    My best experience comes from my brief hiatus from the Merchant Cash Advance Industry..... when I sold replacement windows.

    We essentially raped people, $200 Kensington windows were marked up to $1,200 Plus.

    The whole premise and structure was just incredible. Led by a charismatic (so he thought) CEO, feathered hair and cowboy boots, whom had went to a Tony Robbins retreat and regurgitated everything in just the worst way.

    There was so much turn around at that place, so many customer complaints, lack of service, lack of just everything.

    One of the sales reps was a Crack Head, that made the owner money, but was essentially put on "probation" - This resulted in random urine tests, which resulted in the ****ing guy stashing clean urine all over the office.

    Some other funny tidbits, the owner had sconces installed in the office to reflect a "relaxed atmosphere" - and he referred to these sconces on almost a daily freaking basis.

    The manager is an Industry Vet that was well past his prime and seemed to have early onset alzheimer's. He also is the host of the longest running AM "Oldies" Radio show in the county....

    The ****in place was hilarious. Sales Reps could "discount" the price significantly, and this resulted in customers saying "so, you just tried to f*ck me 5,10, and 20 Minutes ago with absurd prices" - The prices were still absurd.

    The one guy they had that kept the whole operation afloat, was a lifelong window salesman, that honestly was a complete f*cking monster (i've tried getting him to jump ship and do MCA's since i've met him, he is just too used to Windows) Guy would be a monster. He eventually left and started his own Business, I'm not sure how the original place stays in business, they stage "Video Reviews" by offering discounts to Windows, it's the most horrible things you've ever seen.

    The sayings, and the cult like atmosphere is just too much.

    They started doing some weird spirit animal thing (picked up from tony robbins).

    What a **** show of a place.

    This sounds so much like the broker shop i worked at, my first day the owner got "amped" and took a baseball bat to a reps computer. we also had the office crack head who would talk in a british accent half the time to try and get submissions. i had just moved to florida and proir to mcas was in the car business it was a hell of a culture shock to say the least

    My first ISO Shop was actually the ****, started at 19, and hooked me right in.

    Nice ass office, Bently, Benz, G Wagon, littered with expensive cars.

    Standard money everywhere, put on the wall for next deal in, etc, But I ate that **** up at 19.
