Powerhoutz Promotions Excorporated With a little Lube, the friction from PPI won't hurt as much! Avoid J.U.I.C.E!! ripoff we lost our souls Glenview Illinois
My friend and I joined this so-called company last year. You can call me Yames Spaz-Bill and him Ren Quinton. Although we both learned a lot of languages and how to read people, we lost our souls. The demise of our humanity occurred through a series of incongruities in the "management learning" process. If any item we carried broke, we still were responsible to sell it.
We were told that we were the managers of our own businesses, yet we were not able to call in sick or take a personal day due to an emergency. We worked 6 days a week for at least 12 hours a day (unless you were a team leader like us, then you had to work 14 hours a day....YEAH!!). Overtime? .hmm..NO! Do you like your car? Well it will go to hell in a hand basket real quick if you do this job. You want to get robbed? Yelled at? Assaulted? How about getting told to "keep a positive attitude" or "JUICE!" every single day? If so, this is your calling. JUICE means Join US In Creating Excitement, or was it excrement?, and we were told to yell this acronym after everything we did. We do have to add some of the positives about the job, since we both worked there over 5 months and 11 months respectively. We both lost a lot of weight.
It may have had something to do with the malnutrition, since we rarely had enough for three whole meals a day, and the lack of sleep. Or maybe the 10+ miles we walked a day. Either way, we won in the end. Sometimes (AKA often) our daily meal consisted of a Monster energy drink and a Mars bar. When we did well on a certain week, we would buy ourselves a Little Debbie Snack Cake. We were both told we were going to be able to open our own offices, but we left the business for ethical reasons.
If you are considering whether this job option is right for you, think about it. Think about it long and hard. Then jab yourself in the face with the nearest sharp stick. Do you still want the job? If yes, repeat steps 1 through 3 and then get in there for your three job interviews.

My name is jaki and I worked for Billy 6 tortured month's.
He is a piece of s**t who could't care less of his "guys". He will yell at you and curse at you and cut you down one minute, then tell you to have a great attitude in the same breath... ARE YOU SERIOUSE?!?!? He was constantly sexually harrassing me. He claims that people who cut his company down are "not the sharpest tools in the shed" and at the same time the smart ones are the one's who tell him F-you! He is a liar who will tell you there's no "selling" flat out then turn you around and send you out on your "second interview" to sell the CRAP he calls merchendise!!! He is not a millionaire, like some dumb girl put on another threads rebuttal, he is so broke it's hilariouse. I pitty his fat a**. He got angry with me because I took 3 days off for christmas to see my son (whome I lost custody of due to the simple fact I worked for his company) and mom- I hadn't seen them in 5 months!!! What's funny is he insults people on this site for being uneducated, yet wasn't it he who would yell to me from his office "Jaki! how do you spell...?!"I was told to LIE on the phone to possible interview-ees!
the fact is PWERHOUTZ PROMOTIONS IS A SCAM- AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!! you will never make the money he promises you unless you break the law. You will never really make management unless you have no family or real friends.
