SMS-NA LLC  Deceptive Hiring Practices Buffalo Grove, Illinois

An alleged Senior Hiring Agent interviewed me for an alleged "Senior Area Manager"[SAM] for an employment position to sell business consulting services for a Texas territory.This company is a re-invention of a IPA, a business that the IL AG's office filed suit against in 2009 for ensnaring small businesses to "invest" money to "improve operations" fraudulently.   The promises that I could make $100K up to $200K per year were attractive.However, the interviewer told me that SMS made $100M in 2010 with 1000 employees.With labor cost at 50% and 10% as a net profit, that leaves 40% or $40,000 as the average income per employee, a far cry from what was being promised in the interview plus I would pay for all my gas, auto insurance, cell phone, and other costs.The strategy is for the SAM to follow an SMS lead and set up an "appointment".Then, an SMS "analyst" will quantify a benefit value in dollars for the business and sell the owner on the idea of spending the money with SMS to get a return that is far greater than what the business owner spends.The SAM get's an alledged commission of 91% of that first fee, if any is ever collected.   The fact is the SAM is merely an "appointment setter" not a salesperson.SMS uses this title to avoid a potential issue of having to pay overtime for all hours worked over 40 per week.The SAM only gets paid when the fees are collected.   The agent to whom I spoke told me that SMS was a "re-structuring" not IPA.....although it has the same address. You good job seekers should think twice before getting in bed with this company. My advice to business owners is call your local CPA and the IL AG office, then make your decision.

AUTHOR: Legit employee - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, February 25, 2014

  SMS is a performanced based company. Which in sales terms means you have to produce. So when they say the potential to make a 100 grand a yr! Thing is in sales not everyone is created equal,if that's what you want them mcdonalds should work good for you. I have been here for four years. Last year I made 115k. I did this by busting my butt. I'm also very good on the phone. Everyone gets a base salary which is minimum wage,as it should be. If you don't produce you should not get what I make. How would everyone making the same amount incentivize anyone. It wouldn't!!! Before you go saying dumb things you should just realize that you are not a salesman. Don't pout that your not given 100 grand a yr as a base salary. For those people who are motivated and can sell then SMS is a great place to work. People say the dumbest things without any fact behind it. Now for our clients. I personally know that we help people. Ive talked to so many people that we've helped. We change lives and turn companies around. Any companions are either because people don't know what we do and just got a call and for whatever think it's a scam and instantly put that online. Or someone agreed to a project and stopped it short. It's like going to the gym ,hiring on a personal trainer And never going back and getting mad because they didn't lose weight. This takes work on the owners part. It also takes dedication. So please stop listening to these people that know nothing of what we do. We are a great company and I'm proud to work here. My name is Marc Schaumburg il I work in inside sales.
