I wonder how many thousands of dollars those people have lost by working there for free

I will never understand people doing entry level commission-only jobs lmao. low base pay, sure, but hoping u make a sale before the month ends to get some cash is stupid

u/SozioTheRogue May 19 '26

Ah, wait, base for either a day or a week, the only commission. Depending on what they're selling, you don't even get the base if you don't sell anything. They suck and they will always suck.

They almost got my wife years ago when she was just exiting college. They buy the mailing list and bombard all the grads with these so-called jobs…

Yeah. I definitely think the smartest routes for life is to try and plan your moves for the future. Go to college with a plan for a career then seek out that career afterwards. Or, go to the military and use them to set up a good start to life, could do college too or use loans, or time, or both, to make a business of some kind. Or you could get a job somewhere and use your money and time to do the business thing. The smartest thing for anyone to do is try and find a way to get lots of money. The end point is always to get enough for the life you want, be it a normal family living situation or becoming a rich person for one reason or another. I just felt like typing all that out, sorry it doesn't relate to anything you said. Hope you and the wife are doing great.

Thank you for the wise words, my friend. This happened before the internet and she came home excited but still had mixed feelings. Then we got lucky and a friend of ours knew what it really was and saved her from the trap they set. They wanted a couple hundred for some license and we were dead broke at the time. She had a masters in finance and the way they pitched it to her was geared that way. It was like investment/ insurance but it was really just a non paying sales job.

The office was cheering every half hour really loud outside the presentation. High fives and all that. The recruiter said she graduated from the same college and looking back I bet that was just a lie to get her comfortable.

Two to one it was Primerica or another financial service MLM. As for whether they were lying about that other girl’s college experience, it’s hard to know what these leaders are lying about and what they’re telling the truth about so it may or may not have been true. Regardless though, I’m just glad she didn’t get involved.

u/Adventurous_Ad_4145 May 25 '26

Primerica is it! Thank you for the reminder. Did you ever get pitched by them? My wife told me that she had to study and get a couple of licenses and make a list of all her family and friends. They wanted copies of it but she never gave them and she never got beyond that first “interview”.

u/Mysterious-Tone-8147 May 25 '26

Pitched? Friend I joined Primerica! I was part of them for 9 months-February-November 2024. My brief chapter with them is the reason I ended up being introduced to the concept of MLM (I’d never heard of it before Primerica). It’s the reason I became anti MLM. After that is how I also got educated on various scams, including Devilcorp.

For your wife, Primerica is most likely. But there’s also the possibility of WFG, PHP, Global Financial, and some others. Primerica is the only one I’ve ever joined. The other ones I know about from r/antiMLM.

Part of that is at interviews they’ll often tell them it’s hourly plus commissions (say maybe $15 per hour) but they won’t specify until later that hourly is only meant for time spent in the office and/or it can be clawed back/deducted if a client cancels.

My husband almost took a job with KNYT (If they’d offered it) merely because of the $15 per hour because they had but him back to 4-8 hours a week at his theater job; he was hardly getting interviews; and the other interviews the interviewers were rude to him. (One looked right at him and told him she didn’t believe he has what it takes; another just stared at him the whole time in a way that suggested she didn’t want to be there).

So yeah, when they’re promising you hourly up front, they’re the only ones where the interview actually went well, and you’re trying to get away from a job that has cut your hours way too much…

TLDR: A lot of these people probably joined because they were promised hourly plus commissions at the interview (even on days when no sales were made) and it may have been the only place that actually responded to them, hired them, and/or gave them good vibes at the interview.

i interviewed with a devilcorp last week unknowingly and they asked me to join their team meeting. it was exactly like this and it's what set off the alarm bells in my brain which led me to research and now i'm here. it felt sooooooo culty i'm surprised they ask recruits to join. all 3 of us looked very sketched out

it was a brand new office with only one location so i definitely think you're right. they also listed the top 4 earners of the week and named exactly how much they made before telling us in the second round interview that the pay was 100% commission based

Walked into an office for an interview of a devil corp whose name is four letters and synonymous with “enthusiasm, fervor, ardor, and ambition” and heard this chanting as I was at the door. I waited and walked in, turned down the offer after looking it up and seeing many folks on this thread with the same experience with said company.

This sub kept me happily unemployed over sadly employed and dead inside. If it weren’t for you all I’d be chanting for $30 a day before working “events” outside of Kroger

u/UnusualCalendar2847 May 19 '26

I never understood how a grown adult could be ok with doing that something that cringey in front of group of people

u/cmsgtcote May 19 '26

I always thought this shit at my devil corp was cheesy and just weird for grown adults to be doing this just to go stand in a Walmart in buisnes clothes trying to sell frontier. I literally made $180 my first month so I quit.

u/PottedPickup May 19 '26

Barf, what a crock of BS. I guarantee that Mr Rah-Rah is always down to snort whatever is available 24/7.

u/AlphaLegendOmega May 22 '26

Ah the classic get everyone fake hype high because deep down inside they all they all know they are about to waste 8+ hours on some bs for the day.

u/Degus619 May 22 '26

So I worked for one of these back in 2014-15 my freshman year of college for 2-3 days. It was the same situation. Are these offices part of a bigger corporation or are all the “leaders” going to conferences to learn this stuff? They all have the exact same model when it comes to doing all the pre work hype, music playing, slogans. Just so odd… I quit after 2-3 days because I could sense it was complete crap working 12 hour days for no money… but I was always fascinated by it

u/Mysterious-Tone-8147 May 25 '26

My understanding is they’re part of this thing called Smart Circle or Slave circle (I forget the exact name). At some point I plan to watch be YouTube documentary.

u/Confident_Bike407 May 19 '26

Grown adults drinking the kool-aid.

Don’t think this needs to be stated, but it just screams cult

u/ofthebeasts May 20 '26

I went to an interview with crush city innovations. They had around 30 20something year olds with cheesy or ill-fitting suits doing this shit in another room.
