I couldn't agree with you more. I am happy to hear that you only had to experience one "office". I am from Las Vegas and about two years ago I started with American Eagle in Las Vegas. Worst mistake of my life! The only reason I stayed more than a week with this shady company is because I made $375 my first day (or so I thought since little did I know they keep 25% if not more). But anyways, I stuck it out and was anxious to go on a "road trip" because I was under the impression that it would be an actual business trip. I didn't know this wasn't an actual business and that I would end up driving MY car and paying for gas,food,hotel,etc. with MY money. Not only did we pay for it but we had to share a room with 4 other guys. Only two beds. Horrible experience, but I belived. Stupid me. So we are 15 hours away in Lubbock, TX and I get an offer to move to Indianapolis where "They were making $1000 a week" (yeah right) they were really making $50-100 a week. But I belived and I packed up everything I owned and moved all the way across the country to Indianapolis. What did I have to lose right? To make a long story short, they ended up moving half the office to Federal Way and I knew I had to get out so I quit and now have an excellent, NORMAL, job that gives it's employees a real salary + comission, paid holidays and vacations, benefits, paid business trips, and best of all RESPECT. We are not taught to lie, cheat, and steal our way to the top. I may have had my car reposessed, lost my hometime friends, moved to a place I really don't like, went severely into debt, and had my credit drug through the mud, but the job I have now is well worth it.
