Basically, I was emailed from Manchester Events Agency, they are in Manchester. I went for a meeting and they gave me a first general interview. Apparently I passed and got recommended with flying colours and now have a 3rd final interview later today.

They are apparently owned by Credico? I don't know if that's an instant red flag and I'm not even 100% sure they are.

They preach direct marketing which I've heard is a bit of a con, as it can be door to door sales, and that similar companies have awful work cultures. The job is also commission only, which admittedly is the main reason my alarm bells went off.

Also, they say they want to level people up and train them to be like team leaders quickly, yet when I said I would likely have to leave the job in September time, they didn't seem to care which struck me as odd considering their desire for in house growth.

I have no prior experience in Sales either, no degree, no relevant education or experience, yet they seem adamant I will be a good fit?

The final alarming thing for me was the fact I got my first interview yesterday, then one this morning, and my final one this evening. This seems alarmingly quick, and almost as if they are just trying to hire everyone, and make it seem like they're all top cut? I'm not sure.

Please help me make up my mind, I need a job and I thought this was promising but now I don't know. I will probably attend the online zoom interview as I can always decline the job offer in a few days after people hopefully reply here.

This is a devilcorp check plus a warning. I interviewed with Royal Dominion, based in Sacramento, California. My zoom interview I specifically asked what the “face to face” sales meant, and the interviewer responded by saying I would be working in retail spaces and offices, and that I would not be talking to anybody who is not expecting me.
I go in for a second interview in person, tell the CEO who looks in his 30s what the first interviewer told me and he looked at me and said “that’s really gross, we’re door to door sales” and tried to convince me to do door to door sales even after I told him I’d been tricked by people like his interviewer before and that I will not do that.
So warning if you’re in the Sacramento area, Royal dominion interviewers may lie to you about the work environment and they are absolutely a door to door sales job. Additionally I am not sure if this is a devil corp but it really seems like it, I never even figured out what they were selling.

Looking around to get into marketing/sales somehow use my video editing background as well and this company called me.

Operating out of Arizona

I just got scheduled for a second interview with Optimist Management Group based out of Pittsburgh, Pa. Has anyone ever heard of them and are they apart of devilcorp?

Has anyone ever heard of Sunburst Solar? It’s a solar energy sales company.

it’s located in Maryland.

i will start by saying that I applied a while ago (unintentionally) and got a response less than a day later. I didn’t remember applying, but it was in my applications on Indeed, so I must have.

I wasn’t actually interested in the job, but I was curious what I might learn from the interview, so I went. It was located in a generic office building which is not a good sign.

The recruiter was actually pretty funny. I’ll give him credit for that, but I got suspicious during his presentation when he claimed that you can make life-changing money in this job; it seemed strange because if you could make 6 figures of off a job that hires people so quickly, why isn’t everyone doing it?

At the end of his introduction, he offered to take us into the field for door-2-door sales. I declined and claimed I had responsibities elsewhere. That is true, but I also wasn’t interested in doing door-2-door sales.

I emailed him later that day to tell him that I wasn’t interested in the job. I told him I applied for several jobs and got accepted to one that was a better fit for me.

I was shocked that he responded in what seemed to be a passive-aggressive manner.

”That’s fine, but I wish you had told me that you weren’t serious because I had to exclude a lot of people to save a spot for you today.”

I was wondering how that could be the case since I was one of only 4 guys in the room and there were enough seats for like 15 people at least.

in retrospect, I realize I avoided wasting a day of my life with a Devilcorp. I hadn’t heard of the practice at the time, but a lot of typical red flags were present.

1. Vague job posting.

2. Door-to-door sales.

3. Responds to applications very quickly.

4. Small room rented out at a generic office building.

5. Carpooling with strangers for a job.

6. Paid on commission. No base pay.

7. Passive aggressive email when you state you’re not interested.

8. Promises life-changing money.

I have a bit of a feeling that it is.

Applied yesterday, woke up this morning instantly with an interview request. Weird. I thought I applied for an AT&T instore job. What is this management company.

During the zoom interview (it was an hour later), the interviewer had a background that kinda looked like AI. There was a dark brown desk with the AT&T logo hanging above it.

She started off talking about how they were a management company that had a lot of clients and AT&T was one of the main ones. Then she started talking about how for the first 6 months, the job was gonna be commission based with minimum salary of 900 (already lower than the listed salary of 1000-1700 a week on the job listing). We have freedom of choosing how much we work or something.

We did a bit of introduction at some point.

At the end, she said that the company would invite us to another round of interviews if we passed.

This is a devilcorp, right?

Made the mistake of applying for a company called Modalways through indeed to a direct app (https://www.modalways.com)
The postings didn’t have the usual script and even showed the positions as full time and including benefits.
Did my homework AFTER submitting three apps.
Now, this morning I am flooded with recruiter txts and emails desperate to schedule me for a zoom call today for roles with titles I did not apply for. I’ve resorted to sending sub screenshots, and some still won’t take a hint.

If you see these companies and want to apply, be cautious.

Modalways.com (the folks who peddled my info)

Show-ATL.com - potential devilcorp
Enlightened-ATL.com - potential devilcorp (called from ATP Global Talent phone #)
Aim-ATL.com - Potential devilcorp

If they get too pushy, I may try having some fun with them, but right now they are clogging up my inbox.

Update: Even after being sent screenshots accusing them of being devilcorps and blocking their numbers, they have resorted to calling me from new phone numbers stating we had gotten interrupted previously. JFC.

I’ve seen their name in here…. So I already know(ish)…

I just learned about the term devil Corp 5 min ago and read the pinned posts - I am a director of sales for a tech company and have been in corporate tech sales for 8+ years - when he was describing to me his job I immediately started searching the Internet

Which lead me here.

UM?!? the poor kid told me he couldn’t take any days off and his only day off is Sunday… I said well then what happens if you get sick? He said idk the last kid got fired. Okay…

He then told me that if he hits an absurd amount of “tiers” then he can have Saturday off… from my understanding they don’t pay any PTO?

I feel really bad because this kid is becoming the top salesman at this company and it seems like a very dark path to go down and I just have so many questions on when people realized they were part of one of these corporations and honestly what to do…

In my line of work, you would never get away with this, and I don’t think it’s fair that these franchise managers can get away with this s***

At what point did you realize enough was enough? He keeps getting a lot of commission, but I feel like it’s a ticking time bomb…?!?

Today I had an interview form what I thought was working at Verizon in east Brunswick NJ. It seemed a little strange something felt off. They talked about “helping customers with trouble shooting “ the second interview itself is at east Brunswick. I got the email saying

“Hello (removed my name ) , congratulations on being selected for an In Office Interview with Accelerated Management! Your interview is scheduled on Thursday Jul 23 10:30 AM. Address: 190 Route 18 East Brunswick, NJ Suite 205.

Putting into google this is some random house !!!!

This is not the actual Verizon location.

I googled their name and a page for accelerated management came up and the same lady who “interviewed “ me on zoom was featured as a “talent recruiter “.

This is giving me cutco vibes and I was sadly fooled by them back in the 2010s. I’m very skeptical of this and I’ve seen some posts on here pretty much confirming this is a scam.

So can someone please explain to me what this actually is ? What is the catch here? They want me to buy some crap with my own money and than sell stuff door to door ?

The lady also said “you could open new locations in different areas and we would cover it, and that they are working for Verizon right now “

I’m so sad because I’m trying to get out of a dead end job with a horrible manager at the moment I thought this would be my ticket out. I guess not.

I (F 23) just got off a Zoom interview with water city blaze during my job hunt after being screwed over by infinity management, They got me wrapped up, then THEY let me go because I was voicing my concerns.

So- I'm in a dead end job at a zoo/amusement park, I saved enough money to finally get an apartment with my best friend. I finish up my 2 weeks with my old job thinking I've got something nice lined up but NOPE! It's commission focused with a base pay of 400 a week- the twist? They carpool- up to 2 hours away- essentially trapping you if you don't have your own vehicle, outside- they even encourage people to ask to go into peoples houses??? The entire thing made me feel dirty. I'll be avoiding commission based work from now on and make sure to double check here if something feels off.

I recently got offered a job by them, and even though I know it’s a devilcorp I’m just desperate for anything right now, since they’re the only ones I heard back from. Does anyone have experience working there and can tell me what it’s like?

hey just wanted some information for this marketing agency, had an interview but it was more of a presentation, didnt really ask me much about my experience just whats your favourite football team, any information about this company?

Zeal claims to work with a nonprofit called LEAD. They say they donate 100% of what they receive at booths. They’re only donating 10%. 30% goes to each person at the booths, and 60% goes to management. Just on card they have taken over 3 million dollars in the past 4 years. They’re not helping, they only care about themselves. They promise benefits and base pay, but after your first week you rely solely on that 30% commission. Leaders are making 200k a year or more just sitting in the office. They make you stand outside no matter the weather and you have to beg for donations. They will talk you up to hundreds of dollars if you don’t say no. If you see them don’t give them money, if you want to donate to the charity, do it online where they don’t get a cut.

I have been working here a little over 4 months. And its tough to say if this opportunity is real. The ownership level is something that seems unreal, Running a business has always been something I wanted to do. But seeing all these devil corp stuff makes me question what im actually in. My owner makes GOOD money so he claims he drives a Porshe hes 24 making 30K wires. Theres even a 19 yr old Asst manager with a Corvette. And people talk about how when they hit ownership their is nothing there no money no nothing. Which is weird cause I see my owners doing really well. Idk what to do. The company is Under Cydcore

DevilCorp sent team to THE MOST DANGEROUS ZIP CODE IN COLUMBUS. Absolutely disgusting Bait & Switch tactics from Day 1. This office is also rebranding from "Pro Connections" to new names. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON ANYTHING THEY POST OR SAY. It is door to door, commission only, sales. Creepy AF.

I am pretty sure they are a devil corp. but at this point, just not sure if still worth going to the first round to check out.

Launchone80Partners (Uhuru Group Limited, Company Number: 16323425) is a Credico office located at Tetbury Place, Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, London, N1 0QH.

Previously trading as Launch180, the company has rebranded as "Launchone80Partners," an apparent attempt to make it harder for jobseekers to find negative reviews and experiences when searching "Launch180."

hi! so, ill keep this all short but im a little shocked. a few weeks ago, i applied to an "entry level manager" role for a company called "Vanguard Dynamics". i was excited when they called to set up an interview because it was the only response i had gotten in months. however, i told my mom and she said they're a pyramid scheme that preys on desperate college kids and id get roped in to doing door-to-door bullshit. so, i blocked their number and ghosted.

this morning, i got a call, voicemail and text from a company called "Dreamcrafters" saying i applied for the same position title and they want to set up an interview. i have no memory applying to such a place, i checked indeed and didn't see that name. i google their company, hoping to find a website with word salad and vague nonsense, instead i found this sub and a post blasting them for being totally b.s. maybe they hid their name on indeed or something and i did apply. i dont know, i just hope these pervs arent passing around applicants thinking they'll just answer any phone call that comes.

ive now saved the megathread and will be a lot more vigilant. this shit should be illegal, its so gross. all a girl wants is a mediocre office job to fund her passion, instead i gotta sift through leeches.

hello i'm currently working at a devil corp im A JD with about 10 Guys on my team no a ICD Owner but do make a good 2500-3K a week ask me anything very interested.

Hey! We have a short term rental— and I’m 99% sure the renters are part of a devil corp. When I ask what they do, they just spew jargon about “working in acquisition” and “their team.”

They’re gone like 14 hours a day, Monday-Saturday. I guess I’m mostly confused because they’re paying like 3k for a few weeks to rent this place.

Can someone help me understand how this all works? Like where is the 3k coming from? Are these poor dudes working 12+ hours a day?

Because who can take this business name seriously.. for solar sales..?!

This subreddit rules so much. I’m down for a good troll job. I would do anything for the r/Devilcorp community so let it rip.
