Distinctive Solutions Inc. EFG Marketing Solutions Inc. Beware of this company it's a scam! Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania

He wasn't kidding though; there were only 3 offices and pretty much no furniture. It did not seem like an office at all but more so a closet where the janitor/maintence people would keep their equipment and trash.

Mr. Papalexandratos spoke very fast and just kept going on about how much money I would make if I worked for them. He also kept saying that working for them is such a great experience and how all the workers get along and have so much fun. I asked him if this was door to door sales and he said that they do have that, but the position I applied for would involve going to big businesses so I didnt haveto worry. 

I got the call back within the hour saying they liked and wanted to bring me in for round 2. They told me to come in the next morning at10, where I would shadow one of their executive accountants for the day. I was actually excited I would get to see what she does. No office, no fancy car, she was basically a door to door salesperson.

I really didn't need to follow her around all day and watch business people yell at her to leave and see her pressure people into buying their product. She took me out for lunch and she told me how much she made and that she really liked her job.

I wanted to know more and so I stayed and talked with her and a recruiter (my 3rd interview) and we talked about the job I was applying for. They said it was an entry level accountant position and that I would get paid training for 5 days and then make guaranteed $400-$600 a week when I started. They also told me that if you do a good job and they like your work effort you can promoted within 2-4 weeks.

I came in early and I was very excited, however, I was pretty shocked to see the waiting room crowded with people that were interviewing and taking drug tests. I thought to myself, how many positions do they have to offer? So she handed me the wrong paperwork and then I had to wait until she printed out my offer.

Wait a minute, I thought, print out my offer? A red flag went up in my mind. I waited and then she handed me the paperwork and I wassent in the back office to fill it out.

I was looking at the offer and first of all it was from 2009 and for another company, real professional. 5 days paid training like they told me, but it doesn't say anything about a salary after that or anything. Also, their health insurance plan only offered 50 dollars a month reimbursement for health insurance, you were on your own beyond that. 

So before I even signed anything I said I wanted to speak with George Papalexandratos. She told me to wait so I waited and waited. It was almost 2 hours before I got to speak with him. It was like I never even existed.

So then when I finally got to meet with him, the first thing he said is that this is different paperwork. Really? I'm not a dummy. He then says that it would only be 2 days paid training to start.

Then he says all smugly we give you 50 dollars reimbursement for your healthcare every month! Big deal, the average cost of heath-care plans for people is a lot more than that if you want good coverage! 

So then did I dare ask what the salary is? Well I did and guess what he had to say about that. He told me my employees would rather be paid commission than receive a salary and then he proceeds to tell me how much everyone made last week. One made over a 1,000 and some others made even more.

After all of this, I asked for a copy of the papers for the job offer, but he told me that their copy machine was broken, despite the fact that they could have just printed out another copy.

After all of this, I did the math.  The person I shadowed visited about 30 businesses in one day.  Mr. Papalexandratos told me that the company had 150 employees (which I doubt is even true).  Lets just assume that it has 100 employees who visit 20 businesses per day.  Thats 2000 businesses total per day, or 10,000 businesses per week.  Each employee was selling the same product, so it doesnt take a genius to figure out that it probably wouldnt take long to run out of businesses.  I can only assume that at this point, the typical employee realizes what has happened, quits, and then the company hires a whole new batch of employees.
