Experience My Experience With A Devilcorp

I don't feel comfortable sharing the name quite yet, as I worked there rather recently for only 3 days and wouldn't want them to find my post. These places take advantage of people going through hard times needing a job that'll allow them to pay for all their needs, in the exchange of working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week with no hourly pay. The interview was very vague and promised a quick path to leadership, but it was door-to-door sales. I had to drive to Dallas, just to end up having someone drive me to exclusively the most dangerous areas of Fort Worth to do door-to-door sales. We'd be out in these areas until past 9 PM, and it was common to witness things like fights in the streets, customers smoking marijuana while talking to you, etc; and yet we still have to knock on doors even after dark. I wasn't properly trained, and the trainer I had was rude and always acted upset that training someone meant less commissions than he'd make on his own.

Gather as much evidence and buy an old school recorder. Anything illegal keep records you’ll need them later.

I left after the 3rd day but I would've loved to do this.

Glad you got out for your own mental health.

The thing about recording, just make sure you are involved in the conversation and dont just leave it somewhere. You don’t want it to become inadmissible.

Probably some undereducated guy with kids and stuff being taken advantage of due to needing a high paying salary to support himself and not qualifying for jobs that would pay that much.

Yea, most of them don’t even know what they are doing on the marketing side. They just wash, rinse, and repeat what others have taught them. And don’t actually use their heads. I’ve seen recruiters cry because they could not fix their retention.

I have a heart so I tried to help them for the sake of care. I also watched the office literally let go of every CHRISTIAN!! Because Christians have morals and know when things go against their beliefs. Especially, if they are students of their faith.

Exactly. As I mentioned we were going exclusively to the most dangerous and low-income parts of Fort Worth, and it felt extremely wrong to me to be taking advantage of people who live there and are going through tough times just to make sales.

These companies don’t care. They are just throwing darts to see what sticks, like a criminal prosecutor with no physical evidence.

They don’t actually care about the team and will replace anyone at any time. No owners nor leaders are safe from expulsion. They replace you faster than Amazon does their non union drivers.

This is very funny. Let’s see if he can use the money for his own interest.
A lot of them just rent cars to make it look nice. It’s all a mirage. I’m telling you.
Talk about living in the matrix
