Complaint Review: Compustar

I was employed by compustar in Jan of 2004 I had never had a telemarketing job before and was apalled at having to lie to the people I was calling and trying to sell over priced printer toner too. We were given stacks of googled company names and numbers and told to call them , lie, get their printer model numbers and pitch them for a product that was insanley over priced.

Well I have a small child and needed money so I did it. Well Terry never liked me, I couldn't tell you why, maybe it was because she knew I saw through her and knew this was a scam. I didn't even care if I made a sale as long as i got my 8.00 an hour. But my last week there I was injured in a car accident and broke a small bone in my wrist. The first day I had a cast then after that i was to wear a brace, but trying to dial numbers and writing down info,was hard and making my pain worse, so i took off my brace, she gave me hell about it and said I was lying, well the next day I had to go to the orthopedic surgeons office and was there most of the day due to x-rays that were not transferred from the er to the dr's office. I came back to work with a dr's note. I asked Terry if she wanted it and she didn't say anything she just yelled at me for being gone all day.

A few days after that I was on the phone with a client and he was going to buy the joke I was selling, and i kinda waved her away she was talking to me, and I couldn't listen and respond to both at once. Next day I'm sitting at my desk getting ready to start and she started demeaning me in front of everyone and said i was fired , using the waving move I had given her the day before. She told me to get the F**K out. I had to argue with her to let me use the phone to call my boyfriend to come and pick me up, and i had to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes until he got there. I went Friday to get my check, and my comission wasn't on my check. I should've had a check for 800. and got one for 150.

Don't Work for compustar and definately don't buy the trash they are selling! If anyone ever calls your company and says " hi this is so and so from compustar I 'm calling to check the model number on your printer" tell the to get F****D!
