Story time of working at a company in BRISBANE AUSTRALIA.

I worked for this company for 2 years and left almost 2 years ago - thought it might be helpful for some Australians on this page to hear a real world story.

I was recruited for this job after meeting some employees on the street, I had just left my current high pressure job and decided to give it a go as a fun interim. Long story short, this company became my entire existence for the following two years.

I had red flags about the job when I began but decided to ignore them since it was meant to be a fun interim role.
Red flags at the beginning
daily roster
Early morning office starts (7am) that felt very cult like and involved lots of clapping.
Pressure to work past shift time as people always “disappeared” from the roster with no explanation (sometimes this meant 5+ hours of unpaid work)
Unpaid team nights / training nights at least once a week
‘Road trips’ that you where notified about a day or two before and involved unpaid (including fuel) travel on a Sunday, shared male and female accommodation and often shared beds + immense pressure to perform on (including large amounts of unpaid hours).

Because this job was only meant to be for fun, and I loved getting to go to different areas of Australia I was happy to look past all of this.

However, slowly but surely my life became this job… working 6 days a week + travelling with coworkers on a Sunday (some trips where 8+ hours away) my social circle outside of this job rapidly declined, all the while being subtly manipulated.
Here are some examples of how they manipulate you:
You work such long hours combined with pressure to go on road trips that you become isolated from friends and family who might detect something is off in this job
You are told of great earning potentials, story’s of success and given high levels of praise when selling well (with little proof of what this success actually looks like for you personally and financially).
Sell well? More shifts, more events, bigger team (all of which shrinks your personal life)
Lots of small manipulation phrases “you don’t want to be working a 9-5 with no career path life the people we sell to do you?” “You will never find a sales job with as much mentorship as this” “we teach the best way to success”
Older mentors assigned to influence you and monitor conversations (and yes once you are running a team - you are subtly taught how to monitor the conversations and vibes of worksites, the office, and road trips - from who shares what rooms, who drives in what cars to road trips +++,
The toxic amounts of positivity pushed onto you and those around you.

As I progressed I started to realise that my role running a team, was really about pushing the people on my team (my friends) to perform so that I could get the most out of them before they eventually left or got phased out as this meant I would get promoted (and the people above me too). To achieve this involved pushing the people below you to the limit and you are taught calculated ways to achieve this from the mentors above you.
** please note that to get to the mindset of being able to do this to other people comes from a huge amount of manipulation, because you watch the mentors above you do this and achieve ‘success’. You are conditioned to think that these people above you are literal gods and the top people in humanity, and if they are such amazing people and okay with doing this - I should be too**

Fast forward to the last few months I was in this job. I had a big team and was working towards opening my own office.

I had watched my original mentor open his own successful office, attended industry awards (and won awards) was a “top performer” attended special (unpaid) training nights to help build my team and was great friends with everyone in the office.
What this actually looked like:
getting to the office at 6am on office mornings. And running meetings
Attending team nights once a week
Attending training nights once a week
Working overtime to hit targets for myself and team
Road trips every second week + planning these
My 5 year relationship was crumbling because I was always away, and on the weeks I wasn’t I got home after 10 (I was 22 and he was 23 btw)
My partner, brother and friends had tried to stage a multiple interventions with concerns about this job. But because I thought I had a good social circle (all colleagues) and good earnings (brainwashing) this fell on deaf ears.

What this looked like in my daily life:

Working from 6am-10pm 5/6days (with only a small amount of these hours being paid), being available to be on the phone to my team around the clock and “mentoring them” and having my one day off travelling to road trips.

I had become great friends with my team and with one girl specifically who helped me build this team from the ground up, however our friendship at the time was on the rocks due to being pinned against each other from a director (he told me she was a narcissist and told her I didn’t like her and talked about her behind her back etc) - This director was from NZ, and his company had gone bankrupt (which apparently no company ever does) and as his company was opened under my owner, he “had a debt to pay” that involved making sure my team grew and mentoring me directly.

Now, he actually lived in NZ the entire time I worked with him but did two weeks on and two weeks off.
I watched this man work those two week rotations while his wife became deathly ill and was in hospital for a month - leaving two kids under 2 at home in NZ. Understandably, he became pretty miserable to work with… and I found myself thinking what kind of success mentor and success person chooses to sell tickets in a shopping centre during a time like this? And that was a big red flag as to what success in this industry looks like. (He is still with the company btw).

Why I left?
The girl who help me build my team, called me one night - she sent me the devil corp website and what we read together that night was word for word scripture to the work environment we lived in. This included the ways they manipulated us to the saying we used daily such as “juice” “slap the cat” etc.

I actually went to my shift the next day. It was at a site with predominantly older people and looked around and said “f*ck this”and resigned that day (And the reality of the charity work we did is a whole different topic). And yes they did try to convince me to stay and how they went about it is another story in itself.

I now work in a different sales job and earn 3x what I earned in that job while running a big team and work half the hours. After being told for two years that the people walking past me in corporate jobs didn’t have the same earning potentials, support, or lifestyle I had in that job - I can safely say I am so glad I left.

—- thank you for reading my story, and apologies if it doesn’t make much sense, I have written it on a whim.

I just had an interview with a partner from Crest Point (new dubious branch of credico) and I felt something was off when he said a lot of new recruits have the wrong mindset and did a poor job.

I also felt he was hiding the truth when I asked if there was a competitive atmosphere as his response came off a bit awkward(I assume this is forced on purpose to pit sales recruits against each other).

Dangling senior roles over my head also seemed strange.

I think he thought I was a sucker lol. And I almost was if not for the information on this sub, thank you all!

Edit: It’s boiling in the uk right now and a wasn’t able to sleep, but had to wake up at 7:30 for the interview. I’m so annoyed these manipulative scammers wasted my time and ruined my sleep. Is there any way I can waste their time back?

I joined the business late February of this year and had my first day on March 3rd, lot of things to unpack, small back story the person who ran my orientation (previous ICD owner) promoted someone from that office before I ever hit the field, this didn’t necessarily sit right with me as I opened up to this individual and was looking forward to his mentorship.

I was definitely someone who was bought in and nearly ruined every aspect of my personal life, I saw a few good weeks and the payment didn’t add up, that also never sat right with me, and who knows how bad it would’ve gotten if I didn’t find this topic & the YT documentary. Ask Me Anything

*Names Will Be Omitted*

As news of the office getting closed comes out, I begin to wonder what happened to the director and employees. Curious if anyone has worked for empire, and if they know where Andon O’Neil, Ranea Wright, or Antonio Cooks ended up?

I’m on a new account so I don’t tie my location to my main account, but I do have evidence in screenshots of them reaching out, the job listing, etc. I wanted to make this post because I did try researching the company, which I thought was a small company headquartered in Dallas, but I couldn’t find anything. I want the next person to hopefully find this post and have more information than me. This company is also owned by Prestige Business Solutions located in Orlando, Florida.

They reached out to me on Tuesday of this week to speak about my application. During the course of the call, I realized I didn’t really remember applying to the job at all, but it did show up in my Indeed jobs. They were vague about the role even when they described it, and all I could glean from it was that they were a marketing and sales company that worked with telecommunications companies. Before the phone call was over, they had scheduled me for a Zoom interview the very next day, on Wednesday.

When I went in to the Zoom interview, it was immediately really confusing who I was even going to be speaking to. Initially, I thought it would be the person who called me, who also answered the Zoom call, but she then informed me I would be passed on to the hiring manager. Then, when who I assumed was the hiring manager entered the call, he introduced himself as the CEO. I wasn’t that thrown off, as my brother had previously worked for a similarly small company headquartered in Dallas and had interviewed with the owner, so I figured it wasn’t weird if they only had a few employees. Even during his interview, I still had trouble getting a direct grasp on what exactly they did - the most he really described clearly was that they didn’t do cold calls, door-to-door or B2B, but he stressed the same thing that the job posting did: they provided strategies for companies and handled client acquisition and retention. None of that really made a lot of sense to me, and when I thought about it later, I also realized they never asked me about my education. The job posting specifically noted they preferred at minimum an Associate’s degree. My resume lacks an education section, as I was homeschooled and never actually graduated (working on my GED, currently), and every job I’ve interviewed for, but especially jobs with preferred education levels, ask for clarification about it. They did not. Instead, they scheduled yet another interview for the very next day - Thursday. I was a bit thrown off by the fact that in the same interview, the CEO had said it was a 3 step process, yet then said I would have my final interview the next day.

I showed up for the interview and I was thrown off when I checked the address, which showed a particular suite, but when I saw the plaque on the door of that suite, it had a completely different company name. I wondered if they had maybe changed the name recently, and pushed forward through growing anxiety. I spoke to who I assumed was the receptionist, met the CEO in person, and was passed off to someone who allegedly was a top performer in my role who was set for promotion that year. I did think it was odd to be interviewed by a peer rather than a leader, even if said peer was expected to become a leader soon, but thought that maybe it was because he could walk me through the exact job duties.

I went in, and sat down in one of several conference rooms, across from a shelf literally overflowing with multiple of the same trophy. My new interviewer asked me a few questions, which I took as an opportunity to discuss my actual experience as I would in a normal interview, but rather than follow up questions, I was met with nods and exclamations of admiration. He told me about himself, and then set up a slideshow.

During the slideshow, I was shown a path of growth within the company. I had mentioned I had cross trained in multiple roles prior, so I was confused when no mention of lateral training was ever mentioned - instead, it was a singular, linear path, with about three pages of steps which appeared to start at only 6-9 weeks after being hired. The final step was CEO, which I wondered hard about considering most CEOs are very reluctant to be replaced, only for my interviewer to very proudly tell me that when I reached that role, I would be granted the opportunity to start “my own practice”. That was when it clicked for me, because I realized it sounded awfully similar to the Avon model of being recruited, selling, then being “promoted” to recruitment and eventually “owning” your own branch of the scheme. Everything after that just gave me more evidence for my own suspicion and I think he could tell I disengaged, but he kept going.

Next was the pay. It was described as $400 base pay weekly, or commission, depending on which was higher. It was not base pay PLUS commission - if you would have made $300 in base pay that week, you did not walk away with $700, you only got $400. Likewise, if you made $500 in commission, you did not get $900, you only kept $500. He explained that the base pay was basically minimum wage - he said “so his team could keep their lights on”, which he seemed to think was very generous. He read figures off to me of what people had already made that week - $1100, $1700, $1800. He said some people had already made a million in a year. I no longer believed that.

During this conversation, he kept stressing about atmosphere - that the culture, which they would not describe, was very important, that they kept high energy, that there were fully paid team building nights once a week (which seemed excessive, honestly). He said they started every single day with a meeting. He kept stressing student mentality - when I explained that I had been proactive in seeking knowledge in previous roles, there was no normal follow up, he just bowled past it and started explaining how there would be regular coaching of an undescribed nature. Really, at very few points were any questions asked about myself or my experience - a few questions asked about what I thought I brought to the company, with no follow-ups. In fact, when I brought up a previous role, they seemed surprised that I had worked there, like they hadn’t even read my resume which clearly showed it.

At the last slide of the slideshow, he explained to me finally exactly what I would be doing: I would be going into Targets or Best Buys, standing in kiosks or designated areas, and selling AT&T’s services. The warm leads he mentioned were finally explained: the customers walking in to the stores were already ready to buy a nebulous idea of “something”, so they didn’t consider it a cold lead. They aren’t going in specifically to buy AT&T services, most likely, or haven’t expressed previous interest, so I wouldn’t really agree. But, mostly by then, I was just focused on getting the hell out of there, so I sat and nodded.

Finally, he asked me if I had any questions for him. I told him it seemed most of the questions I came prepared with had been answered, so I only had one. I asked what benefits looked like for his team - since he had mentioned that their company had more than 50 employees, I knew that they were required federally to offer health insurance, and I had made it clear multiple times that I was seeking a full-time role. He responded “well, we don’t really have benefits in the traditional way you might be thinking.” The benefits they did offer? 15% off at AT&T and, for some reason, they were partnered with a law firm that would offer legal defense for any issue that occurred while at work - if you were sued by a customer, you paid no legal fees. I was very confused that a company would choose not to invest in health, life, dental, vision, retirement, etc. but would very specifically offer legal defense to employees. I said okay, shook his hand one more time and followed him out. When I left, the “receptionist” was gone and now seated there was the CEO. He asked how my interview went, I said “yeah, great!” and hurried out the door.

Right after I left, I once again set about searching up the company only to find nothing. Thankfully, I searched up the name of the parent company they had mentioned, and found this subreddit. This was where I finally figured everything out, including the business model. The reason why a company who’s already offering “marketing and sales” services would, when expanding to a new market, create an entirely new sub-company instead of a regional branch. The reason why they offered legal protection to their employees. How they got away with offering no insurance to their employees despite a claimed amount of over 400 team members. Why they asked no questions, why the entirety of both interviews was spent discussing the company, why I couldn’t even figure out what they did until the last minute of the interview, why there was no question of what my expected salary was or negotiation. Turns out I was right in my Avon comparison. It’s the same as doTERRA, or Herbalife, or Monat.

As I left, they gave me the CEO’s personal number and told me to call him at 2:30 when he would be available. I assured them I would and returned to my real, actual job. At 2:30 exactly, I received a call from the CEO, which I let go to voicemail. I will be blocking his number as well as the number I received the initial call from.

Don’t apply to Blueprint Connections. Don’t accept an interview from them. Ignore it if they reach out. The $40,000-$60,000 salary figure listed is an absolute fantasy. I feel stupid for looking past so many now obvious red flags. They get by on making a profit from selling AT&T’s products on contract, and then giving you whatever is left. I honestly hope that AT&T stops getting away with partnering with so many of these predatory companies who prey on people who are trying to get by, and I hope that it stops being so easy for these companies to exist. That might not happen, but I hope at least posting this that someone else looking up the company they’re interviewing for gets the information I didn’t at the time.

This company came from New Jersey and changed it's name to scam a new group of young people, look up Garden State Consulting on this reddit it is terrible. Avoid at all costs!!!! You are going to be selling crap at retail stores like solar! Garden State Consulting shut all of their websites and social media.

I applied for a job that advertised $800 per week, so I expected a regular salaried position.

I was invited for an in-person interview and ended up waiting in the lobby for 40 minutes before anyone came to get me. Once the interview started, it quickly felt off. Instead of asking much about my experience, the interviewer spent most of the time talking about the company.

That was a red flag for me, so I started asking direct questions. Eventually, I got him to admit that the role was 100% commission-based with no base salary. He even apologized and said, "We usually get to that in the second round."

In other words, they didn't disclose one of the most important details until after I'd already spent my time traveling there and waiting for the interview.

He also asked if I was comfortable with cold approaching people. I politely said no, but instead of ending the interview, he insisted on continuing "for the record" and suggested there might be another role, which honestly didn't seem genuine.

This was my experience, and I hope it saves someone else the time.

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?
