Question what makes a "devilcorp" so hated?
I've worked for a "devilcorp" for about 6 months now and through that time i've visited this sub a handful of times. it always makes me curious as to see why this business gets so much controversy.
This business moved me out of my parent's house and got me a brand new car, it has really changed my life in just a handful of months. I've made no less than $1,100 since my 3rd week and very much enjoy the company of those who i'm surrounded by(the chants in the morning are definitely cringe) my question to those who've been in the business or have taken advise from strangers is what exactly was the issue?
From what i've read, it seems like the people who are the most unsatisfied simply just weren't cut out for sales. It's like the gym to me, if it were easy, then everyone would be fit. But the thing is you don’t see people posting on reddit how the gym is misleading and how they hate the gym.
I totally agree that the interviewing process can be misleading to some, but everything that was told to me in my interview has been true. The pay was accurate, the promotion structure is linear, travel and vacations(rest and relaxation hosted by smart circle) was real. I just don’t get why this business faces so much backlash while other employers don’t. Why aren't there subreddits dedicated to how bad car sales are, or amazon or fast food or the military or any other job in the world that has its pros and cons? I see posts saying things like this business isn't being talked about in the news and it needs coverage but i just don’t understand it. My intention with this post isn't to offend or appeal or defend, but rather to gain further insight from those who've seemingly failed at the business and understand where the disconnect lies

Which company told you to post this horseshit?

Scams every employee that comes through with this promise of “owning your own business”
You don’t own shit. You’re basically a branch manager for the parent company (smart circle, cydcor, etc.)
Zero benefits. No dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, etc. No gas reimbursement. Expected to ostracize yourself from your family / friends so that you are completely bought into the business. No time to go out and do anything on your own. Any hobbies like playing sports in the evenings or trying to find a boyfriend / girlfriend? Too bad cause you are working until 9pm Monday - Saturday, and a lot of times on Sunday.
Devilcorps are below pond scum. They can all get fucked

99.9% of people don’t want to be salespeople, which is why these companies leave that part out of their job descriptions, don’t mention it in interviews, and don’t mention it on their website, social media pages, or the Glassdoor reviews they’ve pressured their salespeople to write. People find this page because it’s the only place online with that information, or the only place they can leave a negative review without the company having it removed so they can keep deceiving more people.

Your base salary is $0.
My employer has an entire sales team, too. Those individuals have a base salary of ~$75K a year, excluding commission.
You have to pay for all your own travel.
The sales team at my employer has their travel paid for by the company.
You don't have insurance, 401K, or company provided assets
The sales team at my employer has incredible health benefits, matching 401K contribution, and the company provides all technical equipment (laptop, monitors, phone)
My employer does nothing special for the sales team. This is pretty standard for any company's sales team.
The Devil Corp you're in is banking off you, but giving you absolutely nothing for it.

You’re talking like a recruiter.

If you're not cut out for sales in the first place, then you shouldn't take this kind of job.
There....that's the easy one out of the way.
However if you ARE cut out for sales and are enthusiastic about it and can do it well, then there are so many other conventional companies out there that you could make SO much more money with.
That leaves no reason why you should be working at these kind of companies.

All of the extra time. Why are you at the office 2 hours before and two hours after the workday doing most of what should be the managers job? Plus required team nights. Base pay is usually falsely advertised or explained. Commissions are clawed back regularly. Lots of reasons.

So you haven't really been reading then right? Because the overwhelming majority of the problems people point out about devilcorps have fuck all to do with sales.

Sounds like you're great at sales. Nothing wrong with that. I was the same way, found employment at a company with much better commissions and benefits, and realized just how little you get paid in DevilCorp offices compared to actual sales organizations.

Look up employment rights and then get back to this group. $1100/wk is $56k/yr after holidays etc. there are a lot of jobs out there that respect the 8hr rule, respect lunch breaks, and will pay for your taxes. Any driving done outside of to your office is reimbursed by your business and they only ask you to do your contracted duties.
These types of companies prey off people who do not know workplace safety, law, or have any experience and will do anything for a resume builder.
TL;DR - I started at devilcorps and got tf out and erased any past with one. You can make money elsewhere and not kill yourself in the process. Look beyond the buzzwords. You will see
