you are just one of those people they look for because you were scammed. i thought i was getting a job doing demonstrations for the majestic [ they say its not a vac] and i was never paid for my work and further more they harrased my customers on the phone and tried to pressure them into buying something they said they could not afford. they tell u that u are not a sales person but if someone does buy u have to do the credit application and / or get their check and u then convence them to use the one u have there because they dont want to give them a brand new one. they charge $1500.00 for a vaccum that u can get for $200-300 dollars. further more they tell u that u can return it within 5 days but if u try the will refuse to come get it and put u off until the 5 days have passed.THIS IS A SCAM AND A RIPPOFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi M++++ (yes its obvious who wrote that),
Look kiddo, I am so sorry you got fired, but going online and lying about the situation to make the company look bad won't make it any better. First of all, we all know that you had fair warning that your performance wasn't up to par before you were fired. It's sad to say, but you had given up and stopped trying to do a good job, and it was obvious to everyone around you. You were even taken aside and "warned" several times that you couldn't continue to be paid at an hourly job if you weren't doing your work. So yes, it's too bad that you were let go, but don't say you weren't warned or try to blame it on other people. There are plenty of people who work hard and DO WELL at the job you had, so it's not anyone's fault but your own that the job didn't work out for you.
Secondly, as an employee of over 1 year at Global Breeze, I would hardly call it a "fly by night" operation. The company does have loyal, satisfied employees who find the job rewarding. Maybe those of you online reading the complaints should consider that the hardworking employees of the company are busy doing their jobs rather than writing junk messages on the internet. The same goes for most corporations; satisfied customers rarely take the time to rave about good service, while people who have bad experiences (even if it is the minority) tend to raise a huge stink about their problems. Did anyone on here ever think that there might be more objective opinions to listen to than those people who slacked off, didn't do their jobs, were justifiably fired for poor effort, and then used their spare time to complain rather than work to find a new job?
It is truly unfortunate that the people who work hard for Global Breeze must suffer from the condemnation of these few. It is so demoralizing to hear people say that they "Googled" our company and found no complimentary information. This company is a branch of HMI, a corporation that has been in business since 1928. They pride themselves on helping people with health problems and providing excellent customer service, and I know of very few people who have legitimate complaints with that business. Yes, the company books appointments to come to the home and demonstrate an air filtration system. In return the heads of the household recieve free gifts, which are accurately described before the appointment is set. The person watching the demonstration is NOT required to purchase ANYTHING in order to get the free gifts, which is exactly what they are told on the phone when the appointment is set. If they do decide they like the system, they are welcome to purchase it, but the sales representatives are trained to be professional, polite, and FAR from pushy. If the person declines to purchase the system, the representative will thank them for their time, give them the gifts, and leave them in peace. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE PERSON IS TOLD ON THE PHONE BEFORE THE DEMONSTRATION, AND IT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS! If someone doesn't want to watch the demonstration, they can state that on the phone ahead of time, and the appointment won't be scheduled... NO representative EVER comes to someone's home without their informed consent. The company even calls each person twice to confirm the appointment and answer any questions before they send out a representative. This is a valid business, which provides an essential service to some people with health concerns, and does not endorse lying or cheating people in any way. Employees HAVE BEEN TERMINATED for lying to customers in the past, so it is in no way an accepted practice in the company. I am so very sorry to those of you who suffered from an unfortunate experience with Global Breeze, but the circumstances were doubtless unique to you. I hope that those of you seeking information about the company would take these comments for what they are - the cathartic release of a few unhappy individuals, subjective emotional opinions given by those who think they have better things to do than work hard for a living.
Your right this company is such a scam. They say these complete false spiels like "we are allowed to have a weekly drawing and you are one of the lucky ten names that was drawn". There is no drawing any one who enters to win a car or anything at the mall or even at an event as long as they seem like they might have some money is called. Given this complete BS spiel that they one some prizes. Only to find out Gloabl Breeze is trying to get their sales reps out to your house to show give you a 3 hour, yes 3 hour sales pitch on a vaccum. Yes not a surface cleaner a vaccum. Only these poor people who are taken advantage of have now idea that the at cost price of their crappy majestic vaccum is really $626.00 and their Air Filter which works just as good as a Hunter Air filter is $313.00. They charge these poor people up to $3,000!!!! What a rip off. They don't tell you that the mark up goes directly into the sales reps pocket, Donovan Adfield's (the sleazy manager of Global Breeze) the to Greg Benassi (the owner of Global Breeze).What a rip off. You think you one something and they show up with some cheap crappy knives that a child could bend the cleaver and break them, a cheap 5 dollar underwater camera that will soon fall apart, or some dirt cheap plastic salsa maker that they got for 6bucks , or the worst one is the 3 day two night NOT FREE AT ALL vacation. This vacation charges you room fees, taxes, 50 dollar registration fee and even more. So in the end you win $3000 dollars worth of debt for a vaccum cleaner that falls apart, the clamps break all the time, buttons fall off you hose, and the power nozzle shorts out. WARNING GLOBAL BREEZE, WESTERN HEALTH SYSTEMS AND FILTERQUEEN ALL TOGETHER IS A HUGE SCAM TO RIP YOU OFF AND SEEL YOU A VACCUM THAT IS MARKED UP BY UP $2,400!!!!!
Wow "look Kiddo" That must be Gr## Benas## himself. The owner of Global Breeze. Of course the owner has to defend his crappy company so he can make more money and send young sales reps out to go door to door and sell his vacuums to the elderly and people who can't even afford this over priced vacuum. The former employee who wrote that posting was right. Global Breeze conducts illegal activity. Like paying the wife of a Sales rep under the table when she legally isn't suppose to be working. Global Breeze treats their employees like scum. They pay these people in the phillipines to call you and say they are doing market or even environmental research (LIES ALL LIES). Then they call you back and say it's for market research just a follow up. Even though they are just like KIRBY and VACUUM SALES OFFICE. They say they put all their research into some website. Has anyone else noticed that the dummy website http://enviroairresearch.org the numbers on the statistics never change. They only change the "last updated" date once a year to make it seem legitimate.Then they send some young person who just got a job their thinking they will make big money only to find out it is all unpaid unless you can sell their crappy vacuums and sell big. OF course barely anyone can do this so they fire each and everyone of them and don't even pay them one cent for their weeks of work. Most of the time even if you sell they will say "you have details to handle so I took it out if your check" and the person will never get paid and Donov## Adfi### and GRE# BENA### will get to pocket all their money. THIS COMPANY IS A HUGE SCAM. Who profits, Not the young women living off of welfare in their telemarketing rooms making 8 per hr., not the sales reps going door to door giving high pressure sales pitchs to sell their over priced VACUUM that has been marked up by up to $2,500 dollars, and definately not the innocent people that have not idea they are inviting VACUUM sales people into their homes only to be taken advantage of and preyed upon by GLOBAL BREEZE and taken for all they are worth. I once heard them say we can't go to this elderly woman's house she has Alzheimer's and the daughter has control over her money and the manager said Damn, we could have got her. How sick is that! The only people that profit from this company is the manager and owner! DO NOT EVER BUY OR WORK FOR GLOBAL BREEZE!!! THEY ARE A LOW SCANDELOUS COMPANY WHO ONLY WANTS TO WORK YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE OR RIP YOU OFF AND TAKE YOUR MONEY. But you know as the manager of GLOBAL BREEZE DONO### ADFI### says "BUYERS ARE LIARS". Well I have to ask who really is the liar... I'll let you decide?
I can not believe some of these remarks. Do you people really have nothing better to do than to try and destroy other people? I have owned my FilterQueen for 8years and I love it. My grandmother owned one and so did my parents. Yes they are more than you would pay for a Department store item. But the customer service and warranty is worth every penny!! I have always gotten great customer service when ordering my replacement filters. These companies are not scams if you can not afford to buy it then don't! You can say NO! I recently saw the new Defender demonstration and asked to see the new Majestic and I purchased both!! I am very pleased with both my products and now I can pass my older machine on to my grandchild who loves it!! This gentleman who came to my door was very pleasant and did not try to push me and I don't feel I was ripped off or misled!! I got a very nice set of Steak knives and the vacation voucher was great!! We spent a weekend free in Breckenridge Colorado and we were returned the $50.00 deposit required. Come on people let's face it there is really nothing in life FREE!! But we stayed at a great hotel and it was worth the deposit!! My grandson also got a great little camera and fishing tackle kit with a pole!! So please if you do not like an item must you try and disrespect an entire company!! FilterQueen has been in business for 80+years and these individual companies work under them. I love my FilterQueen and if you have never seen it you should take an hour of your time to see it and I promise you will love it!!
I work for this company and I do hundreds of surveys a week sorry that you feel this way. The website is updated not sure how often but we are a busy company and do research for many agencies and groups.
