Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
In may 2004 this chunky girl in a short shirt came to my door, sweating like crazy, so I felt bad for her. She asked me about the magazine and yea she said she was trying to win a trip to cancun.

I asked if she was in a cult!!! She told me no, but her and all the people she works with are living at her bosses house in Plainville CT. I thought it was kind of strange, so feeling even worse for her, I gave in and bought a magazine, and to make it worse- I had the construction guy working on my house buy one too!!!

She then gave me the sticker that said "BUG OFF JILL ROCKS". She did the same thing to a couple of my neighbors, I am so mad, I have tried calling the phone # she gave me several times and I get nothing.

I wonder if anyone has tried the location of the office in Coral Springs??

I wish I new about this web site before, well I will be smarter now.

I worked for PMI for about 8 months. I had a lot of good and some very bad experiences. This was in '98. Yes there are bad sales people and there are honest ones, like with any sales org. Though i do not recommend it to anyone. As a parent now i would NEVER allow my children to do it. The only good things about it were meeting new people and the travel (plus that is where i met my husband i was on #042 he was on #046...Cindy, Bonnie, especially Bo and Romeo thanks for introducing me to the love of my life). But there were a lot of bad things to. Yes you never get a day off for being sick, if you don't sell you don't make money (if you do you make great money). But when the work day was done that's when things were bad. I did the office work so I was in there a lot. A lot of drugs a lot of fights and everyone was a backstabber. We had people selling magazines that were not even on the list, though my boss did not put up with that I know others who would just turn their heads. I left because i just couldn't handle it any more and when you do make good sales they put a lot of pressure on you to make sure you do it ALL the time. Plus 2 days after I got home I found out I was pregnant, I left many messages at the company for them to have (my husband now) call me and they never would give him the message. I had to call and say I was his sister and there was an emergency to get the # to the hotel where they were staying. Finally got a hold of the GM (General Manager) and told him what was going on. He then told me he couldn't tell him cause he would want to quit to and they couldn't have that. As it turned out because he was a friend of my husband he told him but not without first doing everything in his power to convince him to stay. I'm just lucky I met a good guy who thought I was worth it. Well now we are a family and that time in our life is over. My husband is currently in the military deployed to Iraq but it is an honest living for our family and I am very proud of him. So not all the kids are horrible they are just confused and trying to find their way in this world. And for anyone who knows us...TPK and Maghen are doing great 2 kids nice home and wonderful marriage.

Ok, listen. If you still have your receipts, on them it says allow 90-120 days for delivery. I know that's a long time, but alot of magazine receipt's get processed. So, just be patient. This company isn't a rip-off. I know for a fact that people actually get the magazine's they purchase, because when I was working for this company, some people weren't interested in magazine's for themselves, so one of my rebuttal's to them was to buy one of my family member's a subscription, because then I still got my points for the contest. This worked on most, but not everyone. And to answer your other question...no, I don't work for this company, any longer. I was smart enough to get myself out of an already escalading dangerous situation. These "kids" have no morals, no manners, no respect, and are certainly out of control. Truth is, it's just like being back in High School, just 100x worse.

I absolutely understand that everything she told me was untrue, if it was true, I would have received my magazine by now. and I was trying to be nice about the "chunky" coment. Also I hope she comes back to my house again next year!! Do you still work there?? If so, what are my odds in getting my magazine or money back??

Jill gave you such a crock of sh*t. She was NOT living at her boss's house. She doesn't have a home, she lives out of Hotel's. Along with the other people she works with. We were staying at the Ramada Inn, in Plainville. They stay there every year, so expect a visit from her next year. NOBODY should buy magazines from her. All she ever spends her money on is booze and drugs. She isn't chunky, the b***h is freaking GARGANTUAN. So don't feel bad for her. And yes, the company PMI that people work for is a cult. They talk so much about positivity, but really, what they're teaching us to do is be conniving and deceitful. They tell the "kids" at morning meeting's that they're "paid actor's". Well, if that's what they call acting, then remind me never to buy a ticket if they ever hit the big screen!
