I worked for AD EFX for a few months in the Dallas Texas location.
I'm going to tell you what you need to know.
Do not buy from them...
If your going to buy these brochures for these spa companies be sure to call the spa company on the spot and confirm any advertising claims the Ad efx rep has made.
As a former employee I can tell you that I witnessed first hand a "corporate trainer" false advertising. For example she would tell potential consumers that a 1hr massage was included even though it was actually a 20 minute massage. She would say that you had the option of having a wine or coctail during your therapy when it in fact was a soda or juice. Not all Ad Efx employees that I witnessed do this. But i did see this happen from different people on more than 1 occassion.
Do not work for them...
They scam just to get people in the door. They advertise false positions in places like craigslist.org. When you walk in the door they tell you the position has been filled but another position is open. They dont give you any real details. They tell you to come back in another time and be prepared to train. They MIGHT tell you that its not paid or might not. Ive seen both scenarios happen. You'll come in and before you know what is actually going on, your stuck in the car with one of the ad efx people watching them sell. You do not get paid for training. If you start working them. They tell you your an independent contracter and make u sign a paper each day of work. Yet they tell you to come in an hr or 2 before you even get to go out and actually start trying to make money. Then you have to come back for an hour and turn in your certificates (brochures), checks/credit card slips etc etc. Also, lets say you get a couple bad checks, well they dont actually show u the documentation - they just deduct it from your paycheck.
Be prepared to put tons of wear and tear in your vehicle and not receive any reimburcement for gas because your an independent contracter. Maybe you can ride with a co-worker who will drop you off somewhere as you walk business to business, door to door, or work traffic flow (people in a mall) to try and sell. They may have you train people, which you do not get paid to do. You do not receive money to drive these people around, and you infact lose money because your trying to train andn work at same time and it will keep you from selling. However this is great for ad efx because they pay nothing to train new people since your doing it for them. As an independent contractor this just doesnt seem right.
This whole company is bulls*t, the way they do things is bullshit.
And remember, you are commission based you will not get a penny if you dont sell anything.
Important, they might not tell you until after you start working that the first 200 dollars you make for yourself goes into your "account" which you cant touch. They tell you that they will give it back to you when ever you leave the company. And that it will come in 10-14 days. It's been over a month since ive worked there and about 30 follow phone calls and I have yet to receive MY MONEY.
I dont know the sales laws but I know they dont teach you about them or give any kind of license. They will teach you to go into buildings clearly marked no solicitation. That is just an example.
These people have no real office or phone number, good luck trying to get a hold of anyone. They have no website.
What kind of company has no website, no clear way to contact them. I'll tell you what kind of company... A company who wants to scam and get paid and not be held responsible for anything.
