Citywide Marketing Concepts "Marketing Company" Scam College Point New York

Citywide Marketing uses fraudulent hiring practices advertising substantial base pay and positions that don't exist, teaches deceptive sales tactics, cheats employees, and encourages soliciting from sales employees. All of their posts on job search websites advertised multiple positions from sales to managerial training to account managers, as well as salary. Only after the entire interview process and being hired I was informed that none of this was true.
I was hired as a "Distributor", not the account manager position I had applied for. When I inquired about the base pay I was informed that this was a commission only position. I confronted the manager about his fraudulent job listing and he agreed to pay me $500/week base salary. After receiving two checks short $100 each and hearing about other instances of short paychecks from other employees I left the company. Upon receiving my final paycheck I found that not only did it not include the $200 missing from my previous checks, but was short another $250. After inquiring about the missing money the manager denied ever making any agreement to pay me more than minimum wage.

I confirm that some people from citywide marketing do inform you that you will receive a $500 base salary, but as soon as you receive your check it turns out 2 be false and you only receive commissions.

I worked for the same Citywide office as Patrick, during the first week in October. I was employed for one business week before being "let go" on that Friday because another employee I'd never even worked with had supposedly made a complaint about me. It has been one month now and I'm still having trouble getting them to even give me my paycheck for those days, even though it isn't much it would still be nice to be paid for my efforts there.
