Kirby - Lippy And Associates Attempted to not pay GOT MY MONEY HAHAHA ripoff Springfield Ohio
I replied to an ad in the paper of 400 a week 1000 sign on bonus. I go through all the training and learn that for the first month you get paid 400 a week as long as you show your kirby vaccuum 10 times (demo's or whatever). After that it's all commissions.
Well I showed my kirby 10 times and Ralph Brown, my loser manager decided not to pay me. (Just to let you know what kind of loser he was, our entire team of around 20 people went to wendys and after about 9 people ordered he said it costs too much and left. They already made the food sadly. So it was all wasted)
Anyway during this time my buddy Dustin was selling somthing called prepaid legal. I called him up and asked him what it does and he told me for a monthly membership I can get Ohio's top attorneys to write a letter or goto court on my behalf. So I signed up its only 400 dollars but it was my money ya know. Maguire and Shnider wrote a letter for me saying Mr. Brown it'd be in your best interest to pay Tyson his money (mostly in big words, you know how attorneys do)
And what do you know I got a phone call about 2 weeks later from the attorneys office saying that they have a check waiting for me! No reason, no explanation just my money. I was freakin sweet. Me and the wifey went out to our favorite restraunt and to the movies but look any of you that have had the same problem with Kirby PLEASE don't let them do to you what they tried with me. Email me (by using the rebuttal box below) your situation and I'll try my best to help you cuz God knows if you dont sell a $2000 vaccuum they wont pay you.

Prepaid is not very reliable either

They have at least 49 complaints listed on ROR.
I was contacted by Prepaid Legal while I was looking into work at home opportunities and decided against them based on internet complaint boards.
The person who contacted to join was absolutely livid when I told him after researching the company I was not interested.
It worked for you this time, I hope you have continued support

Ripped off repeatedly- for customers and ex employees

Not only does the company repeatedly not pay people their money, they fool people into working there in the first place and rip off the customers. I was never denied my money (thanks to one of the managers who does not work there any longer to my knowledge taking a "personal interest" in me, although he did steal money from me)... however, I responded to their ad and not until the day we were pushed into a van and forced to walk door to door coercing innocent homeowners to let us in did I know exactly what I would be doing.
They put ads in the paper such as this "Entry Level COOL BOYS AND GIRLS NEEDED!! We need 18-24 people to work full time in our set-up and display department! No experience required. We train! Full time and permanent position with great opportunity to advance! Applicants must enjoy loud music and working with the opposite sex!! We are hiring for Reynoldsburg, Lancaster, and West Columbus. Set-up and display Customer Service Telemarketing (part time) $400 WK CALL NOW!! 614-322-9210". This attracts a wide variety of people, including those with criminal backgrounds, who they DO hire and they DO allow to go into people's homes to sell the vacuums. And the people who drive all these woeful salespeople around, at least while I was working there, often had several (in one case 9 or 10!) DUI's. It's just not safe.
Not only this, but just so customers know, the distributor buys the vaccuums for less than $400 each, selling them to the customer for about $2000. Don't buy these vaccuums and don't work for them, it's just a tragedy waiting to happen.

It is sales, they are doing you a favor by paying you a 400.00 check, when you did not sale a thing.You did not do him a favor by coming to work, and wasting time, in sales you generate money by saleing, and if you don't sale there is know money. You should be greatful that he even thought about given you money anyway. In your dealer packet the distributor only has to pay you 10% of what is owed, if any party terminates there agreement.
