I had the unfortunate opportunity to "work" for this company in 2008. I want to express the clear fact that it is NOT the salespersons fault that they work for this b*stard of a company. Most of the "crew" are 18-25 year olds that have problems at home. The company preys on these people. Offers them incentives and free travel and room and board. What they don't tell you is that a vacation in auschwitz would be easier than what is expected of you.
We wake up at 6am, meet in the parking lot of the motel in whatever city they have decided to "jump" to. Scream motivational rants which tend to be obscene and meaningless. The leader of this crew, Chase Wood, has a sales meeting every morning in which he basically belittles everyone for not making him enough money. I have personally seen him hit a female co slaver for trying to defend herself and her sales.
After our meeting we are grouped into suburbans and taken to neighborhoods up to 50 miles from the motel. We are individually dropped off and expected to make 3 sales per drop. We do 4-5 drops per day. Each drop is 1-2 hours. We end up at the motel around 930pm if were lucky. Chase then goes over our sales and "pays" us accordingly. My biggest payout was $40 in quarters for a 12 hour workday in which I walked 6 niles and was bitten by a brown recluse spider in missouri and was almost raped in the home of someone I was trying to "smash". I was not allowed to take time off to see a dr or recover. Had it not been for the ace bandage cutting off my circulation I would have lost my leg. They tell you they will pay for a ride home if you decide u don't want to work for them. This is after 2 weeks of brainwashing. I had to make up a story that my brother died in order to leave. And even then they wouldn't send me home.
This is just the tip of the iceburg of what I had to endure. My heart truly goes out to the people that are still stuck with this company for whatever reason. I have made it a point to buy from anyone that comes to my door now because I know what it means to have that 1 more sale... Might make the difference in that persons day. Might mean they "get" to eat that day.
