Infinity Advertising is a dishonest company... Who is no longer open and still has their website active, has their profile still open with Career Builder as if they are still employeeing people, and Have that they offer a BASE PAY to entry level when they dont, it is all commission. That is dishonesty right there.
I went in for an interview July 20th and was hired on the spot and told to come back for the Observation Day and for Management position! I was so excited because the company works with the sports industry. Well here comes Observation Day i rode out with the Manager. He lied and cheated every person he talked to out in the field. Cutting deals on the price of the incentive packages.
Well for the first week we did nothing with sports it was PIZZA, SPAS, MOVEIS. Hello were are the SPORTS. Then i was told i would be doing B to B (business to business) well we started in D to D (door to door).
Walking for hours no water, food, shelter from stroms.
Mind you it was about 95 degrees every day and we had to dress professional out in the field! We ate luch at 3 or 4 when some people are winding down to go home! I was also told i would not work late but every night i would step in my Apartment at 10:30 or 11 P.M. At times. So imagine from 9 am to 10 pm. Some days you would make $20.00. Using your vehicle and paying for the newbies luches! Gas prices right now! You could imagine, then your boss asking you for a ride home!
It was a awful day the second day we had to take new hires out with us in the field and give them the lie load down. "Well Wes brought you back for Management". I was like in my mind, he told me that i was the only one, but for the next couple of days everyone was in for management. I was noticing the reeling in of everyone because the newbies seemed to all stay.
Lie after Lie. So when i asked my trainer how long have they been working on these incentive packages with PIZZA, SPAS, and MOVIES... She said she has been there 2 months and some have been there for 6 months and they have not got to work with sports incentive packages. Those were for the managers (to make money) while the newbies had to work with crap, we were in neighbor hoods where people of a certian decent didnt eat pizza! So there goes 13 hrs with no pay!
We were told we had city permits which we didnt. One of the girls was arrested in Flower Mound and called our BOSS WES to have him bring the city permit so they would not press charges and reless her, he didnt. WHY? Because we didnt have permits to be out in every county, town or city! We were traspassing and doing this illegal. She had to call her parents to come bail her out!
So now that is on her record. Solicitation. Only one person had a permit and that was from his previous sales job out of state, it was expired and not for Texas! All these toughts were going through my mind asking myself everyday is this worth getting in trouble i have a family mind you a 2 yr old.
This is over a three day period mind you! So payday is comming up and we had to place our names on a list to get a paycheck on Friday. Well aparently he did not want to pay me. Because on payday i was owed for one weeks training of 300.00, half of every sale i made total of 150.00, what was in my security account (place where we put our money so we wouldnt walk out of the office every night with cash) so it was like a savings acct. 80.00. So i would say i had about 530.00 comming well i got cut a 50.00 check! WHAT THE HELL!
At that point i was so scared i was wondering what happened to my money. So when i asked to speak with him the HR told me he was gone for the day. Why was his office door closed,? He knew he was gonna have a lot of pissed off people cause i wasnt the only one! So i went in early the next day to catch him off gaurd and ask him about this! He got very definsive and turned red i guess he didnt think i was that type of person.
I am like everyone else when it comes to money! So i told him fix the problem today and i wil continue to work for you or i am out! He wouldnt work with me by getting my money what he owed me so i told him i am out. He told me he would send my check to me through the mail. Week later i called one of my friends who stayed and asked how it was going and what was going on cause over night when i decided to call because my check had not arrived after 2 weeks, all the numbers were disconnected! She said "WES told us 2 days ago he was closing down and moving to Orlando FL. They all lost their jobs and still have not recieved there paychecks and niether have I!
The owner was 26 years old and supposivly had all this money but didnt have a vehicle. He would bum rides off of everyone and so did the ASSt MANAGER! Come to find out someone called his boss is Florida and we were told the company closed due to insifficient funds! So of course we all knew at that point no one was getting paid! I hope this doesnt happen to any one so please use cation.
Dont be afraid to ask other co-workers things, do your own internal investigation. If i would have know half of the things i found out in one week i would have left sooner! Till this day i still call him everyday, even though he doesnt anwer. I just want him to man up and pick up the phone and say I am sorry but i can not pay you or say I will pay you! He must not have a heart or soul because alot of the men and women who worked for that company have bills and repos comming up!
I feel sorry for Mark Cuban and Tom Hicks who paid this company to create these incentive packages to market the teams and fill the seats. Where is that money? With the owner and in the same pile with all of our checks!
