AN E.O.E.

Well it looks like a pretty eye catching add right. But Wrong. It's a scam. Paid Training is 3 weeks making 6.50 an hour ok, then after that it goes up to 8.00 an hour but it is required then you must have 4 shows to show up in a week to make a commission at all. 15 shows are required every week.

The reason for the Fairfield Call Center is to get people who stayed at one of there company owned hotels to come take a high pressure sales tour at one of there resorts throughout the eastern us by doing this you must marketing and rebutteling endlessly to primarily older residents and who are mostly home during the day. The Sales lead list on the automatic dialer also consists of many government agencies and doctors offices in which many get very angry and others that just hang right up on you!

If you dont rebuttle endlessly even to government agencies and even hospitals who could get written up or a verbal warning. Many times the dialer is very slow because of the poor leads and the leads that are exausted. IE: when the dialer is slow one day you might take 70 to 90 calls in a 5 hour period in which 50 percent of them are usually answering machines and 20 percent are hang ups right away mostly because people see fairfield on the caller id and dont want to be bothered by them for the tenth time. Then that leaves for about 15 calls you get to rebuttel and try to persuade to come to a tour where you will receive a comp vacation package 3 days 2 night stays just for coming to the resort where they will give a high pressured sales pitch for an hour and a half.

In addition many of the people you call live 2 or 3 yours away from the resort to take the tour and that makes even more impossible to get them to come down and take a tour at a resort. The funny thing they say tuition reinbursment in there ad, however if you dont have 4 shows and 15 appointments set a week in less than two months the get rid of you, regardless of slow and horrible leads throughout the time span. So I really doubt many people utalized the so called tuition reinbursement or the vacation or sick days that kick in well over three months in a place where the turnover rate is about 85-90 percent. If it was such a great place to work they wouldnt have an ad in the paper every day trying to recruit new people to come work there.

Most people quit after training because they see its such a scam and many get fired after two or three months because they dont get there shows because it is virtually impossible with those leads and the slow dialers.
So people in the area just watch out to ads like this in already tough job market trying to suck you in with false advertising. This job site is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
