Bold Acquisitions/ Adam Balsinger/ 212 Marketting Group Fake interviews fake management training program No reimbursment for all of incurred expenses No benefits no paid vacation Longest Hours of work ever Tarrytown New York
THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD!! You WONT GET PAID UNTIL A MONTH AFTER START DATE NO REIMBURSMENT FOR ANY OF YOUR EXPENSES! 100% COMMISSION This company will invite you on a first round interview that will take about 5 to 10 minutes then they'll invite you in for a second one because you supposedly impressed them (doesn't matter if you have a masters degree or a G.E.D. or no High School Diploma). During this second interview you will ride out in the car of a total stranger to some neighborhood in Westchester or Rockland county and knock on people's doors... YES DOORS! and try to sell them Verizon Fios Telling them it'll be cheaper than cable when really it'll be just the same if not more expensive. Then lunch happens at 3 or 330Pm and your "interviwer" will pull out a piece of paper and tell you that they're training individuals like you to become 'managers/business owners' in a matter of 12 months to 18 months. Truth of the matter is that if you're not the Manager's Room mate (Adam Balsinger, Maryellen Lamparter) you'll more than likely never going to make it into management (unless you do recruiting of your own Kind of like a multi-level marketting skeem. Once you're "hired" (I write it like that because truth of the matter is that they're trying to sell you on the business from the moment you walk thru the door! all you have to do is be nice and you'll get the 'job', doesn't matter what experience you have, ITS A FAKE INTERVIEW!!! All along they're trying to sell you on the Job Because they DESPERATELY NEED YOU) they'll tell you that you have to work 6 days a week from mon-fri from 1145am until 845pm. As soon as your second week passes however they'll want you to stay until 11pm or 12am in these so called TEAM NIGHTS in which a bunch of individuals from work will pretend to care for you but truth is all they're trying to do is look good in front of the managers. I saw this one guy who got fired just because a co-worker who was supposedly his friend went and accused him of drinking on the job, and this guy that got fired was one of the top account reps in the office but he was fired without any proof or witnesses of him doing anything! Its ridiculous. Thats funny when these people are always talking about being 'friends' 'business partners' when they're just full of it especially ADAM. You will work 10-12 hours daily and never know for sure what your check is going to look like because there is NO BASE SALARY 100% commission no benefits and if your sales get rejected if you were expecting 800 dollars after working your tail off guess what? you probably wont get JACK and That is what Bold Acquisitions is... a FRAUD!!!!

Bold Acquisitions is a Pyramid Scheme.

Adam Balsinger and Bold Acquisitions is pyramid scheme. (you will work UNDER him...not with him). All of their ads on Careerbuilder, Monster, and hotjobs are MISLEADING. Go ahead, look them up. There's a ton of cheesy, cornball'ish ads out there. Extremely representative of Adam, himself. Bold Acquisitions is a 100% commision based company. You only make money if you sell things. Its just like Cutco. You dont sell? You dont earn. The more people he can trick into selling under him, the more money the little weasel makes (the weasel being Adam).
If you dont have/want a social life, would like to move in with your boss (uh, WEIRD!!!), wanna make crap money, and work with a dishonest and backstabbing company...then i would recommend you apply at bold acquisitions and ask to work under Adam Balsinger. He would love for you to work under him. Adam Balsinger will tell you that "maybe you dont have what it takes to succeed in this business". Translation: You seem to be too honest with people. So honest, that I dont think it will be possible to train you how to lie and backstab, both with potential/current employees and customers.
Listen, Adam Balsinger is a spoiled punk. There is no argument about that here. Bold Acqusitions is a terribly run, poorly "owned", horribly managed, and barely profitable company. That is spot on. Bold Acqusitions is a farce of a company. Run by a farce of a manager, named Adam Balsinger.
BOLD ACQUISTIONS IS A PYRAMID SCHEME MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING MLM PLOY RUN BY ADAM BALSINGER.

I want to start by saying that EVERYTHING said in the report that this individual wrote, whoever he/she is IS TRUE. This company not only conducts fake interviews, they have HUNDREDS of ads on MONSTER on CAREER BUILDER even on CRAIGSLIST. All of which have different descriptions and looks but they're all for the same company. Once Working there they do pretend to be your best friend just so that one doesn't quit their lousy job. I must admit that there's a few nice people that work there, but for the most part they're all just FULL OF IT. They pretend to be so 'professional' when truth of the matter is they're not for instance one of the people who was supposed to be one of the 'ToP GUYS' was going around spreading rumors about how he had slept with the manager at his office and also saying stuff like that the only reason his manager got promoted was because she had been screwing her manager! It WAS RIDICULOUS and I was hearing these sorts of things being spoken of and I hadnt even been working there for that long it was SICKENING. I had to get out of there. BUT I am very glad that this SCAM that is GOING on in TARRYTOWN is FINALLY being exposed! The least professional people are actually trying to give advice to other individuals as to how to be professional! All those managers are doing is robbing young people of their talent and time so that they can put a rider on the sales that they break their backs to make daily and that is just plain wrong. POWER TO YOU DADDY YANKEE (whoever you are)
