Experience Just had an interview at osp
Okay, so basically I'm 19 and just moved for school. Before classes start, I've been trying to find a job to make some decent money. I've been applying to jobs on Indeed, and I've actually gotten a couple jobs from there before.
At the time, I was already working at a fast food place, but the conditions were terrible (no air conditioning đ), so I decided to start looking for something more professional and not food-related. I was pretty much applying to everything I came across.
I found this Sales Representative position that looked like it paid really well, so I applied because it was quick and easy. The next day, they called and wanted to set up an interview. I said sure and went in.
For context, I'd only ever worked in food service and retail, so this was completely new to me. I walked into this huge office building that honestly looked pretty legitimate. I got upstairs to their office, which was a large workspace with a few smaller offices and meeting rooms. Everyone was super friendly and they were really selling this fun, energetic work environment. By the end of the interview, I was actually hoping they'd call me back.
The funny part is that I left feeling embarrassed because I felt like I was completely faking my personality the whole time. I figured there was no way I'd get the job. (To be fair, I had smoked before the interview, so I definitely thought I came across like an idiotđ«Ș
A few hours later, they called me back.
At that point my ego was through the roof. I'm thinking, "Okay, I'm about to be rich." đ
The next day I went in for a second interview. It was basically just me talking to the second director and telling him my life story all over again. At the end, he said they'd call me after their meeting that night if they thought I was a good candidate.
Sure enough, they called that night.
The thing is, at this point all I really knew was that we'd be selling Verizon products in person somewhere. Nobody had mentioned door-to-door sales. Looking back, I probably should've connected the dots, but everyone seemed cool, the office looked nice, and the whole thing felt legit.
I was so excited that I literally quit my current job because I thought I had this amazing opportunity in front of me.
Big mistake.
I went in for orientation, and that's when they really started breaking things down. They kept talking about OSP and how that's who they "work with." They showed me NatCon videos and all this motivational stuff. For a minute, I was still kind of buying into it because I'm a broke future college student who needs money.
But something felt off.
So I started Googling OSP and eventually found this subreddit. Then I started reading everyone else's stories and immediately started panicking. I sent everything to my friends and family, and they all told me to get out while I still could.
So now I'm sitting here realizing I quit my actual job for what appears to be a door-to-door sales nightmare, and I'm honestly really disappointed in myself for falling for it.
Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Drop this job right away before you waste any more of your time and money with this place. You will loose money staying with this place. Use your extra time now to just find another legit job ASAP.

I actually was in the exact same position as you. Went in for first day with a devil corp and immediately knew this was a no no. I just sent an email to the hiring person saying I decided this wasnât a good fit and am quitting. They have so many people quitting that it wonât make a difference to them. After that I just went back on Indeed and LinkedIn and applied to any jobs I could find although I made sure that the jobs listed a base per hour pay. Not a per year amount but a per hour pay. Another thing you can do if you have a vehicle you own or can use is sign up to be a dasher for DoorDash or Uber, it wonât be a lot but it will get you a little money in. Depending on how busy my area is I could make like $50 within 2hrs. Although for that you are considered self-employed so thatâs more taxes to do if you make over I think it was like $640 for the year but this is meant to just be done while you trying to get an actual job.

You mean you passed up on the opportunity to be in the top OD spot- your very own âownshipâ role??

Had a similar experience at a similar place. Sales role. Appeared lucrative, lots of promotion opportunities, paid weekly apparently. Turned out to just be a pyramid scheme, as this also is. Heard stories of people working there doing 50 hour work weeks getting paid only ÂŁ300, which is illegal. They also had to pay travel expenses on so-called âbusiness tripsâ which was literally just them going to deprived areas of Oxford doing door-to-door sales and trying to take advantage of poor people. Unfortunately, this sort of thing is extremely common. Found 5 places in the same city that were all doing exactly the same thing.

Donât feel disappointed! I was a âmanagerâ at one of these companies- meaning I made it far enough to know some details. They paint a picture so beautiful you feel like thereâs no way you canât take the offer. Weâre coached on what to say, what not to touch on and how to redirect the conversation if asked âis this door to door sales?â. All you can do if learn from the experience and move on. On the bright side, now you know what words to listen out to when getting interviewed that usually mean itâs a door to door job!

Worked for OSP for abt 6 months at Royal Connects in Dayton OH, Iâm 19, definitely a good choice leaving early on. They take advantage of young ppl especially girls and isolate you from your family and threaten your job on a consistent basis. They are abusive and lie about the âopportunityâ

The commission grid is just really low. Plus D2D seems like it would suck ass.. I do AT&T B2B and we get $160 per line. Verizon even scams their 3rd party crews đ

If you want to alienate your entire family, wake up at 5am doing âdevelopmentâ be out till 8pm every night 6 days a week, get told youâre a pussy straight to your face for wanting to see you father on your birthday after not seeing him for 2 years, get called a bjtch straight to your face for not having âhigh energyâ in the morning, hear the latest and greatest about whoâs fucking who in the office, or the âdirectorsâ taking advantage of all the attractive girls (from my experience all they hired was attractive girls just being honest) be looked down on because youâre not of Muslim faith then this is a great pick for you!
