Started the job as a customer rep (entry level). During training week, was told that whomever calls in first with set "appointments" money would be given. Was the top caller, should've received $175 bonus. Ran the appointments, or close to the amount, being Easter weekend, never was paid for the "traning period"
Before I was hired, they knew I was still in college, said it'll be fine because it was only 3-4 weeks left (depending if you count finals week). They said they'll work around it, getting me appointments needed to get paid, and/or pay for what I ran. For 3 weeks, never was paid. Should've got paid from approx. 300-550 dollars for all three weeks, never was.
Was told that beyond a 30 mile radius, you would be reimbursed gas and/or food. Drove 400 miles on Friday and Saturday . Instead, was told to file it on taxes next year (ha I like to get paid a year later!! when the gas money is needed now)
Out of 3 weeks, and a close % of 40, I've only made $20. Was told that every demo you ran, you get money for it, hence the reason on doing numbers at the end of the demo.
Money for running shows were never paid, driving beyond the "determined" radius was never paid, and food was never paid. Nor are all the "work shops" which take up your demo runs and hr long meetings in the morning.

Stand-up appointments
AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)

A lot of my referrals which I turned into the office, have contacted me personally (being that I know them on a personal basis) and stated that no one has shown up. Odd isn't it?? Pinnacle System gets paid for "appointments set" and bonus' for "appointments ran".
Is it unfair for the customer, whom is given a date and time for an associate to come out and demo, yet no one shows??
Now you can blame it on the associate whom gave the referrals, but they never know when the office sets the appointments. No body knows. They just set them, without telling the "demoers'" the schedules. Plus you have a distributor whom is more worried about appointments beyond their "required radius of travel" because those cost "a lot" of money to set. Haha right.
A scrach off card and a cheap free gift, expensive??
Sad part is, it isn't just this company. Every "office" all over the U.S., Canada, and 43 countries have these offices. They all follow the policies. It is a scam, they only care if you have "money" not for the quality,quantity, and effortness.
They only get paid for 'setting schedules' and bonuses' for running them and even more bonuses' for selling you the product which is, in my opinion, over priced. Get them off ebay. The only difference is you don't get the warranty in "your name". Yet the warranty on the engine is 5yrs (so you know it is guaranteed 5 years). You still have to pay for filters, cones, and filters (i.e. defender filters and majestic cones).
