Choice Promotional Group ripoff Pyramid Scheme Very misleading total scam King Of Prissia Pennsylvania

First off, the "report" against Choice Promotional Group is nothing more than some bitter person's emotional rant. I graduated Seton Hall and moved down to Philadelphia and started in the Mortgage industry and when that tanked, I went into financial sales. About 9 months ago, our company was bought out (think Bear Stearns only way smaller scale) and I was again looking for something new. I interviewed with Josh Woodford and he showed me some sports certificates and golf certificates that his company created and sold. I love sports. I love golf. I love people, so sales and marketing seemed like a new career I could at least pursue. Obviously, I was tired of going into industries that were fly by night like real estate, mortgages, and financial sales, so when I got the call to come back to Choice on a 2nd round interview, I was excited.

First thing I did was try and get some info on the company, and sure enough this posting came up. Needless to say, I was very nervous about the 2nd interview with the company. I watch a lot of Big Idea with Donny Deutsch though, and a lot of people that built million dollar businesses were laughed at in the beginning, so I figured "let me see this place with my own eyes." THANK GOD I DID!!

The second interview allowed me to go see a full day of sales calls and let me meet all the people I would be working with. How many comapnies do this??? Bear Stearns, Countrywide Financial, Aflac...I have interviewed at all of them and NOT ONE of them showed me the real job that I'd be performing. I was able to see the good AND bad on the interview, but at least they shot it to me straight at Choice.

Like I said, I LOVE spoorts, golf, etc...so getting to talk about it all day and getting to interact all day without cubicles was something I always wanted, so at night when I came back and they offered me a chance to start I said, "let's go". From the very beginning, I knew I was getting paid commision on sales, I knew EVERYTHING, because they showed it to me.

Anyways, I am now a manager there and am making over $1300 a week and have been here for only 6 months. I have seen people come in here and blame their failures on everything from the clients to Josh to the business model in general, but not once have I seen on this "rip off report" that a person owns up to the fact that they just didn't work hard and that's why they failed.

The backup quarterback always complains to anyone that will listen that he's better than the starter. Terrell Owens blames Donavon for the WHOLE TEAM'S FAILURE....Come on !!!! If you go an interview with Choice you get to see how EVERYTHING works....Ask a Bear Stearns employee if that was true for them too. Ask anyone in my former industries (finance, insurance, real estate) if management was honest with us !! This is the first place I have ever been where everything is completely out in the open. The complaints on this report are completely opinionated from a small minority of disgruntled people that like to blame everyone else for why they aren't successful. In fact, the person that posted first didn't even work there, they just interviewed there.

In summary, I'd rather work with a company that takes me out for 8 hours and shows me the good and bad and then lets me and HELPS me move up with no seniority than ever go back and work with the companies that really ARE shady (finance, real estate, mortgages, insurance, any huge company that has it's own best interest in mind). Does Josh make money when I do well? Absolutely! Does that make it a "pyramid scheme? I ask you this question....When a car salesman sells a car, does the car dealership owner make money too? Does that mean the local Nissan dealership is a pyramid scheme too?

I urge everyone that reads this to make your own opinion....remember we are all here because Columbus didn't listen to the "experts" when they said he'd fall off the Earth's surface. I have never been happier at a job and I have never seen the advancement and brutal honesty that I've received here. Do I work a lot ? Yes. Is it paying off with money and career growth? Yes. And that's all you can ask for these days, where most people get screwed day in and day out by these big companies that don't give a darn about employee #4275....

Do not get involved with this company. I personally know Josh, and though he is not a bad guy, this kind of work should be illegal as it will put you in debt faster than you can imagine. 3W Marketing and Choice Promotions = Very Bad Decisions.

The author of this report is SO right. CPG is a total sham, they prey off of young grads who do not know any better and sucker them into their pyrimad scheme. This company and all other DS Max Companies like it should be reported and prosecuted for their unethical recruiting tactics and downright dishonesty.
