This is so great. I cannot believe that Julia Davis Haasch has changed her business name AGAIN. Ok, so let's go down the list of all the names her "business" has gone by:
Davis Direct Marketing
DDM
Difference Defined Milwaukee
Prestige Inc
Divine Divisions Marketing
And that's just in, what? Four years of being open? Not to mention, she's switched locations 3 times, changed her email address, phone number, AND website several times, and even changed her NAME just so people couldn't trace her on these rip off reports. It's free to make a DBA in Wisconsin, so it's no surprise she's doing it so often. Julia Davis Haasch will be nothing but a two-bit scam artist her whole life. She's persistent though, I guess you have to give her that. No amount of lying, ripping off, and cheating people will stop her from continuing on her creepy cult like business!
Please do your homework and look up all of these former "business names" online and on rip off report so you know what you are applying for. DDM took away 2 years of my life that I"ll never have back and left me broke and hugely depressed because of it's cultishness, crazy hours, crazy lying tactics, and manipulation from Julia.
If you have found this report, then look no further....especially if you have applied, will apply or are scheduled for an interview. Don't waste your time, or your money. I guarantee you will make more money and better benefits flipping burgers for McDonald's.
Here is a brief timeline of this awful company.
Started in 2006 give or take as Davis Direct Marketing (after the bonehead new rookie owner Julia Davis) in Menomonee Falls, WI off of Lilly Rd, just north of Silver Spring Dr.(the old name stickers are still on the door today). She "opened" her business (thought it was closely regulated from her previous "boss" Larissa Hawley from back in San Diego, California). Yes, this business came to us from a whole othercase of businesses gone wrong, and innocent entrepreneurs screwed over.
Because she was a rookie owner, and to save operation costs, she moved into a pre-existing building with a differentrookie owner, Kevan Smith who "ran" Next Level Promotions (an Innovage basedbusiness to business toy peddaling operation).
Initially, Julia's business was paired with a great charity that raised money for exploited or missing children. The work sucked, pay was awful, but it was semi-rewarding knowing that "some" of the money was going back to help the charity. That's where the benefits begin and end. And I am sorry, you can't pay your bills on that.
If you haven't researched by now, the way she operated her business was she would conduct massive interviews. She pays a recruiter who places ads, and makes a list of names based on who applied and the admin or herself would call every name on the list. If you sounded young (late teens-late 20's), had a working car, didn't sound ghetto, spoke intellectually, sounded normal, a few kids or less, you were given a chance to interview. If you sounded ghetto, or rough, didn't have a car or anything like that you were skipped over, or told that they only had follow up questions for that time, and then would move on. Julia Davis Haasch many times has descriminated against interviewees based on age, appearance, backgrounds, and has even refused to give people legitimate interviews because of her opinion of the interviewee. Her target demographic is all she was interested in. But because of legal issues she started to be slightly less selective in her interviews..primarily because one man accused her of not moving forward in the interviewing processbecause of a felonious charge on his resume. He was right, she didn't move forward with him because of his resume, though she told him differently.
Not only did she prejudge based on sound, appearance and quality of resume or email address, she would often times make fun of the appicants based on their background's, schooling, hobbies etc. And anyone that had felonies listed, she would often times excuse them from the interview, or would ask a series of generic questions just to get them out of the office.
Initially, after she conducted her bazillian interviews, she would then do call backs of people she wanted to ask back for 2nd round interviews which then consisted of a full 8-hour unpaid day of observation at an event (typically gas stations, grocery stores and pet stores outside and in all weather) and consisted of the interviewee travelling in the car of the trainer to the event and wherefor at least the last 4 hours the interviewee is trying to impress the "trainer" by trying to work and solicit (all for free and the hopes to land the gig). What happened if the observation didn't go as planned for the interviewee? 9 times out of 10 it was up to them to find they're way back to their cars at the office, sometimes hours away. Pretty shitty, huh?
Evetually the 8 hours un paid day of observation caused problems so she shortened it to about 2 hours and even inisisted the candidate follow to an event where they could observe and meet back at the office for a 3rd round interview and make her hiring selections fro there.
After the poor kid gets hired, they now had quotas to meet before they could arbitrarily be "promoted" to a leader. A leader, in order to move up to an Assistant manager had to have a certain amount of first generation and 2nd generation employees who had to consistenly sell 300 or more in product every day out in the field. If they didn't make their numbers, they'd hav to go out at night and try and sell t-shirts and other crap often in bad areas and bars. They would go home, and come back bright and early to do it all over again. Supposedly, the assistant manager would receive a salary pay based on a percentage of sales. Not entirely sure because I never made it that far, good thing I didn't. For the "assistant manager" before they could be promoted, they had a "push" which had even greater expectations and requirements for quotas. Not too many people ever made it this far. And if they did, it took them often times 1.5-2 years to get there, not the 6-12 months claimed during interviews.
The most awful part of this is that most if not every single employee went d**n near bankrupt just trying to be successful. You don't get paid mileage, no vacation time, no sick time, no benefits. You use your own vehicles, mileage, cell phone and everything else. Such an awful company. Yet it sucked so many innocents in, me and my friends included.
What a cheap dumbass) Difference Defined Milwaukee lasted a little bit, but the truth of the business reaching so many started to hurt her financially. She got into a office space that was too big for her small and dwindiling company and she was getting to the point of not being able to afford it any longer. So, they moved again, and also with it a brand new business name and new location which is the present location still in Pewaukee off of Capitol Drive. Now under the name Prestige Marketing, and a clever" AchievePrestige.com" website...she thought she surely was going to fool people and lure more in to her business. There were also changes in the marketing tactics. First it was selling toys andchild identification kitsto raise money, then it was selling toys for toy charitys, then it got as far as selling make up an spacrap inside of Sam's clubs.
Iworked for the above mentioned monstrocity of a "company" through the 4th or 5th business name change, Prestige Marketing frompractically the very beginning( I lost track). There weren't too many of us that lasted that long because frankly, the turn around was so high. From what I can remember, only6 or 7 or so "assistant managers" ever made it to opening their "own business". Unfortunately none of them survived as they were promised would. This business is a cult that preys on innocent individuals' time and money and resources. You do all the work so she can reap all the benefits.
WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? I hate to admit it but I was suckered into this so called "job" by the owner and her cronees who painted this as my dream job. Asking me during the interview process if I would mind spending a few days in Arizona or Texas, and then saying we sold high-end Make-Up, Skincare as well as sold for Nascar and other sports affiliates. I have only traveled around the state and at my own costs (gas & food) the only thing they pay for is lodging at a local hotel (Travelodge, Econolodge or as one of my co-workers said Ecnolodge). I was forced to work 10 hr days (10-8:30p) inside of Sam's Club and sell inadequate products. Twice I had to travel with two co-workers who were off their rocker, one chose to smoke a cigarette, talk on a cellphone and bite her nails while driving, OH and while we were on a campaign up north she decided to smoke in the hotel room even though it's Illegal! The other co-worker got lost three times on the way to LaCrosse, and she wouldn't start screaming and yelling at her cellphone. On a recent campaign up north on my own, the battery in my car died and when I called to ask for help all I got was a "what do you want me to do?"
Be forewarned that they are not as sugar coated and wonderful as they make themselves out to be. Unfortunately I had to take this job otherwise I will be homeless.
