I recently quit a job that was direct marketing management, basically, I ran those people who give ridiculous pitches at club stores. Anyways, had some trouble and ended up quitting, however, I have some concerns, and really want to kind of "warn" others about working for this company (they're doing huge, active recruiting all over our area, which I helped set up *yikes*)

* they encourage employees to skip the half-hour mandated meal period. (by encourage, I mean they STRONGLY SUGGEST, and call and check on you, and tell you to get back to work)

* almost 20 hours a week of business related phone calls, zero phone compensation. 

* they are incredibly misleading about travel. in the short time I worked for them, I put almost 800 miles on my car, and their daily compensation for travel capped out at $12.50.

* I quit over a week-and-a-half ago, and have yet to receive payment. (California law states that businesses have 72 hours to pay their employees in that situation). 

* Even though the business had all of my banking info, I was still required to drive to the office to pick up my paycheck, usually a couple days late.

* Due to late paychecks, and them not paying me now, my phone has been shut off (of course with a lovely $100 restoral fee), and several of my other bills are now delinquent, which of course means huge overages!

*they are just *shady*

I'm fed up with my current job, but I want to warn others about working for this particular company, and maybe have them pay me for my last 2 weeks

I quit a job, and feel like I want to warn others, but I'm not sure if I should.
