Complaint Review: Sales Experts Inc. - Nationwide

This Company is the biggest scam I have ever seen. I started working here last year selling Vonage for Sales Experts INC in retail stores. They told me I would get paid hourly plus commission. When I got my first check which took over a month. I asked them where my hourly pay was and they then told me there wasn't any it was commission only. I worked 40 hours a week and barely made 200 bucks working for these guys. When I got the job I interviewed with some some guy at McDonalds that should of been a red flag but for whatever reason I went forward. When I expressed this issue with my manager he was no where to be found so I finally got ahold of the owner SHAWN  LEUTHOLD who first tried to deny he even knew of me. Then he finally admitted it was there mistake and he would correct it. He never did but it kept me working there for  couple more months. So then I called him back and to express my concerns and he once again apologized and told me he had a new campaign where I could just give the phones out for free instead of selling them. He even told me he would make me a manager so I went through with it. I came into my new office which we were sharing with someone else to meet my new team. Not much to my surprise there was no one assigned to my team. I then asked him what was going on and he told me I had to build my own. So I had to spend my own money posting adds buying tablets and materials for reps I finally built up a 10 plus man team and we were finally doing great numbers. The first week I got my override check I was told I would get a $3 ovveride. We did over 600 sales and I was only paid $300 in overrides. I was pissed. I then called him again and he told me that I was sharing the overrides with some manager I didn't even know. 

Then I was told I would be reimbersed for all the money I spent ordering sales materials tents tablets etc. This is another way they baited me into staying. Of course I was never reimbersed. Then for the cherry on top my team broke 700 sales in a week I did 150 of those personally and I was demoted to sales rep and I had to give up my team to some guy I didn't even know. On top of that I never got any overrides besides the $300 bucks. Then come to find out that we were supposed to have permits and I was told that the company paid for them and not to worry. My entire team got ticketed in Fresno. I called SHAWN  LEUTHOLD and he just hung up on me. In the meantime my team manager was trying to get us to sell for 2 phone companies on the spot because we were selling drop ship and we wanted to have phones on the spot too. This seemed super shady to me so I finally left. When it was all said and done I lost more money than I made working for this company. Sales Experts inc salesexpertsinc.com/ is the biggest scam in direct sales. They talk about how they have so many contracts with so many companies but they can't even hold one down. They are so disorganized their business model is literally to rip their employees off by strining them along. After doing my research it looks like I'm not the only one that got ripped off by Sales Experts INC. Not to mention half my reps never even received a check period. I was lucky for at least getting some money I know a lot of people who never got paid at all this company is a total scam. I left to go work for UPI they are way more organized I'm done working for mom and pop shops.
