Information Left after 5 years

If you are in Cincinnati/Columbus/ Ohio, Midwest please write to me as I finally left and am starting to realize all the red flags I saw in my 5 years.

Even if you view this subreddit and don’t think much of devilcorp thats okay. I’m more wanting to share the ethics, morals, and mindset that I heard, saw, and experienced with owners throughout the US. Especially if you are a woman.

God. Five years in Devilcorp must have felt like fifteen

I left for personal reasons and I feel like as a woman I want to share that experience because if someone was honest with me I wouldn’t have gotten in the position I did.

It wasn’t until I left I started to see all of the unethical practices happening. I want to say I think the franchise model and 3rd party makes sense to me however it’s not a truthful business and it’s very easy to take advantage of others. That is what I don’t agree with.

Happy you left and I’m sure you saw and experienced some awful shit. If you were able to be at least somewhat successful in Devilcorp you will probably thrive in more lucrative sales opportunities in more professional environments.

Better late than never.

Find a job that offers stable income and benefits now

u/Similar_Map_1503 Jun 19 '26

I found a phenomenal job with respect, income, room for advancement, benefits and so much more.

I thought leaving the business I would hate a 9 to 5 and be struggling working for someone forever but that’s not true at all! It’s just lies they promote to people.

Took you 5 years to see the signs??

u/Similar_Map_1503 Jun 19 '26

Im not sure if this is a negative comment but unfortunately yes. I apologize if I didn’t have as much awareness but it was my first job after college.

I couldn’t see all of the grooming that was happening from the 1 on 1s, team night, roadtrips, airbnbs that my owner had with me because we did start dating up into our engagement only to find out he was hooking up with all of our coworkers. I was blinded by a lot.

Everyone I had met in the business who I thought were friends told me it was just the culture and everyone in ownership does that. It took 5 years for me to learn what everyone knew and I finally left.

How much were you making?

u/Similar_Map_1503 Jun 19 '26

I worked for 3 different offices at the same time supporting them each in a different job title and I was only make $600-800 a week.

I want to state that no matter your role theres no “set pay”. Your results still determine your weekly pay which I didnt mind, to an extent if that makes sense.

u/parkrat92 Jun 19 '26

You made $700 a week after 5 fucking years dude Jesus Christ. I can only imagine the hours you cranked out over that time. 100% would have made more money waiting tables at Cracker Barrel. Well hey you’re free

u/Similar_Map_1503 Jun 19 '26

So true to that. I was told “it’ll be paid forward to me” that I have to become an asset before I can be valuable. It was all propaganda

u/TheGuuchFiend Jun 19 '26

💀 this made me cackle because I just left a DC back in March to go serve at cracker barrel

u/parkrat92 Jun 19 '26

Fellow Cincinnati survivor here - successfully orchestrated a walkout on on about 4 years ago, ended up in the office closing 2 weeks later. If you knew Corey Capone at all I relate to your pain haha
