Working in this company ?
My boyfriend worked for this company for about a month and a half, and unfortunately, his experience was completely different from what was presented during the hiring process.
During the interviews and meetings, the opportunity was presented as something where you could make very good money. There were multiple meetings, a lot of promises about the earning potential, and a strong emphasis on how successful you could be if you worked hard.
What we did not understand at the time was how high the turnover actually was. During the short time he worked there, he constantly saw people being hired and then leaving or being let go. It felt like people were coming in and out every single week.
The job requires you to spend your days outside, working in assigned areas and going door to door trying to find clients. My boyfriend spent a month and a half working under the California sun, putting in the hours and ultimately making very little money. Getting clients is extremely difficult, and the pressure to produce results is intense.
The compensation structure was also a major issue. We understood that there was a $160-per-day base payment in addition to commissions. We were relying on that income to cover basic expenses, including our rent. However, during the final two weeks of his employment, the company decided that they were not going to pay him for those working days as we had understood they would. Instead, he was paid only the commissions he had earned.
Those commissions totaled approximately $360 for two weeks of work.
$360 for two weeks of full-time work was nowhere near enough to cover our basic living expenses.
And this is where this job went from being a disappointing experience to having a very real impact on our lives.
We moved from Miami to Los Angeles because of this job. We made a major life decision based on the opportunity we were presented. We also know that there are people who have relocated from places like Boston to Los Angeles for this same opportunity.
In our case, the financial consequences were devastating. We ended up without enough money to maintain our housing and literally found ourselves in a situation where we had to leave Los Angeles and return to Miami with almost nothing.
Right now, I am literally driving back to Miami with my boyfriend, with our belongings packed into our car, because of what this job ultimately left us with.
That is not something I am sharing for sympathy. I am sharing it because people need to understand that accepting a job is sometimes a major life decision. People relocate, sign leases, spend money, and reorganize their entire lives because they believe what they are being promised during the hiring process.
I also looked through the company’s Google reviews before writing this, and honestly, they do not reflect the experience my boyfriend had. Based on the reviews, this sounds like an incredible opportunity. His experience was completely different.
I cannot speak for everyone who has worked here, and I am not claiming that everyone will have the same experience. I am sharing what happened to us.
Before relocating or making any major financial decision based on this job, ask very specific questions about the compensation structure, what you are guaranteed to make, how commissions work, how many people actually stay with the company, and what happens if you do not meet their targets immediately.
Because for us, this was not simply a job that didn’t work out.
It cost us a move from Miami to Los Angeles, months of expenses, our housing, and a significant amount of money.
I hope sharing this experience helps someone understand exactly what they may be getting themselves into before making the same decision we did.
