Carol Morris, owner and only boss of 'The Home and Garden Bag, Inc., hired me to sell advertising. I have experience in this position, however it usually takes a phone call and a followup in person to close the deal. Carol would not allow anyone but herself to do the personal followup and she took it out of your pay if she had to do a presentation. If you did not sell on the first phone call, she screamed at you in front of everyone. When I say screamed, I mean it in the literal sense, she would call you names and belittle your ability to sell.
Most people realize, advertising is much easier to sell if you can show the client examples and the client is able to meet and talk with the salesperson. It's difficult to sell over the phone and practically impossible to sell on the first call.
I lasted a week of abuse and quit. Carol said I would get my pay on Monday. When I called on Monday, she said "I've decided not to pay you." She obviously has done this to many people, the turnover rate was enormous. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General in Lansing and now, two years later, they said she has paid them some money. I found out through the AG's office that three other people have filed against this company after me.
Never, ever work for this woman, she is evil.
