Over a year ago, I worked as an "account manager" "distributor", or whatever creative title the company would like to give you. The company's names always changed. . because they would get slandered on these websites, craigslist, etc. . But the most recent name of the company is "THE MARKETING FIRM", which i believe consists of a couple different companies all under one name. .A dept in home depot, direct tv, fast wax, and smart circle. The specific manager/owner that I am reporting about is a man named John Nielsen.
I started in his office in Tucson, AZ. . which eventually got shut down because him and his business partner could no longer run it. A minority of the office moved up to Phoenix, in an attempt to re-open his business. This is where all of the discrepancies began, borrowing money, no more "paid-training", the whole pyramid scam elapsed. This man was considered my "trainer", or "manager". . . but what kind of manager doesn't have a vehicle and owes almost all of the people in the office money.
Besides the inappropriate sexual harassment and behavior that he indulged in, his demeanor seemed business-oriented. I basically worked 13-15 hr days, and had to use my own vehicle, paying gas out of pocket. . driving up to 20 miles a day. . no compensation. Upon arrival to the Phoenix office, it was 100% sales, there were weeks where I would make 50.00 for an entire week. I believe in the company, I was just horribly misled by my "trainer", John Nielsen. Unfortunately, me and a couple of his other employees all shared a home (kind of inappropriate right?), and on numerous occasions my manager needed money, rides, and owed everyone money.
After I finally left the company, and the home this man and his other roomates ran up a bill on our direct tv, which was $1200 bc him and his friends bought fights, playboy tv, porno movies, etc. My credit is completely messed up, I have a continued claim for all of the fees. THIS WAS OVER A YEAR AGO! The man still hasnt been able to pay me back the money, how pathetic. I just want to warn anyone going on interviews or job searching NOT to fall under this man's company, he is a scam artist. I'm not sure about the other managers or owners, I just know from my personal experience this man is not to be trusted. So, if you happen to get an interview .. . make sure you don't get him as a trainer or mentor.
