National Strategic Corporation should also be called the National Slave Corporation. That's what you are if you become employed by these clowns. A slave that works for no money at all.
I attended a group interview for this company, thinking that my luck was finally beginning to change. The company site seemed a little bit off to me, I guess I was expecting something more than an EMPTY OFFICE! At said interview, we were not asked any questions, but rather told about the company. The president, Eugene Shatsman, said that they average entry-level employee made $955 dollars a month and increased that amount to around $3000 a month when they were promoted.
After a personal interview, I was hired. Little did I know, the other people at the group interview were probably hired as well. I heard later that my friend's husband had applied for a job with this company and went through the same nonsense.
The first order of business? Legal paperwork. I waded through a plethora of legal jargon and paperwork until I finally noticed a cute little detail in tiny print. National Strategic Corporation said that their pay was "3% of earned commission with an increase to almost 10% after 90 days." The company we were promoting was not going to make that much money. Their services run about $100 a pop. This means, IF I were to get a sale, which was nearly impossible, since we were encouraged to only put in 4-5 hours a day, I would get a whopping $3.00 from it. National Strategic Corporation was basically making me work for free.
I asked the "secretary," who mysteriously could not be there for any of the interviews, if there was any pay. She did not answer me "yes" or "no," but rather re-quoted the legal stuff.
Another suspicious thing is that the president told me there was only one open position. He told us at the group interview that all people with all backgrounds have to start at entry level (if you're stupid enough to buy this scam, you're stupid enough to start at the bottom, I guess). After I got the coveted position, I started noticing that job ads were still being placed on Craigslist for this "umbrella corporation" and that pay was "based on skillset." There was even a job ad placed for an "internship," but wasn't that what I was doing? I certainly wasn't going to make $955 a month as I was promised.
My "boss" was a joke. I did some research on him and found out he had just graduated from college... the same college as the president attended. The president apparently has companies in Michigan and Cleveland as well. Upon further investigation, I couldn't find an office in Cleveland. The EMPTY OFFICE was the only one.
I worked for three weeks before calling it quits. I have worked at a call center before, making $8.50 an hour. I was doing this work for no pay. I was supposed to tell the "boss" about any connections I had made. He could have made sales and not even told me.
Finally, I sent in my letter of resignation. I never made a single cent. I found out later that the president was renting out the office to other businesses, that's why it was empty. Another cheap ploy to make money. My father researched the business and found out Shatsman JUST received his license to practice business in Ohio. He should have it revoked. He lied at the job interview. He runs a cheap company with buddies from college. He scams people and makes money for it. He should be investigated.
