Review content:
I worked here for 2 months. They promised me when I was hired that I wouldn't have to go door-to-door for demonstrations if I didn't want to, which of course I didn't. They were supposed to call & arrange appointments, so you knew the person was interested. They did that for the first 3 days, all of which were not interested at all, they just wanted their filthy houses cleaned for free, despite that we had to wear nice clothes. Afterwards, I had to stand there & burn my cell phone minutes, while the manager pressured the customer into buying it. They never compensated for cell minutes, or gas, or time traveled. I had to drive as far as Randolph, or to dangerous neighborhoods like Downtown Providence, where my car almost got stolen. If they don't buy, you don't make a dime. If they do buy, which is rarer than they lead on, the customer still has 3 days to cancel, which they often do. Your commissions are terrible, especially when they have to lower the price so much to convince the person to buy. Once they couldn't find appointments for me, I had to go door-to-door, which was horrible. I worked over 30 hours a week, & never made over $100, which I ended up spending more on gas. They like to say that it's your fault for not being a better salesperson, but selling a $3,000 machine to someone you just met is insane for anyone. I joined a van crew to save gas, which was just as bad. The driver would drop me off at the front of a street (even in the rain), & I had to walk the unfamiliar neighborhood, knocking on doors, to be picked up whenever they swung by again. The cops stopped us twice in one week. After the 2 months, I ended up with less money than when I started there, & in debt to my boyfriend. Please, do not make the same mistake I did.
