I work under AO and when I first started I was told I would get paid at least $xxx a week as long as I was doing what I was supposed to. I always did what I was supposed to and never got what I was promised and when I mentioned it I was told it was "Miscommunication." Not only that, but I would do the first half of the presentation if not the whole thing, and would not get paid for it since I am not licensed in the state the sale was. During "training" I made my trainer THOUSANDS and I did not get paid a cent. I was told this job would change my life. It did that... It has put me between a rock and a hard place. I was out sick for a few days and when I got back I got lectured about expectations. I have been working LONG hours every day since then for FREE because I have been calling the same couple of leads every day for the last month because they are all I have... I am thinking about taking tomorrow off, but even though I am "released" I am having to sit with a manager since I was out sick. The manager does not even follow the script so sitting in with them does not teach me anything. But despite that with me not wanting to work so I can take care of myself and my mental health I was lectured about "expectations"... I am EXPECTED to call the same people Sunday through Saturday and have no days off because I have not made any money. I send the texts and double dial like I am supposed to, but I am having to call these families and individuals at least 3-4 rounds every day for weeks... I have had to resolve so many because they are very frustrated with the number and frequency of calls. I think this job could change my life IF I HAD THE RESOURCES others had and the freedom to make my own schedule like I was told I could. I have seen other members of my team have triple the amount of leads I have and yet I am being berated because my close rate and the clients reached are low.
