I was an installation techician for atlass, and i must say that this company was awfully deceiving. Any company that hands out booklets of information to persuade people to work for them is not legit. One time i was sent to Washington D.C. to help out with their office. When i got there, along wih three other install techs from Philadelphia, we were thrown into a condo with people you would not believe.
Upon arrival and meeting our new "roommates" our manager told us about how these guys that we were living with took greyhound buses from Utah to Washington to work for Atlas, but the recruits did not have sufficient transportation to do jobs (possibly because they were alcoholics, one was a convicted sex offender, and the other only 16 years old). We were stuck in Washington DC with these complete ### of society, in danger for our lives. Before Atlas had paid for them to get back to Utah by Greyhound, the had informed us that they had stolen a guitar and some other stuff and pawned it for about $800. Fortunatly the only thing that happened to us is that one of the other guys got their digital camera stolen.
I was told i was going to be compensated for what i spent on gas for the trip since I was doing them a favor, i never was. I was promised many things by this company, i invested a large amount of time and money working for this company, going through three re-locations with my own vehicle. I am most foolish for have believing what i was lead on to believe was legitimate, in acutality was completly bogus. Eventually, one day i just woke up and realized how miserable and hopeless this "opportunity" was. I just packed up my things and went home.
Any company that promotes by means of phamplets, is more than likely illegitimate. I could inquire many storys about how they put 9 employees in a three bedroom condo, to how they justified ripping up my friends paycheck because he had beer in an apartment (he was at the legal age of 22).
They folded, i know kids that are waiting for paychecks as big as $4, 000. Unbelievable, bankruptcy is their only motion.
