Premier Promotions is merely the Richmond, VA version of the same scams that are mentioned previously with alternative names, ie. Quantum, Rising Sun, etc, etc, BUT Premier has added a new twist--
Perhaps what they do is not EXACTLY illegal, but it sure borders on it, and can definitely be described as unethical and, in my opinion, immoral. They dangle the carrot of "having your own business in a few months", depending on how hard you are willing to work...
The place is a never ending turnstile of new and desperate (remember I just finished my first AND LAST day with them!)applicants who will be 'direct marketing' car wax, DARE, Directv, cosmetic products, etc..they need continuous flow of people because only about 1 in 10 is dumb enough not to see the writing on the wall ! After you go thru 2 hours of their rudimentary and sophomoric 'training", all the while being forced to stand without leaning on the walls, you are driven to the 'event'... to be on your feet for another 8 hours or more!
I am an old guy with MANY letters after my name and former owner of a few of my own business in the past. I have had some tuff money times and thought I could use all my experience to leap frog much of their protocol, but they treated me just like the high school drop out with whom I had to spend the whole day pushing Nascar wax and fixing windshield chips.
THAT is the NEW TWIST-- through Apple Auto Glass, in Texas, this group is now repairing chipped auto glass-- after seeing how it was done one time, I was supposedly trained! The polymer never cured on several repairs that my trainer did.
The morning chanting and such is like being in a cult or junior league type sports team..Loud music does not pump me up -- It is annoying!
The GOOD NEWS -- I only wasted about 1 and a half days-- AND I hope this gets out to all on the net to warn them of this piece of crap company!
thnx

BUT WAIT THERES MORE, TESS LEFT FRANK [censor] [censor]...LOL OH AND HIS [censor] BOY PETE, LISTEN TO THIS FRANK GAVE HIM (I BELIEVE) ABOUT $20, 000 TO OPEN A NEW LOCATION IN PHILLY. HAHA HE DIDNT STOLE THE OTHER LITTLE [censor] BOY CONNOR'S CAR AND DIAPPEARED. TESS WENT BACK TO NEW YORK AND UM YEA FRANK IS LEAVING RICHMOND TO OPEN UP PHILLY HIM SELF. SOME ONE ELSE WENT TO MARYLAND. THIS IS ALL ONE BIG [censor] SOAP OPERA
It is so, so, so funny watching the girl who went to Baltimore brag about how much money she makes. She brags online and really, she is either flat out lying or she is stealing from people with this windshield scam in order to pay her bills. What a sick, twisted, pathetic [censor].
I worked for this company when it first began in January 2008. The owner at the time was Francis "Frank" Quagliano, who moved here with his girlfriend Tess, and his dog. They also recruited to managers from Connecticut Peter, and Mike. I was quiet and I probably was one of the longest running employees there after a 3 month employment run. I met my quota so many times, but because I had to travel for school on Friday's and I made up my day on Saturday's, I wasn't able to move to the "next step" because I didn't put in a 6 day work week. I worked everyday from 8am until 7pm sometimes later. I was told that I also would be making no less than 300 a week. Yeah Most of my checks were 75 a week most I ever received was 250. While I was there I observed so many shady things. In the morning when we had to set up our bins for an event if were were short items in other bins, Frank would take "Donated" items and resell them. He wanted us to collect taxes on items that were sold 1 dollar for one item 2 dollars for 2 items purchased etc. Whenever the taxes were over for the amount of items sold (Which was always) he would pocket the difference. He would sometimes jump into the "training" session and lecture us on how sales need to be higher and that our careers would be better if we really learned how to take money out of people's pockets. There had been more than once when people stole each other sales etc. I was a believer at one point, but that quickly faded because I would observe many things that just didn't sound kosher. I would leave events early many times to go to other job interviews at the end, and because I realized I was actually scamming people out of their hard earned money. Our receipt books were stamped as "Premier Promotions: Professional Solicitors" When I applied for marketing & advertising jobs, I don't remember signing up to be a scam artist. I studied advertising in college, so I assumed I was being set up for success but in reality I was just scamming people out money.
All You people saying you make 350 a week, I make more than that just waiting tables on the weekends!
Wow...Sounds real aggressive, racist, and hostile to work here. I'll tell you one thing after reading these messages, I would punch this Emory jerk right in the face as hard as I could the second I saw him. Shut his fat mouth for him.
Then I'd step on him, and wipe my dirty shoes on him on my way out.
Well Big and tough bring it when ever you're ready. I shut ### like you down. im in Richmond Va and on facebook. when and where
