Complaint Review: Achieving Independent Success - Steve Tejeda - Dana Tejeda

I went in for my first interview at A.I.S. in the beginning of february. I was hired and offered to go to a second interview. i was on of the "cream of the crop" chosen. we were all told that if we sold 27 bottles of this fake "s**t" like steve and mikey said, we wouldn't have to sell any more perfumes ever and we would be moving ahead to management training. after the first week we were promised to get paid 400 dollars fortraing that never happened. When people would leave and never comeback steve would go off saying that they were a piece of s**t. I was always skeptical but I decided to stick it out.

What went from working 8 hours a day suddenly changed to working from 8 a.m. till 11p.m. or 12 a.m. We were instructed to lie and we were never given an income tax return form to fill. i remember that on our second day we were told to fill out an application with all of our personal info. like s.s. # dl# address and so forth. i'm very worried about that now. Steve told us that that we didn't need to fill out those w-2 forms because we were going to be paid in cash until we became managers that supposedly were going to be paid $30,000 a year and no less. He said "WHAT THE I.R.S. don't know won't hurt me" he also said that we were not breaking the law by going and selling those fake perfumes on businesses.

If it isn't illegal then why did I, along with other people, get escorted by police officers off of the property of k-mart. I was even told that I could be arrested and have the merchandise confiscated from me. (I was told that if that ever happened that i would have to pay the full amount for all the merchandise to a.i.s..)

The point is I stayed there for 1 full month until i found a nother job that actually paid me and respected me and didn't make me work every single day of the week for about 14 hours a day. i even got into a huge car accident and was in the hosp for a day. they didn't care or ask me how i was. i wish i never would have gone to that first interview. now i have a better job but no car seeing how the accident was not my fault and the other driver had no insurance. These people almost killed me with their stupid fake perfume selling at midnight. I advise everyone, please beware because everything they say is a lie.
