Premier Promotions review: false promises 46

Well Big and tough bring it when ever you're ready. I shut ### like you down. im in Richmond Va and on facebook. when and where

Wow...Sounds real aggressive, racist, and hostile to work here. I'll tell you one thing after reading these messages, I would punch this Emory jerk right in the face as hard as I could the second I saw him. Shut his fat mouth for him.
Then I'd step on him, and wipe my dirty shoes on him on my way out.

All You people saying you make 350 a week, I make more than that just waiting tables on the weekends!

I worked for this company when it first began in January 2008. The owner at the time was Francis "Frank" Quagliano, who moved here with his girlfriend Tess, and his dog. They also recruited to managers from Connecticut Peter, and Mike. I was quiet and I probably was one of the longest running employees there after a 3 month employment run. I met my quota so many times, but because I had to travel for school on Friday's and I made up my day on Saturday's, I wasn't able to move to the "next step" because I didn't put in a 6 day work week. I worked everyday from 8am until 7pm sometimes later. I was told that I also would be making no less than 300 a week. Yeah Most of my checks were 75 a week most I ever received was 250. While I was there I observed so many shady things. In the morning when we had to set up our bins for an event if were were short items in other bins, Frank would take "Donated" items and resell them. He wanted us to collect taxes on items that were sold 1 dollar for one item 2 dollars for 2 items purchased etc. Whenever the taxes were over for the amount of items sold (Which was always) he would pocket the difference. He would sometimes jump into the "training" session and lecture us on how sales need to be higher and that our careers would be better if we really learned how to take money out of people's pockets. There had been more than once when people stole each other sales etc. I was a believer at one point, but that quickly faded because I would observe many things that just didn't sound kosher. I would leave events early many times to go to other job interviews at the end, and because I realized I was actually scamming people out of their hard earned money. Our receipt books were stamped as "Premier Promotions: Professional Solicitors" When I applied for marketing & advertising jobs, I don't remember signing up to be a scam artist. I studied advertising in college, so I assumed I was being set up for success but in reality I was just scamming people out money.

It is so, so, so funny watching the girl who went to Baltimore brag about how much money she makes. She brags online and really, she is either flat out lying or she is stealing from people with this windshield scam in order to pay her bills. What a sick, twisted, pathetic [censor].

BUT WAIT THERES MORE, TESS LEFT FRANK [censor] [censor]...LOL OH AND HIS [censor] BOY PETE, LISTEN TO THIS FRANK GAVE HIM (I BELIEVE) ABOUT $20, 000 TO OPEN A NEW LOCATION IN PHILLY. HAHA HE DIDNT STOLE THE OTHER LITTLE [censor] BOY CONNOR'S CAR AND DIAPPEARED. TESS WENT BACK TO NEW YORK AND UM YEA FRANK IS LEAVING RICHMOND TO OPEN UP PHILLY HIM SELF. SOME ONE ELSE WENT TO MARYLAND. THIS IS ALL ONE BIG [censor] SOAP OPERA

Is Frank still in Richmond, or has he gone to Cockeyesville Maryland to open Shield Marketing Solutions with Suzanne Wright (Brannon)?

I worked for Frank for 2 whole weeks. I bought into the Atmosphere and the Attitude. I outsold everyone there in my first 2 weeks. We basically committed insurance fraud to fix chips in peoples windshields. I found out about Quantum and the whole scheme while I was there and I called them out on their [censor]. I was begged to stay because I was doing so well. I was promised to be an owner within 6 months. This is honestly the biggest brainwashing, law bending scam I've ever witnessed. When you get promoted to an owner or the upper levels you learn about the Atmosphere Room where you have to pump loud music and chant to keep anyone from "negging out" or voicing disapproval. They adopt slang like "JUICE" to make people feel like its a community. It's all to target the weak minded who are easily influenced and controlled. Needless to say my checks were short and Frank told me to [censor] off when I left. Anyone who is an owner and claims to be making any amount of money is just lying and waiting on the money someone above them promised to them when they started. Avoid at all costs. Visit any one of their "events" and heckle them until they leave.

so do they lie and collect food stamps and welfare while pretending to have a real job? Real winners, these people.

raceway gas station on rt 10 has those monkeys swinging around on the daily

Well, I have to say I was contacted by them this morning regarding a "position" in Richmond. After reading the comments from the "employees" that currently work there - I'm not sure I could handle a day of the grammatically incorrect speaking! It's bad enough that I have to read it - I couldn't imagine having to LISTEN to it!

I'll skip this opp as well.

I worked at Premier Promo for like 5 months. I was the high roller so many times I can't remember. I made quite a bit of money but I always felt bad about it because I was using D.A.R.E's name to improve my situation and it was really messed up. I think if Frank reads this he knows exactly who I am I'm sure because I made him lots of money. The smartest thing I did there is told him I was having relationship problems and took off work until I got my final check and then never talked to Frank, Pete, Tess or anyone else again. I saw Frank hold a guy named Jordan's paycheck just to do it becaue Jordan was leaving the Company. I saw Frank pull gifts out of donations that were suppose to go to Home Again Homeless Shelter and give them to his employees. He is by far the slimiest greeseball I have ever met and I really don't think I will ever come across such a person ever again. I really hope he gets everything that he deserves. As for anyone looking to work there I strongly suggest you make this your last possible option for employment becasue it really is the [censor] place I have ever worked for!

hahaha @eat me tess you are to funny but true that sounded just like tess. tess we did what we was suppose to do ur company just didnt [censor] permier promotions they suck cant wait til greg and steve take over richmond then you will see how a company is ran.@stina2519 there are plenty working there with degrees, and those people are doing well and gettting there own companies. dnt talk all that [censor] if you dnt know what you are talking about. i hate the job but still i have my masters and still took the opportunity to heart. its just the boss people that made it worth not being there. tess stop deleting peoples comments are you for real? u guys suck i be glad when the va better biz comes there to get job, ya'll hire everybody so keep ur eyes open

VoiceofReason - give us a dollar figure. If you are working 10/12 hour days out in the elements, be it selling items for "charity" or pretending to fix windshields, you better be making at least 70K, and you better have benefits. Since we all know that is NOT happening, for anyone - even the managers - then this job is a joke and should be treated as one.

GO TO BURGER KING - YOU WILL MAKE MORE $$ AND BE TREATED BETTER.

I agree that some people have had a bad experience with this company, they may be bitter and want to vent their frustration. The other side to that is there are many people working for the same Company and are doing quite well. It seems there have been many people promoted recently and are doing well enjoying the fruits of their 10/12 hour day labor. It seems to me that those that realize this to be an opportunity and not just a job prosper and move on inspite of the same conditions that others have presented as cruel and scammish. Next time listen and determine if you're looking for a job or trying to take advantage of an opportunity. Trust me there is a difference...

Thank you for posting this! After reading your post I cancelled my interview. I was worried about it being something I do not want to so I googled it and got this. This post saved me from wasting 3 hours tomorrow. Oh and for those people on here defending this place, I'm well educated with a Bachelor's degree, I owned a business for two years, and now I'm modeling. I'm looking for a full-time job just because the modeling is mostly on the weekends and in the evening but I'm still going to model on the side once I find the full-time job that is a fit for me. I'm not fat, lazy or anything else you called those people who were unhappy with their time at this place and I'm sure they aren't either. When you spend anywhere from $30, 000-90, 000+ on a college degree, the last place you want to be working is a place where you have to sell wax at a gas station or place place where you are getting paid minimum wage. Plus what you say you make in a week, I make in one modeling gig. This job might be the right place for you cause you can't get anything else but the people who do have college degrees and the job didn't work out for them can get a better job and yes times are tough write now but being unemployed is better than working at a place where you won't ever advance.

'I see the "owner" is deleting reviews. Please be advised that this company is a pyramid scheme scam company and their employees should never be trusted with your car. I have filed a complaint with this website to restore the deleted, TRUTHFUL accounts of bad experiences that the owner had deleted.'

So wait, this guy Frank and his crew are repairing windshields, selling auto wax, and doing some kind of shady fund raising for D.A.R.E. all at the same time? How does this work?

no you dnt get to keep the money, they give you no money for road trips. they give you the wax to sell for the hotel room, if you dnt sell any then you sleep in ur car. for food u have to spend ur own money. the girl in b moore is lying no one in the biz( if u dnt have ur own office) makes any money really on a averge check u may bring home about to something for them 76 hours u work. u can make more money at mcdonalds. its all lies. then they threatin u with ur job if u dnt do what they tell u to do. if u are tired u cant sit and [censor] like that. if you dnt make frank any money for that day, then u are fired. then i just wish someone from the va work force would go up there and work there for a week to see how sexually inappropiate frank is to his employees. he cusses them out call them nasty names, tell u to get the [censor] outta his office and everything..no the managers dnt keep the money, they do get paid off of everything that u do though.

So what happens when you guys go on "business trips" then? Who pays for it? And do the "managers" keep all the money from the people they oversee? BC that girl who works in Baltimore now sure does brag that she has a lot of money from this job. I assume she is just lying to deal with being broke and brainwashed.

oh and one last thing alot of people who worked thee that never got paid and francis aint pay you thats part of the money he used to open the new offices up

Ha Ha I'll tell you how he opens all these offices, (1) tax Frank charges crazy tax Va tax is 5% of the dollar but how is it a 10 dollar can of wax is 11 bucks? or some people in the office charges 16 a can. Really? okay And heres a wammy for all our soldiers okay they charge 2 cans of wax for 27 bucks when out at some gas station its two cans of wax and a pack of rags for 25 plus tax which is 26 bucks. or 27 depending how short the person you buying the wax from with earlier sales. Some employees charge two cans of wax for straight 26 bucks which at the end of it with no Micro fibers is really 21 bucks they pocket 5 bucks. Also you ALWAYS see FW1 at arab owned stores like shell, east coast, race way, fas mart & etc. No corporate Stations will allow them to stand in the way of GOOD customers. So if you see FW1 find a Corporate number and call them in I BET CORPORATE WILL CALL AND MAKE THEM LEAVE. trust me i know they lost raceway tappahanock, east parham shell, and texaco peterburg. GOOD LUCK FRANCIS QUAGLIANO. Oh PS check his business licences next time. (2) Chipio, if chipio really knew who these guys are hiring, Wow that whole place would be shut down, and it a bruch of avon product in the back how many ways are you really trying to take money from people. (3) Oh heres a good one, now the can have different prices right. now say if i do sell the wax for the lowest price which is 10 bucks so now i sell a case for 120 right, plus tax which is .05% thats 126.00 lol here a funny part here thats 12 peices you sold at .30% commission which will be 36 bucks you mase. NOPE frank counts is as a (CASE) 10 pieces which will be 100 bucks and you get 30 bucks out of that and he pockets 21 bucks. Frank only pays a dollar to 3 buck per can he orders them by the pallet so we make 30% commission and he spent 3 so thats 6 bucks theres 4 more bucks left who know what he does with it because i seen thier bills not that much. so who ever needs or what this info use it i know im about to ask me for futher details

mad [censor] employee - are you saying that at first you commented positively about Premier Promotions on page 1 of this thread, and now you are admitting that they are liars and thieves? Please go into a LOT more detail. How does the operation continue to run? How is it that every once in a while some [censored] can go "open their own company" in a city like Baltimore? How can they keep their doors open at all if people are not making any money?

This company is FULL of scammers! They came to my job and told me i needed a new windshield, then said they would come fix/replace it during my lunch break. They NEVER showed, changed all the phone numbers written on the invoice and refused to return my calls when I asked when my car would be repaired. Whats worse is that even tho they did no work at all they still tried to get money from my insurance company, which they would have recieved if I hadnt called and had my adjuster try to call. She also called the business several times with no response. I have called the Better Business Bureau and would recomment everyone stay far far away.

You guys are on /link removed/ too in case you are interested.

Cecilia12 let me break it down for you, we come to work at 8 am get ready for our day then leave the office about 10 -11 am work until 5 - 6 pm and go back so for all you slow reading people that is 7 to 8 hours a day outside. the rest of the time we spend in the pffice is networking with our co workers learning new things. oh and why are you so worried about how much we get paid try it out, if you aint afriad to get your hands dirty and meet new people... Emory

None of you are actually answering the question as to how much you actually make a year, AFTER taxes. If it is less than 50K, and you are outside all day, 6 days a week, for 10-12 hours a day, then you are a complete idiot. Managers of fast food places start at 38K and work less and get insurance.

How dumb can you all possibly be?

you can reach me there as well, most everybody up here are unemployed, so stop talking [censor] if you dnt have a job, or if your four year degree just aint working for you. while you will be paying the gov. all of those student loans ill be puttin money in the bank. see we keep up with our on prodution, so i have never had a messed up check, but if you didnt then damn i feel sorry for you, cause that degree didnt give you sense enough to do something about it, you got scammed not me or em town, you damn dummy.

Okay Cecilia Listen we get paid every day and taxes are taken ou.t Until you see and go out and work this line of work keep your mouth shut. this is a DIRECT MARKETING group. Pretty much like a little concession stand in a mall. The thing is we get up in your face tell you and show you how our product works. If we sit it on a shelf in wal mart we wont sell that much no more then maybe 5, 000 cans nation wide. with us we are selling over 9 million cans a year with our 30+ offices nation wide. Bottem line for all you idiots talking trash, This company has help a lot of people get back on their feet. So the next time you want to talk bull [censor] about a persons job remember do you want them to help pay the taxes of this wonderful CON filled country and support thier family or at night time putting a gun in your face with your family with you or breaking into your house. I feel its showing people thats there still hope of finding jobs and feeding their family i know it does for me and my two daughters. so stoping judging others and look into the mirror and see whats wrong with your life... Have a problem You can reach me At premier promotions. Emory

Oh wow. This is so sad. Someone should mail this page to the office so that everyone who works there can see this and finally understand what a scam this sham of a company really is. I mean, look at the comments above; honestly, how brainwashed these people are is just SO SAD. I mean, how many missed paychecks will these people have to endure before they realize that they are working, and I use that term loosely, for con-artists? And EVERY one of these terrible people just cons the next person, over and over, one person after another, and just sinks further and further into the gutter. Well, they are trash - and trash belongs in the gutter, so...

Sad. Very, very sad.

keepinitreal, please tell us about Suzanne - the short fat girl - who opened her own office in Baltimore. inquiring minds want to know.

Wow...between the negative comments from the majority and poor grammar and unintelligble comments of current employees...I think I may skip this "opportunity".

Ha Ha Ha larry you must be a little dick driver dad who has no life your wife proberly ugly and cheating on you and your kids hate you, and um yea the little short fat girl owns her own office and you must be in PA because thats the only time we were ever in a Target parking lot, so you a northern [censor] with no life. thats okay . but any time you want to talk [censor] about some ones job look at your own first and see how much you're an [censor] to others or how others are [censor]s to you.

Even if you actually made $65, 000 a year, after taxes, paying out for your own insurance, and buying all of the gas you have to bc your "employer" doesn't reimburse you, you are making no more than an average 9-5er and you are working outside like a common gypsy selling garbage products in a Target parking lot 6 days a week for 12 hours a day.

FACE IT - YOU ARE ALL LOSER HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT CRIMINALS. THAT IS WHY YOU WORK THERE. YOU HAVE TO AND YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. KILL YOURSELVES AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

Why can't you folks working there spell correctly or use proper grammatical sentence structure?

$350 a week, if you work all 52 weeks in a year, leaves you with $18, 200 as an annual salary. That is before taxes. You don't get health insurance, and the "company" you work for doesn't pay for your gas or mileage. You are here, on an internet messageboard, claiming that your are PROUD of working 12 hour days for 6 days a week to make minimum wage. Can't you see how sad and pathetic you sound? You poor, uneducated, lonely and brainwashed little people...

What happened to the fat short girl who "opened up her own office" in Maryland? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Oh yea it this is the best part i forgot to tell you idiots, so i sale wax in the company, okay. i sale about 30 to 40 cans a day in between 10 dollars to 15 dollars now mutiply 15 dollars with 40 cans, did you do naw your to slow thats 600 bucks, okay you with me now when you sale over 28 cans you get 35 % commission under 28 is 30% so mutiply 600 with 0.35 can you do that? naw didnt think so put the calculator down, i'll help youthats 210 dollars i made in one day now mutiply that by 6 days, okay you got it? naw but you know its alot...lol i got you its 1260 in one week.
