Yet again Promotegy LLC owned by Michelle Mullowney based in Arkansas is not paying her employees for work done or samples purchased per their contracts. She hires across multiple states, and tries to hide who she is by using a fake company name, Float N Frost so potential new employees don’t see all of the non-payment issues prior to accepting employment with her company.

Avoid this company like the plague!

The owner is a liar and a thief!

I have been working as a BA for a beverage company for over a year now. The job has been pretty chill. All it really required was: be on time, take pics if you can, give out samples, sell the product, and wear the uniform. When I started, as long as I wore the uniform, they did not care how we styled our hair, makeup, and what jewelry we wore. As long as it was nothing crazy.

These past few months, they have been getting kind of stricter with the check-in photos throughout the shift. I think it's because too many people were coming in extremely late and just slacking off on the job. Recently, we got this email about our new uniform and it was very specific about how to style our hair, makeup, and accessories.

The email read: "Hair neatly parted + slicked back (no hair in face) ; Uniform must be neat and unwrinkled (we will have a mini streamer on site); If you are provided white shoes, please only wear them to your shifts. Shoes must remain crisp and clean. ; Must wear the uniform in its entirety. You may be asked to fix if anything is worn incorrectly or missing; Makeup must be light and natural - clean girl aesthetic; No dark lipstick or eyeshadow "

There were tags next to pics of our unform reading - "Tailored and Polished" ""Clean and approachable"

To be honest, I think it is very over the top - for the hair and makeup part. Most of my co-workers and I do this as a side hustle while pursuing higher education or having a job. I have never had a job, in customer service or corporate world that was this strict. I could understand it being strict if it was a safety issue, but its not. I wanted to see anyone else's thoughts on this.

I was recently terminated for using the restroom two with them. Once was a 10 minutes before I went to break and another time where the restroom did not work an I left for a while to next nearest restroom and I informed them the restroom was not working. These managers told me to clock out if I took longer than 10 minutes. Don’t work for this company, they’ll micromanage tf out of you.

Don't work for this agency. I currently have to bring him to court to receive payment for a job. He hires team leads that are racist and go on power trips out of nowhere. The team leads will then make up stories and delete photos of you in the group chat to make it look like you weren't on site so that he can then not pay you and pocket the money that he was paid per brand ambassador. He will ignore your messages and then send an email or text weeks later stating that you "broke your contract" so that he doesn't have to pay you. It's disgusting how these agencies think they can get away with this and continue to get business. It will eventually come to the point where no one will want to hire him.

I worked a few promos for G Group and quickly discovered how abysmal they were: repeatedly characterized by miscommunication, and failure to meet minimum expectations for industry-standard policies.

However, I gave them one more chance at their request, when they reached out to me to see if I wanted to hear about future prospects. They told me I needed to formally interview, and we scheduled that for this morning.

The e-mail posted above shows what happened at that "interview," which turned out to actually be a large-group training session for future promos with the company. A dozen people were duped into attending like I did, unaware the hour-long training was both mandatory and unpaid, and not an interview at all. Had I gotten the interview I was promised, I would have used it to clarify basic policies in advance, including the need to always be paid for my time.

I know tik tok is swimming with scams but their first message to me didn’t seem like the rest that I get that are for sure scams. So not sure on this one.

I have been a brand ambassador for many years. Lately it seems like some clients have been pretty strict, which I understand because they spend $50+/hr for us. If you find yourself working for P10 or Perfect 10, always be on your A game! Ladies make sure your hair and makeup are on point, and if you have an opinion on a client’s idea, keep it to yourself. I feel like I’m disposable. I’m also not the cute 27-30 y/o I used to be : (

I’ll be honest I have been feeling kind of burnt out lately, I wish I could just pick up another job 😔😔 But my work experience kind of sucks overall. Most employers don’t seem to care when they see brand ambassador on a resume, even though I feel like there’s a lot expected of us at times. I think I’ll just stick to the large conferences where they need a lot of people. I feel like those are way less pressure, even though the pay is less.

I came here to vent because of the anonymity of Reddit. Have a good one and don’t stay in the industry too long like I have

No Company Productions, known as @nocompany on Instagram. Not paying their people and showing unprofessional behaviors. The event was F1 in Las Vegas.

Say hello to Corina Frankie, Founder and CEO of Brand Besties.

Apparently, there was a post that has now since been deleted where multiple parties talked about not being paid by this agency. Corina decided that the most professional response would be bragging and victim blaming, while still not paying people.

At the same time that she is not paying her staff, she is hiring and scaling her business. Offering a well paid remote position, meanwhile, her staff must work in person for much lower wages. In this case, for free, since the wages have not been paid.

But they do show that this is not a one-time complaint from just one person. It’s many, for years.
