Sure. There was a rep who was sent to a very remote area. The company had said there was a high demand there but it was completely the opposite. He had to spend all his savings just to survive there as he wasn't making any sales. He felt really betrayed by the false information given by Southwestern Advantage.
There was this guy who thought Southwestern Advantage would be a great opportunity. He signed up and was excited at first. But then he realized that the commission structure was really complicated. He had a hard time understanding how much he was actually going to earn from each sale. And when he finally made some sales, he found that a large part of his earnings was deducted for various reasons he wasn't clearly informed about. He ended up feeling cheated and frustrated.
One horror story could be about the over - promising of sales potential. Some reps were told they'd make a fortune but ended up barely breaking even due to high costs and tough competition. Another might be about the long hours in the field with little support. Reps were left to fend for themselves in unfamiliar areas. And there are stories of misinformation given to customers. For example, products were not as described, leading to angry customers and a damaged reputation for the reps.
Sure. There was a case where an elderly patient with Medicare Advantage needed urgent knee surgery.

This delay in treatment was extremely painful for the patient and could have led to more serious problems.
There was a host family in a big city. The Southwestern Advantage representative staying with them was very polite and respectful. The family was initially a bit hesitant, but as time passed, they became really close. The representative often cooked meals from their homeland for the family. They had great evenings sharing stories about different places. This not only broadened the family's perspective but also created a long - lasting friendship.
A host family once had a Southwestern Advantage student who was determined to succeed despite many challenges. This student's positive attitude inspired the family.

Sure. There was a story about an old inn in a small Irish town. Guests who stayed in one particular room would experience cold spots in the middle of the night.

There's a story where a group of hikers came across a large patch of Nepeta in the mountains. One of them, out of curiosity, picked a small piece. As they continued their hike, they got lost.

It was a terrifying experience for them as they struggled to find their way back to safety.

Sure. There was an orphanage where the children were locked in their rooms at night. One night, a fire broke out in the building.
