If your ever received money from Mr. Vivona, then you are very lucky. This guy never pays rent, bills not even his employees salaries.

I just witnessed the quickest line of interviews in my life. 5 women in and out of Marco's office in 30 minutes. He spoke of the business and was quite persuasive. Did you work for him? I've worked for companies that fail to pay their employees and their bills, is this true what you've said?

If you ever see a dime from this crook, you'll be one of the lucky ones. I took a job with this company, against my better judgement. After I sent in some orders I asked them for a copy of the invoice, so that I could keep track of my commission. I kept getting the runaround and finally quit. Now it's been over a month, and I STILL haven't received ANY paychecks from them. I worked for them for a month and was never paid. Now, they won't even return my calls or Emails. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. MARCO, MONICA, TAMMY, and ANYBODY ELSE THAT WORKS THERE ARE ALL LIARS AND CROOKS. Marco isn't even Italian, he's from South America.

Well I guess I was lucky enough to get one case of samples. If I'd only known then that the 12 bottles of wine and a carry case for them was going to be the equivilant of a paycheck, I would have walked out of their office right then. The "limited vocabulary" is awesome. I found myself saying on the phone "Can you say that again?" too many times to count. I am also considering an attorney. I spoke with somebody at the Department of Labor and they said because I was in outside sales, the only way to get my money was to get an attorney. Also, as a former veteran, I am going to get in contact with AFFES, who operates the package stores on military bases and inform them how Marco and Son treats their employees. Maybe they will be kicked out of McDill AFB and any other.

Well, I was rading and I felt I had to say something... I am from Uruguay, I have a degree in education and languages. I also work as a model with some agencies. And I got the offer to work for Marco in Florida to promote the wines he imports. I have to say he has never EVER failed to pay, he's taken care of all my expenses (as well as those for other girls that are working with me) he's never ben dissrespectful with any of us in any way. I was horrified when I read evertything that was written here... but I must say I have no negative comments about Marco Vivona, in fact, they are only positive ones... anyone interested in contacting me please do so!

Well, did you stop to think that the reason he paid you is because you are also from Uruguay? It's been 3 months now and I still haven't received a paycheck.

Did you ever think that the reason the young lady from Uraguay didn't list her user name was because it was in fact marco or his scam family members. I feel for anyone who has or will be talked into working for this crook! When I interviewed with him, he is so desperate to get a contact with Publix and Sweetbay, he asked who he should talk to as I have friends and contacts that would get his company in the door. I can't believe that they haven't revolked his green card yet.

I now really doubt that Ligianaclara is real. I myself have been a wine girl... and he does not treat girls right... He pays, always late, but pays, but he humiliates, screams, and controls your professional and PRIVATE life.. so Ligia, go ahead and name the girls that are so pleased with the job...!
