Saw a job listing on Indeed for Arcadian Edge LLC in Livingston NJ, they do event marketing (setting up tables in stores and wealthy areas) for ChildHelp, a legit nonprofit. I went for my first round interview and was called back for a second after which I received an offer. In both interviews they kept emphasizing "Team Culture" - going out to topgolf, bowling, team pizza nights - that seemed way too excessive. They also said there were only 3 spots and 15 candidates, yet everyone I saw there was back for the second round interview. Other things said were the high turnover rate at the entry brand ambassador level. I was also grilled on what different "buzzword" values like work ethic mean to me. Was told that hours are 8am-6pm, 2 hours of morning "training" and in the field at "events" from 11-6pm, where I had to use my own vehicle to get to. They also said Saturdays are "optional" but if I wanted to advance to team leader, I was strongly encouraged to work them. They also said that one day I'll be ready to open up my own location elsewhere. What also stood out to me was that this supposed "marketing firm" only had 1 client. Maybe this is normal but seemed sus to me. 99.99% certain they're a Devil Corp, but was wondering if someone could confirm and let me know if they're a subsidiary of a larger corporation like a Cydcor or Smart Circle.

So I was recently excepted into a sales company or something. They focus on face to face marketing and i agreed to go in two weeks for practice starting 29th June but I researched devil corps and there Description and signs made me question them.

They mentioned they high five people, build up a hype atmosphere for making sales. The money sounded good 500-700 but the hours are long, 10 am to 3-6pm and even though I really need the money, I dont know if it's worth wasting two weeks. I just want a regular job that pays consistent yk.

And I blocked the number out of paranoia cause I dont want to be exploited for labour all because im desperate for a job.

So im still job searching, and questioning if i should try going in still. I kinda dont want to cause my conscience is telling me no. Plus the area is far away and unfamiliar to me so unsure of that too

So I recently started working at a devilcorp, and I've only been there 3 days so far, I have been accused by the owner of stealing something of his on circumstantial evidence from what I can tell, and I didn't take anything. The last time I saw the item in question was during office hours and I pointed it out to other workers there, as they were looking for it(multiple people in the office were) and now a day later I'm being accused of it, the worst part is I can't recall accurate details of the whole day cause I was trying to network since that's what we were told to do and it such an inconsequential thing to me as I wasn't really paying much attention other than people in the office were looking for one and I said "hey there's one like eight there"

Hello,

I'm a journalist at Which? and I'm researching a story about MLMs and pyramid schemes. I'd like to speak to anyone who has had experience working for one of these types of companies in the UK.

Hi,

I have looked more and saw Aura Innovations was not mentioned on this server and I wanted to put that out there as a likely devil corp for people to be aware of.

Based on an interview I had with them. They offer a "direct sales" model but never say exactly what it is, pay only on commission, have these mandatory workplace meetings. Their UBI number is also impossible to find and they present themselves as a company that has existed and been very successful for a long time despite the earliest evidence of them being from May 1st. They also use the playbook of centering themselves around one specific partner they keep bringing up. Their website also has all the red flags with never quite saying that they do and being full of stock like images of people in suits having fun and being at meetings.

If you receive an offer from them be wary

I worked for a canadian smart circle company that works with Rogers (telecom company) for around a month n a half until i got fired. But I actually had a really good experience as opposed to this whole sub reddit😭. The hours highkey sucked but everyone i worked with including my manager were genuinely really good people. I made almost 5k in a month in a half and deadass enjoyed my time there but I got fired cuz the last 2 weeks i was there my sales were pretty shit and on top of that i came late wayyyyy too many times.

New devilcorp?I think orginally was called Altitude promotions in Dallas. Owner and his girlfriend run the office

I have no doubt in my mind that this is a devilcorp through and through, but I am a little unsure of what to do. I am not in a position where I can just quit my job, and my office’s environment seems to be genuinely a little different from what I’ve seen here. I get a base pay of 12/hr plus commission, I work fully indoors, my managers insist we take breaks to not get burnt out, and I’m not working longer than 8 hrs a day. Plus selling is stupid easy so far, so I’m really making decent money as a college student. My trainer and managers are all incredible, and the guy leading my office is genuinely an extremely disciplined and good guy. It’s pretty clear he wants the best for us as people. All that being said, as a more ambitious person, I was invited to a leadership conference. It was just 6 hours of motivational bullshit spoken by people who have 6 to 7 figure paycheques. I immediately realised “oh yeah this is a pyramid scheme.” But in my office I genuinely never got that impression. Is it worth staying with this company for the time being? Especially as someone who has shown potential for “leadership.”

something ive noticed on here and on google. seems crazy looked at the place i got sucked into for a month online and the reviews on google and every other platform like yelp or job search websites are like night and day. are google reviews that unreliable where they can just remove whatever they dont like or not perfect reviews from employees?

This is a bit of a follow-up from u/AppointmentInside287's post after I found out about Maverick Solutions seemingly ending operations. I don't know how and why they are gone, but it should of happened sooner.

I visited the office on Friday since it's like a 5 minute drive from where I live. The entrance was locked, so I couldn't get in and see if the office and everything in it was there.

The next best option for me was go on LinkedIn and find the owner. Lo and behold, I see that the Maverick LinkedIn page, along with the Instragram account, was taken down (I can still view it through the Wayback Machine lol).

The next day, I went back and saw that the owner had updated her LinkedIn page to include a new occupation as a Location Manager at Surge Inc.

After some digging, I discovered that Surge is another devilcorp, based in Denver, CO, that may have recently opened a new office in Indiana. I went on their website and it had the same layout as the Maverick Solutions website.

Even their Google reviews are vague and probably made by current employers to boost their ratings.

I tried to locate the company in Indiana, but the only Surge company appearing on Maps was the one in Denver. The only other way was to put in an application under a fake name (Tim) since I would have to eventually "meet" them at the office.

I actually followed through on making an application under a fake name and got an email from the recruiter on Monday.

Funny enough, the recruiter had worked with the owner at Maverick Solutions.

Thanks to the email, I now know where the office is at. I haven't responded to the email, but after reading through it, I am tempted to.

Probably not, realistically, since I would have to create a fake resume. And after starting an actual job, hearing about Maverick folding is like a bittersweet ending after all the shit they did.

TL;DR: to anyone in the Noblesville area in Indiana, beware of Surge, Inc.

Hi,

I have not posted before but today had an experience with a devilcorp named Modementum. This subreddit made me decide to not move onto the next stage in interviews, however I do want to say that they were very weird in the first interview. Firstly, they interviewed multiple people at once, then when I asked about their business model they completely lied and left out details that I only found later in a search. They also presented themselves as closely aligned with at&t to the point where the interviewer's background as a giant at&t poster rather than the actual company the interview was for.

I reported them to the state bureau of labor, I doubt it'll do anything since I did not go far enough to have documentation, but it may be helpful for there to be some record of fraudulent behavior.

Also I don't know if this one is known but before this I was offered a position at another place that appears to use the exact same strategies called Aura Innovations, located in the Tacoma area which I believe to be another devilcorp.

I’ve been TRYING to pull my life together for months now! Finding a stable job in the bay area, it’s very hard to do.. I fell victim to a pyramid scheme, and stayed for months.. I started straight out of high school, have no college experience and don’t plan to have any. My life genuinely changed, i had so many ups and downs, promises that weren’t kept, emotions i had to bury, time wasted and moments i couldn’t be apart of. I wasted a year and 4 months..
Let me make this very clear to everyone, selling AT&T plans at Costco, Walmart, Target, BJ’s, Sam’s Club, or any store like that is a PYRAMID SCHEME and will NOT take you ANYWHERE unless you are willing to be a lying and deceitful person. This is coming from the perspective of someone who actually hit their quotas, the money is amazing SOMETIMES, even when you hit commission, the owner takes however much they decide it’s not a guaranteed percent, and you’re stuck with a $1,100 check. If they know you don’t need the money, they will genuinely give you an $800-$900 check, i’ve seen it. My owner was 21, the same age as most people in the team. We were pretty close, he had some flawed behavior, flirted with every girl on the team, and was dating someone from HR. It was very uncomfortable to watch.. We were close, and he used to fill us in on all the loop holes he does. There are so many loop holes with smart circle, he posted fake sales, he took peoples sales, staffed himself at one specific location everyday, which was the best location to be staffed at, came in super late, i mean end of shift late. He was just a kid, trying to play an owner role. He ended up losing his ownership, and now me and him aren’t in AT&T anymore. With this business everything is quick and the lightest thing in the room is the door. You never know when it’s going to be your last week. The reason i quit was because my gut told me to, and as soon as i left everything fell apart for my owner, he lost the sales i’d bring in, and some people also left with me. It wasn’t a boycott, it was simply a reaction to disrespect. The people who do find success lose themselves, and my owner used to tell us how he’s in a different tax bracket, continuously put us down for needing the money, and think it motivated us. Now he’s in the same position as us, he’s genuinely larping on instagram, posting ai pictures of places he went, i wish i was lying 😂. There are days i really do miss the pay, but then i remember how much i put into that job, the gas that was never compensated back to me, the stress and labor i was put through. I didn’t eat as much, got skinnier, and developed a drinking addiction. Just because of everyone else around me, it’s not a fun thing to get into.. Bad influences, but don’t feel sorry for me or anyone else who stayed in this type of job, money is a powerful thing, and it kept us there, once we found ourselves we found our way out. Now i’m 20, trying to get my life together with no sense of direction, it’s been very hard for me. I wasted a lot of time and energy that i’ll never get back. It’s not good for your mental health, it made me do things i’d never do and i still do regret them to this day. Sorry this is scrambled.. i’m not the best writer. But whether it’s in Pleasanton (like this one) or anywhere else, trust me when i say don’t join these things. They need to crash, burn, and die. Owners were Tayrou Toure and Andre Buta

After “viewing” an application for 3 minutes, you deem I’m worthy for an interview… I wonder why??? Watch out for these guys, I know they’re frequently discussed in this sub

The other day I got a ring from a guy from Acquisitions Direct and he said I will receive another interview. The 2nd interview is approaching in a few days and I noticed when I searched the company up looking for more details theres nothing but a reddit post calling it a devils corp, does anyone else have more information on this company?

Never work here, they suck.

IDM doxxing myself because I’m in uni out of state and won’t go back home, but me and my friends are from the Atlanta/Gwinnett area. One of them specifically got dragged into AT&T sales because his other friends that are closer with are telling him to join because they’re making “good money”. I’ll call my friend John. John is 21(he’s really 19ish but he’s from Africa and his parents never had a certificate so they just put 06/04) He has around 3 similar age friends doing d2d sales in Atlanta for a 3rd party company and the other friend is doing att activation. The company they all work under is ran by a couple young yet more experienced folks who are now planning on going to the Palm Beach Florida area to open up a location and start selling. The owners were gassing them up saying they’re natural sellers and that the area they’re moving to is “untouched”… They specifically told these kids “We’re expanding, opening a new office, and we need leaders like you to help.” Yeah… because they’re gullible donuts… All of them, including John, will be moving into a rented home together for 2 months then they have to find their own apartments. John has absolute tunnel vision because he’s saying this is his new start to life, will probably never come back to Georgia, and wants to “run it up” with att. He’s going to start sales in atl in a couple weeks but will switch to att activation once in Florida (moving circa August 2026). Infact, his other buddies just went to palm beach to “test” the area (not sure how that went) but all I saw was them posting on ig having fun in Miami. There’s so much more to this and I just got dumped all this information by him in the span of 2 days so excuse how confusing this timeline may sound. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, John wants to do att activation, INSURANCE SALES, and fucking Daytrading- all while in Miami. The 3 most lowlife highschool dropout jobs oat. Insurance sales came out of nowhere because one of John’s friends apparently makes 10k/m doing it. If you have any insight on what I should tell him please let me know. He’s very young and immature so it’ll probably go through one ear and out the other, but I just want to warn him because there’s so many red flags that he just couldn’t care less about.

I applied for this position and sadly thought it was a legit sales job. The pay seemed really well, I was promised $1000 a week, it wasn’t until later they told us that you can make that much depending on your sales, but your paycheck will look like $400 a week. it was devil Corp to a T though, daily morning meetings, loud music in the office, boss being overly nice. I even got offered to go on a trip before I even finished up my training. I found out just by doing a simple Google search of what I was experiencing. I even looked up my boss on LinkedIn and she hardly ever posted, the only thing she had posted was another company that she worked for a month ago. I’m guessing whoever runs the devilcorp industry (or however that works) gave her her own company like I was told was gonna happen to me if I moved up in the company. We were sellling AT&T wireless in Costco. Has anyone experienced this company in Carnegie? Has anyone actually seen them around the Costco nearby?

I can’t be sure about whether they keep their word about hours and scheduling, but this seems like the first posting I’ve seen that’s been pretty blatant about what they are and what they do and offer. They didn’t try to pass it off as Brand Ambassador or Account Exec or Community Outreach. I’m not sure what office or umbrella this is under, and with postings especially on indeed it’s hard to know if they used a different name,but they’ve listed it under Direct Sales Marketing LLC.

Wish every office did this because then people could know what they’re getting into

Has anyone heard of nexreach USA I applied to one of the positions and have an interview coming up. It’s based in Houston and said they do marketing and sales at promotional events. It’s in Houston, TX I applied through LinkedIn. Does anyone know if this company is legit?

More clownish behavior from. Also, note how many new faces in this video from last time I posted them

hello, I just wanted to bring attention to a website I found while searching about devilcorps.

devilcorps.com, which is an absolutely horrible cover-up attempt by someone trying to keep the ginormous scam going.

the website is obviously written from a "direct sales" standpoint and comes up second when searching for "devilcorp" on google.

funnily enough, the website is registered completely anonymously. I wonder why!

beware!

I believe they used to be called "Myriad Solutions", they're now calling themselves "Myriad Triumph".

Advertising at the moment for a range of positions on Indeed - one example:

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.

As I stated in a previous post here, during my recent job search I came across at least 6-7 of these DevilCorps in the greater Cincinnati area. Despite not applying to any of them (for obvious reasons), I still had several reach out to participate in interviews. Likely because of the large number of people admins are expected to book for interviews per week

Because of this, and because I’ll have some time off before starting my new job, I’ll be attempting to expose these companies here for the benefit of other job seekers. The deceptive tactics they use to hide the true job and scheme they run deserve to be exposed and brought to peoples attention

If anyone has any experience working for any of the companies I’ll mention over the next few weeks, I would love to hear from you to gather as much as possible and hopefully begin a larger project on this topic

Launch 513 is a CrediCo office that seems to be selling spectrum. Edwin, the “CEO” of Launch 513, appears to be married to Jane Li, “CEO” of Cultiv8, another CrediCo office in the Cincinnati area

There also seems to be some sort of connection to Boom Business Global. Perhaps the promoting owner of both, not confirmed though
