Complaint Review: Cornerstone America - Scottsdale Arizona

I am new to this site, but reading what I have, I will tell you, whenever anyone sends me a form letter (see below and compare to others on this site) that is the same as others sent out across the country, the first thing in my mind is "scam". Plain & simple. I mean if I was of interest to an empoyer or company, then I would expect a personal letter sent to me to arrange an interview and discuss my credentials and skills over the past 25 years, right? My business has been though hell dealing with federal authorities, banking industry fraud investigators and other agencies internationally in the past several years with business dealings we dealt with on other matters as part of DD, and whenever anything like this pops up (form letter e-mail solicitations), it is a red flag to those investigators- period. It usually means a mass solicitation for some situation that is not honest about exposing its whole self openly (kind of like Nigerian 419). I am not here to bash Cornerstone, but to display facts we know to be true and verified under public records for all to see. I base my decisons of these facts regardless of the business at hand. Sure, I needed extra cash flow for my business and looking for new opportunities and posted my resume on a few national job sites. But, I find, a lot of MLM's and others of low character & ethics of business try to approach you finding your resumes as if they have a wonderful management position for you from their major corporate firm and want you to go to a meeting, and then later, you find out really what it is all about and feel duped. I thought I could bring being an Agent with Cornerstone into the existing corp. structure we have; but just the research we have done and now reading this site tells my better judgement it is too risky on many levels.

We have been with Cornerstone for over four years. It was the best decision that we have ever made. I guess that is because we spend most of our time making sales instead of making excuses. Cornerstone has allowed us to do things we never thought possible. Everyone wants to be successful in life, they just don't want to work for it. As for you Jason, maybe you should spend some time figuring out the facts instead of drawing conclusions based on a few people that obviously have no work ethic or desire to be successful in life. You posted your resume online, at what point are upset that it received a response? I don't understand how you can call our company "shady" when you actually have no idea what we are about. You have judged us based on a few incorrect statements. Hopefully, someday you will be able to make some of your own decisions in life.

I can clip and paste too...just wanted people to know the truth; Cornerstone America is not "ultra-shady" according to 2200 reps nationwide who are successful and fufilled in there positions. I am sure Mr. Morris (a phenomenal businessman and person) is also happy you are not wasting his time. Crooks?? Pretty strong allegation for someone who cannot even pick up the phone or find legitimate information on the web about who Cornerstone really is. This is not a snip it, its the entire message and it is true in its entirety . I hope you find a job soon so you don't have time to trash legitimate opportunities for real sales people.
