Complaint Review: Eliot Management Group

I was employed by EMG from April 2011 to January 2012, and I was not compensated as required by state law.  Once I had completed the unpaid training, I began selling.  The only income received came from commissions (although this was not what was expected upon hiring) from door-to-door sales or "cold call sales"; therefore, while varied income is expected in sales, I did expect to receive minimum wage, as I was working over 40 hours per week and using my own vehicle and cell phone and supplies.  This was not the case.  I did not receive minimum wage.  They lied upon hiring.  They lied to their employees.  They lied to their clients.  I may not work for them now, but I still receive phone calls from EMG clients who are outraged over the troubles EMG is giving them.  Some of these clients were personal family friends so I have done what I can to help them; however, the best solution for them was to cancel any plans with EMG and find a reputable company to process credit cards, etc.  EMG knowingly takes advantage of their employees and their clients through dishonest methods, broken promises and muddy policies, which benefit EMG Corporate - leaving their bottom rung employees (sales reps) and their customers both broke, angry/upset and completely utterly dissatisfied.  The worst of it is that I believed their promises, desperate to support my family, and I continued to give the job my all in hopes of catching that "prize" (financial security) they continually held out in front of me just our of reach.
