Trumaker is a TRUE Pyramid Scheme - Anonymous employee Trumaker Employee Review

You'll be overworked & severely underpaid for 19.00/ hour you'll have a better chance working at Forever21 making more money for the amount of hours they beg of you. I worked from 8 AM to 9:30 PM! The company will schedule appointments for you on the weekends and holidays. In the first week they force you to harass your friends and family members to buy something! You will absolutely not make money at this job. If you've never had a sales job, it's important to understand that an entry level sales job starts at minimum 50K base, plus commissions and also bonuses monthly if not weekly. This company does not give you commissions at all. You have to sell the company 25K of clothing just to get an unfair bonus. If you've worked for the company 3-5 years ago you'll make more but even still they don't pay outfitters for their car, phone, mileage, networking events, overtime, etc. They'll encourage you to be very hands on with all your male clients which is pretty frightening. Every day your head will be on the chopping block. They threaten your job after only two weeks of working for them. Your sales manager will call you multiple times a day and force you to go through weekly meetings to let you know if you're "on termination or probation status." It's incredibly abusive & toxic. The sales cycle is insane. As an outfitter you are responsible for finding all your own leads by tapping into your personal network including your Dad, ex boyfriends, etc. Then after only 3 days of training you MUST sell that first week! You are asked to beg your new clients on the FIRST appointment for 10 new leads or contacts. This is what makes it a true pyramid scheme. It's the same model as Cutco-the knife company. The company has no clue how to qualify customers. They'll beg you to sell to poor, college kids and even your broke boyfriend. They abuse their clientele by over charging for the quality of their clothing & neglecting them after they ordered. After you sell the clothes the company asks you to personally steam & HAND deliver each article of clothing, EVEN if your customer lives 1-2 hours away. They won't reimburse you for gas or parking. The company will force you to work with uncomfortable men. There are absolutely no benefits either! They're excuse is that they're a startup BUT they'll force you to offer customers free shipping which comes straight out of your paycheck! It's a very manipulative company & it's frightening. You'll have to make up for all the other outfitters who either got fired or quit, which will leave you feeling so stressed and anxious. They just don't care about their employees.
