Innovation sticks it to employees and clients!

Innovative Teleservices hires every two weeks new applicants.  

BEWARE of the fact that they hire you without benefits at $9.00 an hour but pay you( $8.00) Plus they deduct $35.00 from your first paycheck for telephone and ear piece equipment.

They don't have Direct Deposit for employees at all. But they have a strict rules!! If you want to use the RESTROOM you have to raise your hand for the restroom pass. YES, I said restroom pass! And if you get low pledges you will be tapped on the shoulder and sent home UNPAID for up to 3 days straight. Most people have Privacy Manager to BLOCK telemarketing calls so you better think twice before entering the field.

I am seriously thinking about leaving real soon just to get some peace in my life. Working for these guys gives me bad vibes.

    you sound really educated..haha.. your probably couldnt hack it so they got rid of you.

    as far as the place is concerned its probably one of the better telemarketing places I've been at. There fair as long as you work your hours.. Cool managers but the biggest dislike about the job was getting told no a million times.. I currently still work there so as long as my pay keeps going up I don't have to many complaints.:)

      You can't say you sound really educated, when you used the wrong YOUR, and you also used the wrong THERE. Think before you post and call someone out for being stupid! Lol Keep the complaints about the company, and not personal attacks. This company is very rude, and never leaves messages.

      Let me guess either you are a manager that works there and pretending to be an employee or you got management and the owners balls down your throat. Either way stop making the job seem like its so easy to do.

        The job isn't easy but management makes it harder.  Insist and demand employees produce so many sales per hour and want them to rebuttal every call.  People may say they're homeless, into stage four cancer, Innovative managers yet want you to ask those people for money.  Also they consistently play games, rig phone system for certain individuals to produce high sales  forcing them to believe they're doing it themselves acknowledge them as "The Top Five". Rig phone system for certain individuals to produce low sales too. Company appears to be in dire straits. Before September 2016 employees worked 44 hours per week, now just 40 - Red Flag. Still leasing two suites side by side, but all employees are NOW into just one suite, using dialer in just the one suite - Red Flag. Dialer repeats calling same people several times a week and apparently several times a day also lots and lots of wrong numbers - Red Flag. The planned new location/office in Grand Rapids by the end of the year NOT HAPPENING either.

      You should have capitalized the sentence and you mean "ha, ha" and "you," not "your," and there should be an apostrophe in "couldn't," and "as" should be capitalized, and you meant "they're" not "there," and you put two periods at the end of several sentences instead of one, or even three (either of which might arguably have been acceptable), and you meant "too many" instead of "to" many, and, in short, you really don't need to make fun of someone else for how educated they sound. (but hay wot dew eye no..?>)

    I quit couldn't take the bull
    This company sucks and needs to be shut down ASAP!!! If you enjoy ripping off innocent people for a bull [***] charity then this job is perfect for you. However if you have a moral compass all money is not good money especially if you want to sleep at night. Btw management does suck and yes you need a bathroom pass to use the restroom so glad I don't work for this heartless company anymore.

    CHILL

    I recently started working with innovative and I must say, I understand where everyone is coming from, especially with thinking were a rip off! But I have to say, for all of you who complain that "not enough goes to the kids" well thats because it doesnt go towards treatment! Were a fundraiser! And the 12% that goes toward the wish baskets goes souly toward the baskets! But heres the catch! If you dont donate...then 0% goes to them... And for the self righteous man who says were "evil" and sickening for "trying to steal money from these kids" ... Go [***] yourself... Were a fundraiser...we raise funds...I dont understand how people dont get the economics of it.... It costs money to make money...and yall werent such selfish pricks with dispositions against helping CHILDREN we wouldn't have to call you in the first place...

    Thank you for your time, and have a nice day!

      Thanks for your honesty. I was researching your company before I made a donation and your response just saved me 50 bucks. Sticking with St. Jude children's hospital.

        I hope you know st Jude only give 8% of their funds to their children.  But yall have to realize that were trying to make the kids feel better about themselves.  Get them something to get their mind off of them being sick for a minute.  These are little CHILDREN and EVERY DONATION COUNTS.  Whether if it's 12% or 8% . I would rather give them the 12% on every dollar i have then 0% .. im js, but i work for this company now and all i can say is it's not that bad.. its a job,  i dont plan on being here forever.  But if you don't like this job then leave.  No one is stopping you so stop complaining.

          to dumb BOB THE SHILL replies to Anonymous
          Bob, you are a pin head & a liar.

          Less than 2% of the money collected by Innovative Teleservices goes to the actual people that the charities actually support. 88% goes to Innovative Teleservices & Jack Juncaj & the 12% at best that goes to the charities Innovative collects for most give less than 10% to the participants. Do the math - utter and shameless scam! You should be ashamed!

          So out of $1,000,000 "donated/scammed" $880,000 goes to Innovative Teleservices and 120,000 goes to the charities and then these scam charities pass on less than 10% .. at best a $12,000 donation out of 1 million dollars. Come on it's a scam pure and simple.

          https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.history&orgid=12847 Innovative Teleservices does not work for St Judes, nor have they ever.

          Do donate 100% directly to a charity that uses the money properly. Not some scammer the keeps 88 cents of every dollar.

      If you want to donate to a charity, contact them directly.  Ask them for a mailing address and send your contribution.  This way they get 100% of what you donate.  This is the best possible "economic" scenario for the charity.
