My fiance was hired at "Wentworth Marketing" in Atlanta, Georgia. First of all, the ads listed in the local paper stated that the positions is with a "Marketing" firm, lets be real, it's a glorified sales title. From day one the organization sounded squirrly and each day thereafter it got worse.
First of all, for a company's managers and vice presidents to tell their salary is just not right. They pump you up and ahve these ridiculous "pep rally's". They neglect to tell you that you do not get paid while in training, there are no benefits or car allowances adn the hours are stated to be 9-5.
A week later, they tell him there are mandatory road trips two weekends a month and he worked 11 hour days. Leaders and presidents called him throughout the evening on his personal time, sometimes at 11pm. It is the most backstabbing deceptive place I have ever encountered.
To top it off, they send my fiance out to a bad part of town to do a sales pitch. The business owner tells him to get the F - - - out, he apologizes and says "I am sorry to bother you, have a nice day". The owner follows my fiance outside and attacks him throwing him face down on the ground.
Obviously shaken, when my fiance returns to work, the president of wentworth Marketing says "Do not bring back negative energy back into the workplace" What kind of business is this? Then he proceeds to ask my fiance if he was being sarcastic to the man. Way to support your team. I can not believe people like this are in business and corporations actually use companies like this.
Their main client is Bellsouth and no time during their sales pitch do they inform clients that they are signing up for a 36 month contract, they hope clients do not ask. Very deceptive and most accurately described, a marketing cult.
I discourage anyone from wasting their time applying to any Cydcor Division. To be accosted while at your job then told you need to improve your attitude and not bring in negative energy, absolutely absurd. Oh, and better yet - the way they pay their employees, does not calculate, they will not pay until bellsouth pays them. So it hasbeen three weeks and he has not been paid.
He is quitting today and I am willing to bet, obtaining his check will be an act of god, as I am sure they have some loophole on paying people since it is "commission" only. I hope this company gets shut down, unfortunately the unemployment market in Atlant is rather high and desperate people are always in need for a job, so beware when you interview and ask a LOT of questions.
