Misclassification of sales telemarketers and disorganization of sales and tech team

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I worked for the company for less than a week. The sales manager was bragging about how great I would be on his team and I would because I have been in real estate and loan sales for years, but wanted a supplementary income job until I take the real estate and mortgage loan origination test to be able to sell real estate mortgages again.

I had never used Salesforce, Phone Burner, and Ring Central plus Screen Meter to login my time and I was having some issues with editing Salesforce. The recruiter told me to get Windows 10, add more RAM and get a new mouse for my computer and expected it to be done in one day....I told him I couldn't do that and would have the computer upgraded next week...but I understood they couldn't hold the job open since they were so desperate to get appointments set. I sent them my time sheet and received 1/4 of what is due. I am giving them an opportunity to pay me for the 14 hours, the appointment and the 10 emails I logged in or I report the company to the California Department of Labor for Misclassification of Employees vs Contractors...we were micromanaged on the dialer, calls recorded, had to adhere to the script verbatim and the calls were monitored.

Independent contractors select their fee, get the work completed on their own schedule by a deadline, are not micromanaged and this company is violating all the rules for misclassification.

I'll report it to the IRS if they don't fulfill their obligation to pay me the entire amount I am entitled to receive. After all, I had two other job opportunities but decided to take this one because I could work from 6am-12noon and be finished whereas the other two were more time-consuming.

Thanks I applied and they reached out. I don't think I am going to take it.

This is for customers not employees. This should be removed.

I disagree regarding removing it. Now that I know what they expect from their employees, I can see EMC Financial is no place for me to do business with.

Nothing Fast about EMC Financial

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

EMC Financial has been calling me for a period of time asking me if my company could use some extra capitol. On Friday September 22nd 2017 I spoke with an individual that named himself Matthew he sent an email to me, the guy was very animated to make sure I put Matthew in the subject line of the email when I sent in the documents.

We spoke on the phone and he Matthew requested 12 months and an application for funding. Which I submitted to him via email and he told me he would call on Monday September 25th in the morning. The call never came so I decided to call his direct line number provided in his email. The number was disconnected on Monday September 25th.

So I looked up their company information online and got the phone number and called the office. A person by the name answered the phone in a unprofessional manner and answered "who is this?" I was set back by the answering of the phone and asked who this is and he said his name is David. At first he acted as though he did not have my documents I submitted and then within 30 seconds he suddenly claimed he had my file and told me he would call back in 1 1/2 hours the call never came in. I told David if I did not hear anything from their office by the afternoon that I am sorry but will secure funding elsewhere.

My concerns are: 1. the unprofessional conduct of the employees at EMC financial 2. That they have bank account information that they may use fraudulently 3. requesting documents to be sent by email which is very unsecure 4.

There claim on their website of being in business for ten years but yet they got licensed in 2015 with the state of California (so possibly conducting business without a permit) 5. There is no information when googled about their parent company Direct Business Financing, INC I feel bad for having to write this report and hope they respond. Financial documents to me and I am sure to many business owners in todays world are concerned withal the fraudulent activity happening in the world. I feel preyed upon as a small business owner in California and wonder if they are a predatory lender and if they are associated with EMC mortgage of Texas who has many complaints on line regarding their business conduct.

On google EMC claims the following: EMC Financial emcfinancial.com Fast business credit: simple process, quick approvals.

We offer competitive rates to save you money, and help your business grow. Fully licensed.
