I was contacted by this company to be employed. I was contacted by a young lady named Angelique Piccolo (recruiter)... She is a ex-news castor who wasn't good enough to continue (google her name)... During the interview I was told that I the requirerments that they were looking for, and they were looking for someone to start the beginning of the year... During the interview I ask very pointed questions:
(1) What is the retention of employees? - (We have reps who have been here for many years)-she Lied!!!
(2) What is the commission based on? - (setting up free two week trials that usually close 85% of the time)-she lied again
(3) How long is the training period? (Two weeks and it will be paid-$500 weekly)-Liar!!!
I was told that a company car would be available to those who hit their numbers for the week and monthly... I asked how many of the reps are using the company cars... She spoke in general "many"- The question that i asked should have set of red flags!!!
I decided to give it a try and started on monday - First day of training; which consisted of the District Manager (Michelle Prue) and the so-called business guru the president (Nick Boncci)... Also joing the meeting was another gentleman who had just started, Amy (coffee depatment); Chris (First Aid); Tom (offsite shredding)
They added nothing to the meeting or training... Nick address the meeting and didn't teach anything except how he owned a water company in Texasthat went public 20 years ago (name was never given); and that Ultimate water has been in business for 9 years in Florida and that they are the largest in the business (LIAR!!!) What a total wait of time... Oh! We had computer training that came up with stat and figure that were not supported by anyone or anything wait of time...
The second day I came in a little early to see what happens in their sales meeting... It was the DSM screaming at us about sales... No one in the room had made a sell or a trial (big goose eggs) Michelle (DSM) start telling stories about old sales sucesses; and possible trial accounts... After doing a investigation work speaking to the sales force, I discovered that no one has been their more that a few months... And no one has a company car or computer (binder with old POS material) What a Joke!!! And I fell for it...
Michelle paired me with one of the reps (David) she informed me that he was the lead sales rep for the district... This guys had been employed by the company for four days and had not made a trial placement or a sell... What a joke!!! So I decided to see what this is all about so I agreed to work with him; we drove seperate cars and headed to an area that i though would be good, he didn't even know what to do... He was to coach me? He had no sales skill except the ones this company forced into his head... A lot more to talk about but not enough room on the page
Please beware of this SCAM!!! Do Not waist your time; you may need it later in LIFE!!!
