Life Alert Beware of working here Nationwide

This is a report on working for Life Alert as an employee in SALES, NOT on what the company does to protect seniors, which is not the issue here... No complaints on that, they do what they say and they keep seniors safe and protected. Here's the complaint:

 

The company advertises that you will make 50-130k a year. This is misleading and bordering on false advertising because they give only a few salespeople the best qualified leads and screw the new hires. 

They're distribution of leads is based on crony nepotism not on your performance. Most of the reps receive a majority of grossly unqualified leads and old recycled leads of seniors who have declined service many times over.  They also  purposely transfer the customer service calls to the salespeople  and count them as leads, their biggest screw you of all .  Before you take a job in sales with Life Alert, read the negative sales reviews about Life Alert on the glass-door job website.

 

They're all true. The reps I talked to were making closer to $500 a week and complained that they're often shorted on their paychecks and gouged for any reason the company can find to cheat their employees out of their full commission . If you don't want to be treated like a rented mule, look elsewhere. I was hired with several others and each quit in under a month. The company runs permanent job listings on Craigslist and hires continuously, which should have been a red flag. Worst experience of my sales career!  Life Alert should be investigated by the labor board for their deceitful recruitment practices.
