Unsafe work environments, full commission, mandatory UNPAID meetings.
On my first day there was a mandatory meeting when i arrived at work by 9:00a.m. Employees must participate even though they are not getting paid to be there. By the time 10:00am came, everyone had to pack up what they needed for the day(phones) and went outside to get leads for the company.
When my trainee and i went to a location(outside of a supermarket) our jobs were to try to speak to everyone who walks by about the free cellphones from the government. Most people were rude, violent, and disrespectful. The environment was SUPER UNSAFE: we worked outside a supermarket where the manager then asked me and my co- worker to leave because we were harassing their shoppers. To them, we looked like con artists. This was not professional at all on amf global's end. However, I was NOT getting paid for time and travel, only commission. I then had to pay money to go to another location in front of another super market: this place was not walking distance, i used a cab to take me there, oh and again, that was not paid for by the company i worked for.
To make a long story short: it was a TERRIBLE experience and i only got paid for the amount of ppl who actually opened a account for the phone with me. Then, your first pay check doesn't come until 3 weeks after you've worked. So, to wrap it all up i worked from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and only made about 27$ because you only get 7 dollars for each person who signs up and get a phone.
10hrs of work and 27$? This should be illegal because that was basically lower than minimum wage. It was a PURE Scheme and the company is all about getting their name out there. The Don't care about the wonderful people that works for them and does all of the ground work. I was fast talked in the interview and first day of work. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worse enemy. Luckily for me i found a way better job when i left. I also never received my first pay, and the job tried not to give it to me because i quit.
