The problem with AWE is that they treat their affiliates as if they are the enemy. They don't give a rats ass if their screw-up causes problems for their affiliates. This is abundantly evident from their policies and practices.
I posted this on the AWE board in the midst of the "check is in the mail ... not" fiasco:
I used to work as an Institutional Bond Trader for a Wall Street brokerage firm. This was in the late 1980's.
If a payment was ever delayed they would do whatever it took to get us paid ASAP. Replacement checks would be sent from the home office by Express FedEX within 12 hours. Sometimes they would send a Courier if FedEX wasn't an option.
They would do this even if the commission amount was a few hundred bucks
That my friends is how truly professional companies that derive their income from a sales force treat their people.
If a manager ever made his people wait for payment because of a company screw-up, he'd be fired in a heartbeat and would never work on Wall Street again.
This isn't Wall Street, that's for sure. I just hope it's not the sewer that runs under the street. As I said in my original post, how AWE handles this will show me how much they think of their money-makers.
Will they be AWE-some or will they be AWE-ful. We'll see
