George S. May International ripoff Abuse of employee status Park Ridge Illinois

Their advertising claims are a total joke - "$70,000+ potential?" What a joke.

Maybe MAYBE you can make that if you are located in a large enough city that enough customers haven't experienced the company's high pressure and abusive tactics. If you're unlucky enough to be in a more rural area with small cities, you're doomed from the start - the business owners have heard of the company and how May works.

Within my two month tenure, I came in contact with at least a dozen unsatisfied former clients of May International whose attempts at getting satisfaction had been ignored. In two instances, these people wanted blood because of the abuse they suffered at the hands of May.

The next thing that got my goat with this company was my lack of pay! My first commissions were weeks late in reaching me, then mysteriously my expense reimbursements AND commissions got lost in their system. At this point, when I demanded my money, I received the same sort of abuse and threats that prior customers had received when I requested what I had coming due.

The telephone support they promise in their advertising was WORSE than having none at all! I expended enormous time and dollars chasing after clients that had allegedly set appointments to see me - only to arrive to find that they had 1) not agreed to the appointment or 2) were below May's standards and not viable clients. In one day alone I drove 400 miles to make these appointments - the total May allots for their Special Representatives for an entire week at their measly 28 cents per mile.
