Launch Local Axiom Advertising Launch Local is a scam!!! LIERS!!!! Girard, Ohio

 I agree. Lady on phone named patty lied to me when I asked repeatedly if this was a salaried position in PR and she said yes. You shouldn't lie just to get people in the door. Someone needs to sell her for 40cents on the dollar.

My version of the job.  

Had a brief first day interview, the boss, a somewhat attractive older woman, was kind of odd but I figured I would try the job.

The next day you arrive, it is a full day of observing a contractor, who is attempting to make business to business sales (to the employees of the business).  He made a decent amount of sales so I figured I`d try the job.

Typical day:

7am show up for a brainwashing type session (which I hated), where you are motivated (even though you are supposed to be self motivated) and you practice your sales pitch over and over (actually did find this to be useful, could really be done in the field IMO).

around 830 go to your territory for your promotion, stay until usually around 5 pm (depending on your cutoff time for the day)

get back to office 530-6ish where you break your day down (+s,-s) and are paid.

Cons:  1.  they expect you to work "optional" Saturdays (which I didnt even find out they were open Saturday until after I agreed to be a contractor, I never did though)

           2.  skipping lunch is somewhat encouraged (although I never did and most people didnt)

           3.  sent into hard sell areas quite often (i.e. pushing an upscale restaurant in a poor area)

           4.  cult like atmosphere in the office (this bothered me the most, didnt like when anything was questioned)

           5.  actual days where you may lose money because of travel gas etc b/c you didnt sell enough to cover the expenses (really didnt bother me that much)

           6.  normally had to work with someone else (sometimes felt like you were being watched)

           7.  "policies" seemed to clashed with one another quite often or were in general flawed (i.e. think every consumer is equally likely to buy the promotion without regards to anything else)

           8.  9-5 work is degraded (even though most of the people there wouldnt get hired at a normal job)

Pros:  1.  day went super fast

          2.  paid every day in cash

          3.  quick opportunities for advancement

          4. easy "sell" meaning the product was a great deal if a customer had a use for it

          5.  other contractors were pretty helpful

 This is a long day, and the possibility of making over 120 dollars or so is pretty slim.  I would say only take this job if you are willing to go "allin", its not a scam, you actually do learn a lot, and they are fairly leinent with leaving early and things like that.  Ultimately, I didnt think it was enough money to justify all the travel and long hours.

I can back up what the original reports claims. Also look up Axiom Advertising for a similar report. Appearently there business practives caught up to them and  a name change was necessary. I suppose it is important to note that for the most part the actual products that they offer are legitimate coupons for things(at least to my knowledge of the last time I dealt with them). The scam is on the employment side. Their employees are treated terribly. In fact I saw the owner at walmart purchasing a tv as an incentive for " the idiots" to sell. Not enough for you? Well her plan was to keep the new tv and swap a older one in the new box.
