Do not believe the Recruiter/ If you have been lied to like me, report it to the Attorney General in both your state and the company's state, and the BBB and I assure you they will eventually stop lying to Recruit people

This is a 1099 job - I worked there 2+ months and made $35.00, never got the proper field training they promised because of lack of qualified trainer - the DM Ronnie Cooper is a poor trainer and doesn't have sufficient technical skills to train

Training takes more than 1 week per Recruiter - it takes many months. They start you out with 1 script to memorize and lead you to think that when you finish with that after brief field training, you'll be ready. Not true there are many scripts to memorize, one for each product, referrals, rebuttals, new business, set up and more

It takes way more than 8-12 hours to memorize the CN (Cancer) Script

There are no territories, I was hired to work Dayton, OH and the DM from Columbus (Ronnie Cooper) and his Reps were working this territory. The DM has no incentive to train you, because him and his staff are working your city (territory) and he controls the distribution of accounts, so I figured all I was going to get was crumbs, non-producing accounts. This situation is what makes it a pyramid scheme in my opinion, and why the only way I was going to make the $80k target amount the Recruiter told me, is to bring in a significant amount of new accounts on my own, probably way more than the 1 new account they recommended per month.

Everything the Recruiter told me, the DM (Ronnie Cooper) and state manager (Michael Zoch) claimed it wasn't true. Between the Recruiter and Managers, you don't know who is lying most. They hire Reps knowingly telling multiple lies.

I had great management, IT and Recruiting Credentials, along with certifications; so I was well qualified for the position of Territory Manager, which is what I interviewed for, but after getting the job, the State Manager would not consider me for the postion until I trained and brought in new accounts, and he told me it had taken him 2 years to get promoted. He did not have the credentials I had, which is why it took him 2 years, but I was hired with all the credentials I needed; he couldn't understand that. Plus, the DM (Ronnie Cooper) was an unqualified trainer and didn't even know MS office (who gets a mangement job not knowing MS office?), but he did. Also, per the job description, no experience was even necessary. Bottom line, the Recruiter had run a game on me, by interviewing me for Territory Manager. Despite my credentials, it wasn't going to happen. They continued to advertise for Territory Mgr after I was hired, and still have that job order on Career Builder. They will lure you in with promises of Territory Mgr just like they did me, so don't believe them.

The Recruiter tells you there are leads and territories...not true. Again, the Columbus DM and Reps were working my territory (Dayton, OH), and the Columbus DM controls/distributes the accounts. He's trying to make money for himself, so what do you think is going to be left over for you? The state manager (michael zoch) asked me to memorize the new business script, which would have taken months, and bring in new accounts. That's because the managers, State Mgr and DM, are working your territories accounts. Again, it's a pyramid scheme.

The managers are selfish and try to make money off you every way they can. They work your territory. The Recruiter told me andy sales generated during training are mine, not true...the managers take 50% of that.

These managers drove low budget cars, that's the ten ton hint, they aren't rolling in dough and are going to try to make income off of you. That's why I couldn't get them to train me. The state manager was supposed to train me, but kept postponing to make money for himself. They don't care that you're 1099 and not making a dime.

I tried to report these managers to the corporate office, you won't have access to the CEO or Regional Mgr, just the state manager and VP of PMAUSA, and in my opinion, both of them are well aware of the lies the Recruiter are telling you from the beginning. As I said, the state manager knows the Recruiter is lying, and once you're hired he/she will refute everything the Recruiter told you. The company ran a game on me with all those lies.

The Recruiter told me I'd work Mon-Thurs, and have Fridays off. The DM and state manager claimed that's not true. Again, the company is well aware that the Recruiter is saying these things in order to lure you in.
