lack of payment

I lived in Ohio and had found a job in Buffalo, which was great because that is where my girlfriend lives. My girlfriend and I met online and had been in a long distance relationship for about a year. I started working for AMS January 3rd, they trained me for 3 days and then sent me out on my own. If you are looking for a career job in sales, this is a very tough route to go and these people, especially the owner are very shady individuals. When I first started there I filled out paper work about what plan I wanted to be on in terms of pay. My choices for pay options were full commission or base plus commission. I choice base plus commission because I was new and wanted to ensure I made some money. There is also an agreement with every employee that as long as they show up to each of the 3 training days on time they recieve 150 dollars. After my 3 days of training, I still badly lacked product knowledge and paperwork knowledge and they still sent me out on my own. The next 7 days of work was awful and the job was really getting me down and depressed. I'd say of the 40 doors a day that I saw on my own at least 20 of those people a day cussed me out, yelled at me, or told me that AMS screwed them over. After 10 days of working about an average of 10 hours a day and feeling depressed and having no confidence I decided to quit. Last week I recieved my paycheck after having to hassle them about it twice, my paycheck was worth 44.00!!! I expected to recieve about 400 dollars. 300 for the 7 days of base pay, plus 150 for 3 days of training. I thought about calling the owner again or even suing them, but just decided to move on stop allowing these people to bring me down. I worked about 65 hours in those 10 days and made 44 dollars, that's a little more than 50 cents an hour.
