JJB Consulting scam, withholding pay, lies, empty promises, Internet

I was an employee in the Cleveland area. When interviewed by Alex Talerico, he gave me two options:

1) straight commission, 2) base + 25% of commission. ' Base ' means pay separate from sales, as most of us know. It takes time to learn how to sell something, and hours of time and gallons of gasoline are part of that learning curve. So, some kind of base pay for these costs is very reasonable.

When I stated that I would take the second option, and why I needed it, it was stated very clearly and clearly understood. Mr. Talerico is an intelligent man. He didn't have to hire me, but clearly did with this understanding.

But when pay day for that first week arrived, he told me there would be no pay because there weren't enough sales to warrant ' base pay '.

In short, I was lied to by this employer. While I promptly quit, I am out two weeks of hard work, gallons of gas, study time, training and more. I'm now pursuing legal recourse on this.

I am telling everyone I know and come across to avoid this company and their deceptive practices.
