Like many, I have read several of the entries about DSMax and Granton Marketing trying to determine if I was the only one who felt that something wasn't right about this Company. Besides my own personal experience, there are a few things that really stand out and confirm my belief that these organizations are ripoffs.
First, the job advertisements are misleading and vague. What kind of company has to tell lies and leave out information just to get you in the door for an interview? Then when you get there, the interview process is not only a total joke but also a bunch of lies. During the initial interview, so many lies are told about the Company. The positions that are described and offered to individuals are totally misleading and false. From the first to the second interview more and more lies are told to to try and keep you interested.
Secondly, after you accept the job and decide to give it a try, you not only realize that you're making next to nothing, but you are also putting wear and tear on your own vehicle driving from suburb to suburb while burning gas, paying tolls and buying food all without getting reimbursed. What a Ripoff!!
Third, if you are embarrassed to tell your family and friends about what you do for a living something is definitely wrong with that picture.
Finally, name one company in the United States where you have to pay whomever you're training $50 per day regarless of what their own production was? WAKE UP people!!! Yes, the $50 comes from you the employee not the Company. Yes, the paid training you see in the newspaper or on the internet comes straight out of your pocket as a team leader not the owner of the business. Something they don't tell you in the interview process. So basically, if you sell $75 worth of wheelchair books and you pay $50 to a trainee, $10 on gas and tolls, $10 on food, that 12 hour work day leaves you with $5 to take home. How are you suppose to pay your bills with what you have left over? This company will put you in THE POOR HOUSE if you let it. Don't be brainwashed, get out before it's too late. I did.
