Pros

You learn a lot at this job about direct marketing techniques. They flew me to LA for a week of training and post of the people who work for this company are just nice people trying to make a living.

Cons

I should have known when I interviewed with them and they told me I didn't get the job, and then they called me back a week later and said this had been a problem with their candidate, offered me the position and they asked if I could fly to LA in 5 days for training. Then, how about we start with that I worked for them for 6 weeks and they paid me for 2? I was supposed to be on a salary (one of the first times they tried to make my position salary.) They were already three weeks behind in their payroll. So they paid me for my first two weeks and then when they were supposed to pay me my sign on bonus and the rest of the pay, no money ever came. I actually took them to court in a civil case and won, but they never paid me. I've had to get a lawyer and I still dont have the $3,000 that they owe me. This was a policy of theirs, I had multiple employees complain to me that they hadn't been paid, particularly after they quit or gave their two weeks notice. My father also fell chronically ill at the time I was working for them and they had no sympathy at all, basically told me to suck it up. Half of their management quit while I was working there due to BS and not being paid. This company is a complete joke, I could go on for three pages about all the crap that went on their. I don't actually know how they have been around so long. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM. You will make no money, they expect your soul and their products are complete junk from China.

US Jesco Response

This Woman's name is Katie Elisibeth O'Brien. This individual was hired and did spend a week in LA for training at the company's expense even enjoying a perdeum. Upon her return was written up twice in less than 2 weeks. She failed to achieve even the most basic of her job duties, couldn't be reached by her direct report or the corp office, Did not report to scheduled store events, was not downloading store set up photos, or sending in inventory. After being reprimanded she decided to quit which she did before her first paycheck was due. Only then sighting her sick father in her resignation letter. She was paid for 3 full weeks and the company never received any worthy work from her.. The most ludicrous was when a full semi truck delivery came and she was caught out of state with no approval costing the company thousands of dollars. No payroll inquiries were ever made to our office,or to us from labor board. People like this are the biggest problem in this country. We are a family run company and value every person that works here. Jay Spalding 1-800- 509- 0436

Pros

Flexibility and you can make pretty decent money if you hustle.

Cons

Some of the management isn't above name-calling, cursing, and screaming at you to make their point. This is not the way to do business, and is so far beyond professional, it's unbelievable. When I first started, my Regional supervisor was terrific. She was professional, caring, and went out of her way to make sure the sales agents had a comfortable working environment with everything they needed. I was happy and impressed with the company, She left last year, and was replaced by someone who not only actively discusses with sales agents how he cheats on his girlfriend with other sales agents, but regularly uses the above scare tactics and using his explosive temper to make a point. He's also not above throwing everyone else under the bus to make sure you know he's always right. To be honest with you, I left because of him, but the company itself is in trouble. A lot of great people have left the company due to the lack of growth, terrible work/life balance and expectations, poor organization with payroll and with stock ordering, and the dwindling chains the company has been left with.
