Big Game Promotions not paid, scam artists, fake company san diego, California

Big Game Promotions works with high schools across the US to help raise money for equipment, travel expenses and much more through our Big Game Sports Schedule Posters and Media Guides.  We have raised millions of dollars for high school sports over the last 2.5 years, providing much needed funding, and in some cases even saving programs that could not afford to remain active.   We are one of the fastest growing advertising and sports fundraising firms in the country, and are contracted with over 200 high schools, Little League and Pop Warner teams across the United States, operating
in more than 300 cities.  Big Game Promotions is bonded and registered with the Department of Law in multiple
states as a commercial fundraiser.   We staff more than 35 representatives and compensate all of our employees and contractors appropriately.  We have been operating since February 2010 and are fortunate to have many of the same employees who helped start our great company. 

The accusations made in this rip off report posting are false and defamatory.

We are blessed to have great people, great teams and great business that are committed to helping youth sports.

Please feel free to contact our office between the hours of 8am-5pm M-F to speak with a live representative: 866-351-0005 for additional information.

I am the General Manager of Big Game Promotions. Nearly all the statements that this "ex-employee" has written are either distorted or completely untrue. My assumption is this was written by a competitor to try to discredit us, or by a disgruntled employee that was terminated do to poor performance (We have never employed a DANA).

Regardless, we will present our side to many of the statements.

"this "corporate headquarters" is an overly crowded room stuffed with desks with phones on them"--Partially true. We are a small office and it can feel overcrowded at times. Just like any small business, we don't have a massive office. But every company has to start somewhere. :)  We also DO have both AC and heat.

"I worked for them for 4 weeks and NEVER got a paycheck"--As a LICENSED commercial fundraiser in both California and Oregon, we are required to follow all labor laws, both Federal  and State. We would never risk losing the company over a couple thousand dollar paycheck.

"There was no clear "boss" to report to"--The corporate structure here includes a "Closer" who acts as a team leader, a Sales Manager, a General Manager, and our CEO/Owner. There a strict procedures to follow up the chain of command for complaints and issues.

"The people they hired came to work wearing what ever they wanted"--MOSTLY true statement. We want our employees to feel comfortable at work. Flip flops and PJs=OK. Bikini Tops and "gang" shirts a definitely not allowed.

"I was offered drugs MULTIPLE times"--We have a Zero-Tolerance Policy for drugs and alcohol at the workplace...Just like 99% of all companies.

"They give us index cards with schools names, their team names, the coaches names in the upper corner"--True. We use both paper leads about the size of an index card as well as computerized dialers and leads.

"I call him(Coach) up and I ask if he knows this company and he says no"--Every school we work with has signed a contract with us to produce their specified product. We actually have an entire department that focuses on signing and maintaining them. We have direct permission from each school to use their name, logo, pictures, etc. We also have commitments to these programs to produce hundreds(sometimes thousands) of copies of their products. It is in our best interest to keep all schools and sponsors happy so the next time we produce a product, they will once again choose to sign up and sponsor again.

"I posted on craiglist asking if any one else had been employed there and never recieved a check, I got over 100 responses from people that worked 1-5 weeks and never saw a dime."--That statement is an absolute lie. We have NEVER had an employee that was not paid for their time. Feel free to inquire with the IRS about us. We currently have 20 full-time employees(half have been here over a year). They enjoy what they do and feel good making a difference in these kids lives.

I hope that anyone reading this would use their judgment when deciding to business with us and/or any other company. Please feel free to do contact us for references, licenses, and more information on any statements above.
