Window & Siding Planet- Streamwood - Anonymous employee Bath Planet Employee Review

I had posted this review 2 weeks ago. I was contacted and asked to remove the review. I had accepted the apology initially, but as I examine the situation and my current position, I do not feel it is moral for me to let someone else fall into the situation that I did. I was initially hired on as a "marketing manager in training" I was explained to that I would be working a few shifts as a product demonstrator (the position I would be managing) as long as some time working on campaigns. I was informed I would be making 18 an hour, full time, and that I would move to salary shortly. I had a job at the time I was very successful at with a salary of 43,000. I made it clear that I was only looking to move to a position with a salary of 50,000. I was told that would not be an issue. I inquired about weekends, because my girlfriend and I are only able to see each other on the weekends. I was told I would work a few, but not every weekend. Fast forward to starting the job, I was sent to Dupage County Fair on my first day. I had no instruction other than an address. I ended up needing to pay to get in, and never had any training. Overall I worked the entire week there, with a total of 10 mins of training. The training was a person telling me to get people to sign up for a raffle. They would then use this information from the raffle as contact information for lead generation. I received no information on when where or how this raffle was draw. Throughout my employment, I was informed that when I wasn't getting a lot of contacts, to ditch pitching windows and siding, and just to get contact info for the raffle. "It's a numbers game, we need more people to call." Through my time there, I was just scheduled at Yorktown Mall, trying to gather leads. I was no moving to marketing Manager and everyone I spoke to that was a co-worker informed me I had been mislead, apparently this is a common trend for those hired. I spent a total of 20 minutes, and that was only to fill out employee paperwork that was done 2 weeks late. I would every weekend, which I had attempted to clarify in the interview. At the end of my employment, my hours were being cut because of company productivity. At this point I had finally accepted the fact that I was tricked and I must get out of the situation. I am 27 with a bachelors degree and had a successful job, until I was tricked into a position where I was collecting names and addresses in a mall. I had posted this and taken it down after request from the company, but looking at my current situation, this job was a major set back to my life. Jeopardizing my professional career and personal life that I have worked hard to achieve. While I may not be able to repair things in my situation, I would like others to avoid making the same mistakes. To future applicants, don't repeat my mistakes, get everything in your job description in writing.
