Telesolutions International - U.M.A. - United Marketing Association
Based In Las Vegas Nevada Unpaid wages, Paystub mishaps, False accusations ripoff

I have worked for Telesolutions International for the past few months. I recently quit. Why? More like why not? First off, I should have known better the minute I walked into the doors, but I was desperate for a job at the time. The whole thing is a huge scam.

They tell you that they pay you for your training, then after you've spent 5 brutal hours of things you already knew. they tell you that you wont get paid for training until a month later.

On the pay stubs, no hours worked is listed. I have worked in more than 15 places. Each and EVERY paystub Ive ever recieved has had the hours worked listed. Telesolutions did not. They cheat you of your hours worked. Once you point it out to them they find ways to avoid fixing that problem.

I told them that I found a better position with a different company, non sales related. Paying me $14/hr. The General Manager Mrs. Pam Keith said to me, and i quote, "Well here, you have the potential to make $18/hr and I was actually going to promote you into the closing room" yeah. that's bull. I guess she's making up stories now because maybe i got offered a job that pays more than she'll ever get paid. I have the best job opportunity, full benifits, no sales, thank god i have secondary education.. cant say much for the schmucks working at telesolutions. Most of them barely passed high school

moving on. then she refused giving me my pay cheque. Why? I DONT KNOW! Because I dont work there anymore, apparently it has to be mailed to me.. But i was sitting in her office this morning staring at the stacks of pay cheques. They owe me two pay cheques and my 14%. I've been top sales person more than 3 times, I always showed up to work, I did everything they told me to. The minute I found a better position to better my future. they start treating you like you've done something wrong, then they try to screw you over by with holding your cheque. They have messed with the wrong person.

In point form.
- Lunch room. This place has well over 200 employees. Each employee making on average 10-15 sales per week. Each sale being 60 dollars (approx.) Don't tell me you cant afford to make a bigger lunch room. Its like 8ft by 20 ft.. no joke.
- You are nothing but a number. If you are producing, they want more out of you. Managers freak out on you when you made "only" 10 sales in one week.
- Recycling call lists. 80% of the calls I made were people who have already been called about 20 times within god only knows how long.
- Apparently you have to give them a 2 week notice to quit after less than 30 days of working there. Legal??? hmm, lets check up on that.
- Shift started at 8.30am. my manager forced us to start dialing at 8.19am. did we get paid for it. nope.
- Every employees personal life is told to everyone else. When you call your manager to tell him or her about a personal problem or reason as to why you are going to be late or absent. The minute they hang up the phone, they share your personal dilemma with the whole floor.
- This place is filled with crack heads, drug addicts, trash, managers claiming to me ex lawyers, doctors.. shaddaapppp!

TO MY FRIENDLY AMERICAN FRIENDS.
I just would love to give my friendly American friends a heads up. When you hear the following script, tell them to put you on the DO NOT CALL list. Save yourself the trouble. What is the script?? Well, here it is...

Hi %%% my name is %%__ Im calling with UMA in Las Vegas, Nevada and this is just a courtesy call to let you know you've been entered into the DREAM COME TRUE SWEEPSTAKES! So CONGRATULATIONS! Now, the sweepstakes are held every year for prefered customers of VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, and DISCOVER. You do have one of these correct?

GREAT! Well, In that case, as a sweepstakes contestant you are in the running for 25, 000 in cash, a BMW sports car, a trip Venice, Italy, a trip to Australia, plus hundreds of other valuble prizes. Now, Obviously someone has to win, so best of luck to you. I do have a few Quick Survey Questions here for you: Are you Married, single, or engaged? Are you inbetween the ages of 18-20, 21-25, 36-69, or over 69? What are your hobbies?

Then they tell you about a free diamond watch (that you'll never get. and its plastic if u actually do get something), 3 magazines for the weekly delivery of one, yadda yadda. Some customers don't even recieve these items. Be cautious. you're paying 3.99/wk for 4 magazines.

Let's break this down.

UMA (United Marketing Association) Telesolutions International
3.99 x 4 weeks (one month)= 15.96
60 month contract (five years) x 15.96 = $957.60 USD

Entertainment weekly 40 weekly issues for $20 USD
$20 x 5 years of service = $100.00 USD (approx, give or take a few dollars)
100.00 x 4 different magazines (same average price)= $400.00

SO, tell me, within 5 years of magazine service, would u rather call and subscribe to the magazine you want for $557.60 LESS by calling the magazine's direct line.. or go with "UMA"??? It's a scam. Unless you really enjoy paying $557.60 for a dollar store watch that you may not even be recieving.

Enough said, Ive wasted too much thought on this lame company.
