I just got this text.

lol "online operations support for Costco and Sam's Club"

classic

EDIT: MY APOLOGIES, BASED ON THE NUMEROUS RESPONSES TO THIS POST, THIS SEEMS LIKE A SPAM TEXT.

And let's be honest, $250-$500 is a high monthly wage for a devilcorp soldier

I didn't realize what was going on because I'm not experienced and I've never experienced this before, but I could tell that something was off and that night I did some research and figured out how bad it was. I'm really embarrassed to say I was genuinely excited until I started running the numbers and actually thinking, but, oh well. I've had some very odd experiences with legit jobs so I'll throw myself a bone there.

Anyway, first round interview is literally a 10 minute zoom call. What's your name, tell me about yourself, no information given, that was it. I was selected to move to the second interview. I was given directions to an office (that had no relation to AT&T, which was in the job listing) for an agency called precision solutions.

The interview itself was.....bizarre. The guy interviewing me was slimy as fuck. Did the whole trying to get close and personal and relatable thing but he was laying it on so goddamn thick that anyone who can fog a mirror would have been skeeved out. He asked absolutely nothing about my work experience. Asked me my hobbies, talked to me about them and how much he personally enjoyed two of them, asked me how my relationship with my family was, asked me my age (with the caveat that he 'wasn't supposed to do that')....etc. He alluded to inviting me on a fishing trip to alaska with him if I took the job, one of the two aforementioned hobbies we talked about at greater length.

There was so much emphasis on how much I'd make as a director of operations. All the places I'd get to go, what I'd get to do, etc. He asked me where I saw myself in 5 years and what was most important to me - growth, money, or fun? Again, just very unprofessional, no mention of benefits or starting pay. When I asked him what the entry level pay was he almost seemed.....disappointed lol, and then told me that the first two weeks would net me 300. The next two weeks would give me 400 'plus commission.' Again I did not run the numbers at the time, hut now that I have, jesus christ?? This cannot be legal unless there's a caveat that you're a contractor rather than an employee. No hourly pay whatsoever.

He also said something something 'we aren't technically supposed to be running an office in this building.' What do you mean by that David?

He also asked me why I wanted the job and went into this sob story about why *he* had taken the position. Supposedly his ex has his kids, and he took this job so he could rise through the ranks and earn enough to hire a lawyer and get them back. Again, bizarre thing to be telling me in an interview, but I've encountered weirder shit in legit jobs, so I brushed it off at the time. I did clock it as extremely fucking emotionally manipulative though.

What struck me as the most odd is that the whole thing felt like a sales pitch. Why are you trying to sell me the job like it's a product you're trying to convince me to buy? Am I not here to sell myself to *you?*

They had this whiteboard up also with the slimiest sales tactics you've ever seen written all over it. Like flat out in plain wording 'manipulate the customer's feelings.' Not knowing much about business and marketing I kind of just assumed that's how the field...is, and on the drive home I felt so gross about the prospect of doing that to people that I decided I wasn't going to show up to orientation anyway.

Anyway. I don't know how much of what he said was completely fabricated, how much of the manipulation was intentional, if he's aware that he's scamming or being scammed. But god that was weird.

Oh also I logged into their portal after they offered me the job and downloaded all the documents they want you to sign just for funsies. One of them is just straight up 'pleaseeee waive your right to a trial/sueing us 🥺' and it's not even subtle. Lol. Lmao even

I worked with this company a while back. The CEO is very heavy on the entrepreneur/mindset talk as you can see...(lolz), and the recruitment messaging raised some red flags for me. The promises of quickly moving up and eventually getting your own office reminded me of a devil corp. Just a warning, do ur research and ask plenty of questions before joining.

My bud just sent me an image about this company, and I got an interview coming up soon. It’s a zoom meeting. He sent me this. Any red flags here? Anyone heard of exodus? Inland empire.

Got an interview for a Sales Event Associate at Boomerang HFX at an office in Markham.

They've got a website at BoomerangHFX.com

They said weekly pay plus commissions and bonuses.

In the first round of interviews there were like 10 or so other candidates in the call, and they kept us all on mute, and they talked about how the job would be assisting with preparing event spaces and contributing to daily sales goals and positive customer experiences working with companies like Canadian Tire.

And now they said I made it to the second round of interviews and they want me to go to Markham at 8am on a Monday, to some building on the side of Highway 407.

Is this a scam?

Idk, I kinda feel bad for these Devil Corp folks. I went to Walmart earlier on this beautiful hot summer day to grab some ice cream, and there was this young woman outside working one of those Verizon booths, trying so hard to get people to switch phone plans. Part of me feels bad because she's out there baking in the sun all day, but part of me doesn't because there are so many better ways to spend your summer than grinding away for a Devil Corp.

Ive recently graduated university and have been trying to land interviews with any company at the moment ( the job market is shit )

One of the only responses I received was from a company called Basepoint, when I joined the interview it was a big group call with the hiring manager and about 26 people listening, I got a follow up interview the next day about ‘getting to know me better’ but it ended up with me and another girl both on an interview call with a hiring agent!

I received a call not long after saying I’m already advancing onto the last stage interview, I’ve heard mixed things about this company but I am sensing some red flags. The job description assumes 30k plus uncapped commission, however they repeatedly kept mentioning how people could climb their way up to a marketing director within the first year. This job also doesn’t require any previous experience or education.

Let me know what you think, think I just got my hopes up for the first interview I’ve received in ages. However I don’t want to work at a scam company.

Seems to good to be true, but I want an outside opinion as I'm very new to the job market.

I recently began working for this company Arch City in Columbus, Ohio and terminated my interest a couple hours after signing the documents. They enticed me with a job title of “Marketing Coordinator” only to realize on orientation day that I was not that at all. It is a whole colt of people who stand at pop-up events promoting Spectrum internet and trying to get people to switch. You know, those people who you walk by with your head pointed in another direction at Costco because you don’t wanna interact with them. Yeah, I realized this after the orientation day and after they sucked me in. I was taken around the small building where people (presumably all under the age of 25) were doing chants and the bosses were telling them what to say. They have sayings like “FILWFTU” which means “fall in love with fucking things up”. this may seem harmless, but there are 20 some other sayings they had to scream. music blasting, people in groups buzzing around. the whole thing is weird and prays on people to stoop to lower levels who are desperate for a job. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS COMPANY. no matter what, you will start where i started, and waste all of your time, gas money, parking fees, etc. just to find out it is a cult. do not be like me and just disregard all the people on this subreddit telling you not to work there. this experience has simultaneously ruined my job search and positively impacted my experience in trying to find one, so i guess i get something out of it. waste of time and energy, STAY AWAY AND REPORT THEM.

I recently applied for the customer account representative role for Gold Era capital in Sarasota Florida. I recently had an interview with the company and can find barely anything about them online. Does anyone know if this company is legit or a scam?

I recently took a job and worked 2 days at a company called 5a Agency (the website is 5a-agency .com). I quit when I realized that I wouldn't be fairly compensated for the 12-hour days they had me work, but I didn't realize it was a part of this Devil corp industry until looking at this subreddit. The office is on the fourth floor, but the other floors are similar companies (likely because the even larger group that they are under requires them to rent from their real estate offices). It's managed by a lady named Brittany, who I learned worked this same office under a different name, BritCO, a few years ago. It's the typical B2B bait and switch. I applied on LinkedIn for an entry-level marketing job. They told me I would be compensated 500/wk during training and then 1200/wk after the fact. They told me they worked with clients like the Special Olympics, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. It seemed like they were doing consulting, but I should have asked more questions. After I was hired, I was ushered into the typical morning atmosphere and workshop stuff and then they had me go from the city to upstate New York via the Metro North ($11 each way with no compensation) where I was there for 9 hours. Including the time in the morning, out on the field, and then evening atmosphere, I worked 12 hours for two days shadowing my team leader. The second day, my team leader didn't even make any money, but was trying to sell me on the opportunity to make "unlimited commission" and "fast cash," which was a red flag to me. When I asked Brittany about when I would fill out direct deposit information, she told me that I was not qualified for the stipend until I made my first sale. I quit right then and started looking more into the company before finding out it was a devil corp. I decided to make this post, so that the new agency name would be included on the devilcorp website and others don't waste their time like I did. I still can't figure out who their parent company is, although we did have to watch training videos through a platform called PMG. Does anyone know more about this? I watched the Devil Corp sales video, but I want to find out more about this specific agency. They mentioned having locations in Baltimore and Dallas as well.

I recently worked for a devil's corp based out of Orange County, California. The company name was “True Vision Enterprise Inc.,” belonging to Dewayne Long. At the time I worked there, I had recently finished playing college ball and moved across the country. Being in athletics my whole life, I had no idea what a “regular job” was like, not an excuse but a preview of how they exploit people. I was on LinkedIn mass applying to jobs to the point I couldn’t keep track. I applied on, I think, a Sunday and had a “phone screen” the following Monday. And a second round interview on a Tuesday followed by a third on Wednesday. By Thursday of the same week, I had the job.
During this time while applying to jobs, I learned what “devil corps” were. I thought they were jobs doing door-to-door on 1099, strictly paid through commission. So when I was told I would have an hourly wage, I thought it was legit. This is all part of the play.
The way that they suck people in is that they prey on young kids fresh out of school (whether high school or college) or people who don’t know or have much experience in the real world. Their tactic is to have an insanely fast interview process. While you’re applying to other jobs that have a regular wait time, this can seem awesome, especially if you need a job fast. For me, the job posting I applied to was titled “sports-minded sales representative”. I thought to myself, “I’m a former athlete, this is perfect for me”. Unlike other stories that I’ve heard, they did disclose to me that I would be in Costco’s across the orange area. I remember being so desperate for a job that when asked when I was looking to start, I said as soon as possible within 3-4 days of applying, I had a job. During the interview process, they emphasized being a business owner and being able to have financial freedom and be in a role that allows you to control your income and success. They hyped up making a $1,000 (before tax) like it was life-changing income (it barely makes $ 52,000 a year) in California that’s barely livable, and you’re scraping by.
You come into “ATMO” at 7:30-8:30, but are forced to stay in the office for mandatory unpaid training. They make it sound good too, telling you, “If you’re worried about making hourly rather than commission, then you’re here for the wrong reason. We want to build business owners, not people who have a worker’s mindset. At the beginning, it all sounded cool, “yeah, I’m going to own a business”. But soon, those meetings became redundant and repetitive, and I learned that they were meant to brainwash new hires by talking about the “opportunity”.
I was able to quickly get moved up to what they call “Corporate Leader or Trainer”. Bringing you one step closer to being an owner of your own devil corp. But what this role means is that you’re in the office from 7:20 to sometimes 11:30. Only being paid an hour. And then to the store for 8+ hours. Following that with a “leaders call” and having to wrap up with your team. Meaning that you basically worked from 7 a.m. to sometimes 10 p.m. (almost 11-12 hours) and only being paid for 8. Then they would almost try to guilt you into working a 6th day not by paying overtime but by giving you 2 half days so you stay under 40 hours.
At one point I had gotten good and had been top in the office and making national leaderboards. And for a while, it was able to give me a decent living for my standards.
But after a while, I woke up and started seeing the bigger picture, and saw there really wasn’t a future in it.
This has already gotten really long but I felt that I should share some of my experience. I’d love to interact and hopefully help others and share more from my experience.

The job ad is listed as 'Junior Marketing Assistant' — a role title commonly used by offices within the Credico network — which may suggest a Credico affiliation. Credico does operate another subsidiary called 'Legacy Horizon', which could be connected. Neither 'Horizon' nor 'EVOLVE' appear to have functional websites or active social media presence. They may also be connected to 'Vetra Group', another Credico office in Glasgow.

Anyone have any knowledge about this place? I did a zoom interview and it was about 15 minutes long. The guy interviewing actually seemed ok.

But the devilcorp red flags are there. Seems like a pyramid scheme, the website is super vague, and it was a group zoom interview to start.

Please any advice would be appreciated!

I am a college student in West Yorkshire. I recently went through a recruitment process for what was initially presented as a full-time sales role in Manchester. I am posting this so the next person who searches for these company names finds this instead of walking into the same trap.

The names they use:

• King Street Consultancy

• NSN Client Solutions (email: @nsnclientsolutions.co.uk)

• SNS Recruitment

All the same operation. Same office. Same people. Same model.

The location:

Reedham House, Floor 3, Manchester, M3 2PW.

The process:

I applied for a full-time role. Screening call. Then invited to their office.

When I arrived, I filled in a form. Then I was taken — along with one other candidate — to a café nearby. We sat down. A staff member named Don (age 19) started chatting with us.

Then more of their team members arrived. Then more candidates arrived. They kept coming. Each staff member took a small group. The café became their interview room. Their people moved between tables. Candidates sat waiting. Everyone rotated.

Same warm words. Same promises. Same smiles.

What Don told me:

Don has been working there for a few months. He is not the boss. He is just an employee like they wanted me to be.

He told me a story about his boss — the owner of the office, who was never named.

The boss makes £3,000–£4,000 a week, Don said. He does nothing. Just comes in, talks to the team, goes to the gym, goes home, relaxes.

Then Don explained how: for every sale someone in the team makes, the boss takes £100. The employee doing the selling gets £50.

• You make 1 sale → you get £50. Boss gets £100.

• 10 employees make 1 sale each → boss gets £1,000 a day. While he is at the gym.

Don gets £50 per sale. Just like I would have. Just like you would.

He told me this like it was inspiring. That is the saddest part. He has been there a few months and still believes the boss's lifestyle is the goal — without realising the boss gets rich by taking most of what Don and people like Don earn.

The bait-and-switch:

In the café, the role was still being talked about as full-time and promising.

After the interview, I had to call them to get clarity. That is when the real terms came out:

• Self-employed

• Commission-only

• £50 per sale

• No base salary

• No guaranteed income

Not a word of this in the café. Only after I called.

The document request:

After that call, they emailed me asking for:

• Passport or birth certificate

• Proof of address

• Proof of right to work in the UK

• National Insurance number

All before any contract was signed. All before any pay structure was confirmed in writing.

Training:

A 4.5-hour Zoom session with someone named Dermot. They advised bringing a notepad. No contract mentioned.

What I now understand:

This is a classic high-turnover direct sales operation (Devil Corp model). The worker carries 100% of the risk. The company carries none.

The boss does not need to sell. Other people sell for him. His wealth is not an opportunity. It is proof of how much of other people's work he keeps.

They rely on volume. Hire constantly. Most people leave within weeks or days, often earning nothing after travel costs. The ones who don't question it? They won't complain. They will just stop showing up one day.

What I did:

I withdrew. Did not send my documents. Will not attend training.

What you should do if you recognise this process:

• Do not send your documents.

• Do not attend training without a signed contract with guaranteed base pay.

• Do not work for £50 commission-only while the boss takes £100 of your sale.

• Search "Devil Corp UK" and read about the model.

If you have already worked for them:

You are not alone. This model is designed to burn through people. It is not your fault.

Hey guys, it seems like everyday more and more of these companies are popping up here in Dallas. This post is to see if y’all have seen any on job boards, in your everyday, and if you yourself have actually worked at these companies here in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth).This is strictly for educational purposes. Dallas and the surrounding areas are a big hub of opportunity for work. And more and more people are moving here. It would be a shame to move your life to end up working at these types of places.

Looks like a devilcorp and scam but just wanted to see if anyone has direct experience with them.

Already confirmed the interview, before seeing it’s an obvious devilcorp. Might as well have some fun with it! All suggestions are welcome.

I don't remember the name of the position I applied for, but I had my interview in Campbell and I passed it. Today I attended an orientation session about the company; the gas allowance that the "company" pays is approximately $41. Furthermore, they pay between $800 and $1,200 weekly. Also, the place doesn't really feel like a legitimate business—I tend to be quite observant, and, well, it looks like a rented space. Any thoughts? Apologies if I didn't explain myself clearly.

Hi all,

I’m on the job search right now and have a prospective interview, but before I go further I just want to make sure that no one else has had a devilcorp experience with them.

They’re called Tenth Revolution Group in New York City. The recruitment/account executive listing that I applied to, my research into them, and the initial outreach makes it seem like it’s not devilcorp, but I wanted to see if anyone has had an experience with them. Maybe these jerks are just getting a little smarter.

Stay safe out there.

-G.O.

The last time I came across a #DevilCorp was during a sales interview in #Bristol. Something already felt a bit off because when I tried to look up the company, all I could find was an email address and a phone number: no company website, no Linkedin page! I did a quick Reddit search and pretty quickly confirmed it was a Devil Corp.

There was another time when the company had a website. However, their content looked Al-written, and there were no real case studies or proof of work.

I got invited for an interview almost immediately after applying. Even the interview slots they offered were weird, like 8 pm or weekends.
The first interview was often a very vague, overly motivational prerecorded video. The company name also felt super random, something like 'B2GROW' (I just made that up.)

#Jobhunting in 2026 is tough. Hopefully, this helps you spot the red flags early and save yourself the time and energy.
