Twin City Events AKA SCAM CHARITY EVENTS Fake Event Planners Plymouth Minnesota
Twin City Events is another company on job finder sites that make me skeptical to finding a job using sites like Careerbuilder or Monster. Twin City Events (TCE) for short posted a few job openings on Careerbuilder with the caption: event planners, event marketers and entry-level positions with no experience needed! I already did an interview with their business counterpart Bay Area Promotions (BAP). I interviewed with BAP in early 2008 and was very irritated to find out this company wasted 1 day of my life, which I can never get back.
At TCE the same interviewing process was used. Poorly painted lobby with cheap decorations, fake awards on the wall, crappy top 40 BLASTING out of the radio and located in a former warehouse with cheaply made walls. I have almost 2 years experience working with the top event planners, catering companies and restaurants in New York City. I worked at a very professional company and assumed TCE was too. I got real excited to work for an event planning company in Minnesota.
I had called all my references and let them know of my potential job interview. Boy was I embarassed to have listed them for this job. After meeting with the interviewer, I put 2 and 2 together and realized it was the same process as BAP. I walked out disgusted and irritated that i wasted 2 more hours of my life that I can get back. BAP and TCE are 2 companies that should be ashamed of themselves, using young aged adults and desperate people to sell and move their cheap garbage and the false promises of big money that come with them.
Anyone in their right mind would quit after 2 days and report this company like me. I hope one day these people are shut down, arrested and banned from ever operating a company again. The interviewing process should be used by the Army to torture captured terrorist. I know that I would rather go to jail than work for this company. If any of you scumbag employees of BAP and TCE are reading this, send me $ for the wasted time I suffered at your expense and quit immediately.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Mon, February 23, 2009
I'm a former employee of TCE and in the beginning there were ethical people that worked there (not the owners, but employees) as time went on those people left or were let go in some cases and the company got more and more shady. I would work a min of 10-15 hours a day and only get paid for 8, and i was only paid for those 8 on 35%comission the other 2 to 7 hours were required but i was not paid. they would also charge one dollar for a every ten dollars which is grossly over charging tax,in most cases they would even charge a dollar for every five dollars, than they would take the money they over charged and they would pocket it. at the end of the night we would have to make sure our money was right and if we were short we were made to pay out of pocket for what was short, i was a victim of them when they more than one time minipulated my inventory to make me short so they could pocket the extra money. In the field i would try to train the people under me the ethical way, which was to be upfront and honest with the customers, but the unethical ones made more money by not being forthright. Unwilling to bend my morals and appaled by the buisness practices i left. you will be happy to know a couple months after i left they were investigated by a local news station, and it did not show them in a pretty light obviously. Valentina the manager was also sued by the attorney generals office and the company was shut down. You may not be so happy to hear that the company quantom (which is the companys name TCE was just a division of it) footed a lot of that lawsuit payoff to the attorney generals office. although it looks like she is no longer with the company the sd truth is they gave her a new office in New York, probably continuing to tarnish the name of great charitys.
