DB Alan Promotions Granton Marketing ripoff Las Vegas Nevada
Don't waste your time unless you are young, have no kids, and NO life. You will work long hours - starting at about 8:30am and getting home at about 10:30pm at night, only to make a very minimal amount of money.
Basically, if you don't sell anything, you don't make any money.
However, they will tell you that they are not in the business to sell and that is not the biggest priority. But how can the business be promotional/marketing if selling is not a TOP priority??
First of all, there are three interviews before you get hired. The first one they do not tell you what you will be doing. The second one is usually the next day and the third one follows the same day, if you make it. On your first day of work - you still will NOT know what you will be doing. However, they do tell you to dress business attire and wear comfortable shoes. Why?
Because you will be going door to door soliciting coupons to entire neighborhoods. Not an easy job! You make approximately $9.00 per certificate and you are only given 15 a day. So does that tell you anything? Basically, no one sells more then 15. Most people don't even make it to 10.
I could write a whole spew about this company, however, I will leave the decision up to you whether or not you want to work your butt off for a small amount of money. They only promise that you will make it to management in 6 months. Yeah right. Hardly possible except for maybe .01% of the people who decide to pursue the "supposed" opportunity.
Do your research before starting with this company. You will be glad you did.

Maine Golf & Tennis Academy Nightmare!! The Truth
#2UPDATE Employee
Tue, July 27, 2004
An introduction about the owner of Maine Golf & Tennis Academy, Joel and Christa Lavensen. Joel works as a marriage counselor in Mass. and currently holds down three girlfriends and a clueless wife. He also has a number of law suits pending from campers and former employees.
I worked for this camp for part of the season and discovered things there that would terrify most parents. I was so horrified I left 3 weeks in without pay just to get away!
The childrens cabins are bugged and video taped and there were hidden video cameras all over the camp, including the girls showers houses (police arrested the maintainance man for this one). There wasn't enough food for the staff before the camp started and once the children arrived we were left hungery almost everyday. The buildings around the camp are not up to code. Many of them are near collapse with broken windows, missing screens, or worse.
Children and parents were denied contact for days and the phones are tapped as well! They were promised outings that never happened, swimming that, for all but one hour per day was closed. And the weather can get over 90 in the summer there. This camp was named CAMP NIGHTMARE by the campers when I left. And if you go and check it out for yourself you'll soon agree.
Joel hires counselors come from countries around the world only to pay them minimum wage or fire them without paying them. Many times, I've heard, he has dropped them on side of the road with no money and told them find your own way home. This is the TRUTH!
This camp claims to be affiliated with American Camping Association, Maine Youth Camping Association, and Maine State Golf Association.
Frank Manitua, a main draw for this camp has decided to no longer endorce this camp for all of the above reasons.
Parents BEWARE of this camp!!! It's bad for the kids and even worse for employees! You can't always trust people that speak elequently! I learned the hard way.
