Hi author. I am a former employee of Urban Development and I witnessed first hand the manipulative ways of not only the CEO, but the managers and other employees as well. I worked for urban development in 2011. I come from a great suburban home and while my family does everything for me, I wanted to do for myself for a change. Due to the fact that I had to go through a background check I THOUGHT I would be working with individuals of class and integrity. Boy was I wrong. The guys there hounded me like I was a piece of meat. Unfortunately for them I am a lesbian and wanted absolutely no part of that. Even when I stated this, they still acted like dogs in heat and with no self control. Some of them were alcoholics, some of them did illegal drugs including crack (I can prove this) and it was extremely "ghetto". The managers and "drivers" who we're suppose to be of a higher character, constantly hit on me, discarding the fact that I was at least 17 years younger than them (I was 18) The men there are dressed to "look" like they have morals but I assure you, they don't. I have met felons, I roomed with a woman who was about 36. She was a felon and admitted  to committing violent crimes. I was scared to be in a room with her.  I witnessed her sleep with other employes for money. Why didn't I say anything? It's  not my duty to play security. I had another roommate that did time in prison. She also sold weed and pills out of our room. Now about the lying, that was key. I was told to say I had a child, which I don't have, I was told to make up a sob story. I was told to say my mom died, that's not true. I have been to doors and personally heard people tell lies about their past. When I asked if I could mention that I was going to school (the truth) they said no. I told "the Jones's" my truth anyway. You are taught to scam them, make them feel sorry for you. This is something I refused to do. I hardly ever made quota and after a month of being "used" I decide to go home. The hotels were decent, some where very nice. You will get $5 in the morning  and $5 in the evening. They drop you off in the middle of nowhere and you are to knock on doors for 6-8 hours. You do not get a permit. Just you and your ducat for 6-8 hours in the sun. You are encouraged to knock on doors with no soliciting signs by the managers, drivers and CEO. This I absolutely refused to do. I found it to be rude and inconsiderate. They make you work 6 days a week and if you don't make quota all 6 days, you will receive $20. $20 for working a 30-48 hour week. They might provide you a way home, they might not. When I was there, they owed an employee about $600. They told this employee they could have the money or they could provided them transportation home. They would not do both. They say prayers and god is a factor for them but how can you be so god loving know your ripping people off everyday by telling them lies? I was also told to target elderly people and young people. A "come back" for when an elderly person says "I'm sorry but I'm on a fixed income" would be "well thats great, I'm working on fixing my income as well". That is pathetic. The company says they do not allow or tolerate employees taking donations, which is true, they were very clear about this but employees still discarded this and take as many donations as they can. Especially when it's time to "jump" (Travel by van from one state to the next). I am now a member of the military and I feel sorry for the individuals who are still being brain washed. The CEO pretended to care. He would act like he cared about us all individually. Lies. He only cared that we were making him money. 
His business practices were, unlawful, lacked ethics and any type of integrity. I would never buy anything from this company because the people they employ are not trustworthy at all. I have seen, with my own eyes, employees void out the order and keep the cash for them selves. That's my 2 cents. I will be glad to give further details or back up my claims with names, dates, places and more.
