Complaint Review: ATX Marketing Endeavor Marketing Ryan McLemore - Austin Texas

I interviewed with this company a little over a year ago before I graduated from College. I don't think the people running the company are criminals, but deceptive? Yes. My initial interview consisted of a guy in a suit only a few years older than me glancing at my resume and chatting with me for maybe 10 minutes. I was told the company does event marketing for non-profit organizations. Right up my alley! I was excited. Later that day I got a call back for an all day second interview/trial day I accepted and showed up the next day to a lobby full of confused people. We weren't told what we would be doing that day, just handed a waiver to sign and one by one pulled into an office and then escorted out to the parking lot by a current employee. At this point people are wondering "Where are they going? What are we doing?" Well it turns out you go to retail places like Petco/Walmart/etc. and try to sell trinkets/toys saying it will benefit the D.A.R.E organization. Well yes it does benefit it, but not as much as people think. Maybe about 5% of the money earned goes to D.A.R.E. I just didn't appreciate being decieved and wasting my whole day on that silliness. I thought this was a professional marketing job, not standing outside a retail store selling junk, I don't need a marketing degree to do that.

I worked for this company for three months last summer, and it may have taught me more than any experience ever has. The confidence gained by being able to go up to people, particularly pricks like you, and try to talk to them despite the fact that you already know the answer is going to be "No," is extremely significant. I took out alot of interviews, like you went on, and I had alot of people like you who sat down and bitched and moaned the whole time about the weather being hot and people being mean and the oven having been left on..... While I have absolutely no idea who Ryan is, he is completely right. Have you ever been to a job where your social security number wasn't required? Or for that matter, have you ever been to a job that didn't have some sort of "application forms?" You're an absolute clown. The business is direct marketing, there are dozens of corporations around the country that do the same thing. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, and to have even considered the possibility that it was you must be incredibly unintelligent. For your sake I hope you were just being dramatic out of whatever resentment you hold at having to sit in the son for a couple of hours.

You are correct, I am a criminal, I've just been promoting the largest SHERIFF/ POLICE based organization under the radar for years because I'm so sneaky. I actually looked up sneaky on Wikipedia and that's what's been helping me all these years, thank God for those guys! You called the Attorney General too, so resourceful, I'm sure he'll get right on it ASAP. My company creates jobs, my company helps to pump hundreds of thousands of dollars into the economy because my employees take home paychecks weekly, and my company pays more taxes to the state and federal government in a year than you'll pay out in a lifetime!! Why would the Attorney General EVER care what you have to say when you're the one in the unemployment line? You came in for an interview and you didn't like it, who cares? Did I force you to apply? Did I force you to come on an observation day so you could find out what we do before you signed the dotted line? Organized pyramid scheme?? I own a business and people work for me, you're a quick one. They have our SOCIALS Criminal background check and taxes, can't do those without your Social. You think you know what being professional is? Please enlighten us once more with your outstanding wisdom and experience. Please let the rip off world know what your professional solutions are and why you are the epitome of business success. Looks like you're just another person who spends their entire life finding the negatives in EVERY situation but never has the guts to actually create something of their own, make a significant positive impact on society. I hope that I get 100 more reports with my name mentioned. Why don't people talk about you? It's because you've done nothing in your life worth talking about. So go ahead and post something else, I can't wait. I'm still waiting for that phone call from the Attorney General2 months and counting.
