they were donating to charity - all in the name of someone else's profit.
For that, I apologize to the city of Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas we pilfered and harassed.
Juice by that. Right?!
