Description

Hello! Upon applying for a job in sales, I applied on indeed to "Anchor International" for a sales position listed as 800-1200$ a week. I was solicited for interview by text, which seemed to be automated, but was not due to the response timing, and local mobile phone area code. This was suspicious to me, and the google voice number I use for job offers also flagged the voicemail sent to me as spam. Upon doing some research about this company and their address, It appears that they are not actually paying that amount per week, and it is a door-to-door sales job, 8 hours a day, fully commission based. This is not illegal to hire people for, but I am desperate for work to pay the rent I am behind on... and need steady income, not false promises. They should be listing the job (as per state employment laws) as an independent contractor position, and CLEARLY state that it is fully commission based. Outside of legal regulations, this is clearly an MLM, and I sincerely hope that action is taken to end the company for good. After some reading, (google and reddit) I found out that this company has been operating under 3 different names. -Radiance Marketing -Anchor International -Allure Concepts -NOW Marketing Group Sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCjobs/comments/ob79st/690_8th_avenue_floor_3_10036_allure_marketing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCjobs/comments/18a421m/now_concepts_co_marketing_agency_43_w_46th_street/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCjobs/comments/113bf4m/exposing_employment_scammers/ Thank you for reading.
