I thought that looked shady, until i went to
5861 S Kyrene Rd # 2
Tempe, AZ 85283
The name in Google is Atlas Supply, the name on the window is West Builders Supply. I filled out an application, the "secretary" was talking on the phone with her friend the entire time. I got an interview, if you can call it that.
Some guy in a wife beater with a button up shirt on, tattoos on his arms interviewed me. He didn't ask me any regular questions, just told me that the warehouse just got filled, HOW CONVIENT. I had a weird feeling about it, but figured i would give it a shot for 14 bucks an hour. I went in the next day, found out its just a back room with old teachers desks, and old phones. No computers or anything past 1990 in there. There is no warehouse, its just a scam to get people in there. Its a shady illegal telemarketing scam.
Vic is right, they don't use the real names, while i was there i was under supervision of 'Dennis'. This guy is a real piece of work. They call up people 7 times a day and harass them to buy these products which are just refurbished crap, and they sell them as new. I listened to a few calls and they all knew who the telemarketer was, pleading them to stop calling. When the person hangs up, they call them on their cellphone and start threatening them and cursing them out. They do not honor the donotcall list. They get their info from SalesGenie and Something else.
They target owners of construction businesses. Before i began i expected to sign tax docs, nope they are under the table, instead i signed a contract.in the contract it says that i won't get my last 2 paychecks until 180 days. Also states that i won't get paid unless i sell 5000 dollars of items in a week!!!
After listening to dennis make calls, and hear the other people take calls, i wanted the hell out of there, and i left.
When i left i talked to someone that said he is working there for over a week and they keep making excuses why they havent paid him yet. He then said he is going to quit because what they are doing is harrasment, illegal, shady, and just isn't moral. THese guys will not stop calling until they sell you something, then you are good for maybe a week if you are lucky.
One guy on the phone said the gator blades look like they were resharpened and painted black, probably were. Also in the contract they had me sign, it said i must say Atlas Contrators and he blacked out Supply. Well there is a real company called Atlas COntractors and they are not affiliated with them in any way.
I did not get paid for the 1/2 a day i was there, i just wanted out of there, i also took my app and contract so they couldnt harasse me either. They need to be shutdown.
There info:
Atlas Supply, aka west builders supply, aka cal pacific products.
