Complaint Review: PN and B marketing

The Charlotte, NC branch of Scentura Creations: PN & B Marketing, is not the place to work. I responded to a ad in the newspaper and I thought this was going to be a great opportunity to earn $175-400 a week!

I was totally wrong. I worked there a week, 8:30 AM to 6:00 or later. Fridays we were expected to work until we met our goal and go into a meeting on Saturday for 3 hours. This is WAY over 50 hours a week.

I spent more money on gas to travel places to try to sell with 2 others than I made selling bottles. At $10 or less per bottle, you aren't making anything.

It sucks and is a ripoff. You work for bonuses and commission, and if you don't sell anything in working your 50+ hours a week, you don't get paid at all. I have school to pay for and bills. I didn't need a job that I might not get paid with.

Plus, the assistant manager harrasses the female employees. He is engaged to another girl, yet flirts with everybody else.

Then, when I tried to quit, the guy goes off on me and tries to blame my unsuccessful week on myself. I didn't feel comfortable running around and talking to people in the worst parts of town and trying to get them to buy a bottle of cheap knockoffs of perfume and cologne. I heard from some customers that the product stained their clothes and didn't smell good after a few weeks. That is stupid!

The cheap product is a ripoff and the job is very unrewarding. The management is getting rich off of the unknowledgeable people they get to go out and do their dirty work. How mean is that?

They didn't even tell you what the company was doing exactly until training. The second interview just told you where the offices are, the brief history of the company and how rich those people were, and that you were selling perfume.

They did not say that you had to travel all over the place to sell it and how you were to sell it (soliciting). The job was sleazy and uncomfortable.

We did not even fill out tax forms or anything, so we have no way to report to the IRS how much we make, etc. There are also numerous reports online on the scams the branches of Scentura Creations he been involved in.

They are sending unsuspecting teenagers onto the streets selling knockoff products to total strangers and not getting paid unless they sell a bottle.
