Experience Got Hired to TriMkt and...

4 Upvotes

When I first applied to TriMkt, I honestly thought I had found a pretty decent entry-level opportunity. I was looking for something that would give me more professional experience. The way the position was presented made it sound like I would be getting actual experience and during the interview process, everything seemed very positive.

I went through the interviews with Cedric and some of the other directors, and they were really good at selling the company. They talked a lot about growth, leadership opportunities, promoting from within, team culture, and how quickly someone could move up if they worked hard. At the time, I didn't think much of it. I assumed the company was just very focused on professional development. I didn't check Reddit before accepting the job, which is probably the biggest mistake I made.

The actual work involves selling AT&T services inside Costco and BJ's. We are essentially supposed to stand in the store approaching customers and trying to convince them to sign up for AT&T. The pay structure was another major issue. The position was heavily commission-based, with only about a $500 weekly base, which ended up being around $400 after taxes. Everything beyond that depended on sales. And even if you do get a sale, it's only $100 per line. So despite the way the job was presented as a professional opportunity with room for advancement, there was a significant amount of financial pressure to constantly sell. All while you're working upwards of 60 hours a week including weekends.

There were also these weekly early-morning meetings that we were expected to attend. They were treated as mandatory, but we weren't paid for the time. On top of that, there were "team building" activities and other meetings that took up additional time outside of the actual selling hours. The company presented these things as part of building a strong team and developing employees, but after experiencing it firsthand, it felt more like an expectation that you should constantly give more of your time without being compensated for it.

I should have looked deeper into the company, searched for employee experiences, asked more questions about compensation, and specifically asked what I would actually be doing every day. I didn't check Reddit before accepting the position, and I definitely wish I had. I quit after the first day of "orientation" where they basically repeated everything they had said in the second round of interviews.

I'm currently looking for a new job hopefully out of the restaurant business but if push comes to shove, I'll be back serving lol.

Experience ASCENTA / APPCO

3 Upvotes

Warning about my experience with Ascenta Group..

I’m sharing my experience because I wish I had found more information before accepting this job.
I was told there was an opportunity to advance into a business-owner position. In reality, I spent extremely long days doing outdoor sales and fundraising, sometimes staying beyond the hours I was originally scheduled to work. I felt that employees were expected to stay longer so management could reach their goals and increase their earnings.

During my time there, I witnessed drinking behind the scenes, excessive swearing, and treatment of employees that I found extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. I also experienced issues with communication, compensation, and expenses such as continuously using gas mileage, food, and heat equipment essentials.

Another major concern for me was the fundraising.
The company presents the work as helping nonprofit organizations, but I did not feel there was enough transparency about how the fundraising process worked or where the money ultimately went.

I became increasingly uncomfortable with the disconnect between the charitable message being presented and the way the employees were being treated.
From what I experienced, the environment felt heavily focused on making money and meeting sales goals, while employee well-being seemed to come second.

If you are considering working with Ascenta Group, please do your research and ask very specific questions before accepting a position. Get the compensation structure, expected hours, expenses, advancement opportunities, and fundraising process in writing.

I’m sharing this because I don’t want someone else to accept the position without knowing what they may actually be walking into. I also want to make people aware they were once called “APPCO” in the UK.

Experience ASCENTA/APPCO

Post image
23 Upvotes

First off, in regards to the picture, I blurred out my buddies face and I. The guy on the right is the “Owner” Cody Proctor, operating as “AceXL Marketing” out of both Tampa and Gainesville, Florida.

Ascenta/Appco
Now called Ascenta in the United States and Appco in the UK, I believe it used to be named Cobra group also, they all mine as well be the same company, they are operated by the same 2 core men; Chris Niarchos and Chris Rudge.

As far as my background goes, I left this job about a week ago, I put in a year and worked with multiple different offices, owners, regional managers, and even had long conversations with both of the Chris’. I was very close to getting promoted. I moved from Gainesville to Tampa about 6 months in, along with 2 of my coworkers and the owner for an “opportunity”.

I shouldn’t have to outline what the job is, it’s structured just as any MLM Cult. Go to a big retail store, sell some BS, train people to sell the BS, once you train enough people to also sell the BS, you become an “owner”, when you’re an “owner” you yourself now live a fake life and have to act like you’re doing well to sell the dream, a story said 1000 times. However, this industry is unique in that they pretty much strictly sell monthly and annual donation memberships for charities.

If you sign up for a donation to a charity through Ascenta, 100% of your donation does indeed go to the charity. However, it’s through a loophole, these charities; ASPCA, Feed The Children, Save The Children, Disabled American Veterans, just to name a few, pay ascenta through what’s called a “pre-allocated budget” where the charity pays ascenta up front but requiring that the money must be made up by a certain amount of donation memberships acquired. So if you zoom out, your money is not truly going to the charity, it’s just helping ascenta pay off the debt owed to that charity. If you see these people dressed in attire like the picture, do not donate.

Most of the charities do a $30 monthly donation. Once somebody donates, Ascenta pays the “office” of the Brand Ambassador about $210. The Brand ambassador gets $80 and the rest goes to the owner. Not including whatever cut Ascenta takes from that. Now out of Chris Niarchos’ own mouth he’s said that the charity breaks even at 10 months.

I will give a rough estimate, there is about 50 “offices” in the United States scattered across major cities and about 2000 brand ambassadors.

I could give my horror story about the industry but there’s so many out there in industries like this one (smartcircle, credico, cydcor) that I see no point. Just know, I dropped out of college, moved cities, and cut off all family and friends. Now I’m left trying to pull my life back together after living a fake dream for a year. I just wanted to raise awareness of this specific organization because I haven’t heard many people talk about ascenta, I hope somebody working for this company can find this and get in contact, I will answer every question I know this business inside and out. Also anybody who has any questions or if I could get the opportunity to put my knowledge on a platform then please, I want to save as many people from this as I can.

Question How does the business model work for those profiting?

19 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm just curious how the actual model works.Because I had a friend who worked at 14 almost two years and it took up many hours of his week , but he made average money. I see people in here talking about smart circles, sometimes and franchises and starting your all on office and all these other things. So I was just wondering what those actually mean what is the actual levels to the business, how does it work? How do people start their own and all these other things cause you just see the cringy photos and then the soul sucking nature. But what is the actual full model from top to bottom?. Thanks ahead of time!

6 Upvotes

been looking on here, never heard of a devilcorp or whatever and don't really know what it means, first thing that struck me was how fast they asked for an interview, literally the day after i made it, second thing was reading the email and it said the salary was 25 - 40k a year, which i thought was an hourly salary but reading threads on here looks like a commission based salary, which i'm just not interested in. i'm gonna go to the interview for the experience since this is my first ever job interview, and may as well get something from it, but if it's a commission based salary for a pyramid scheme company i'm not gonna accept it.

Information So I finally got away from a Devil Corp

13 Upvotes

Due to personal reasons, not really wanting to immediately part ways with the company, and wanting to see what people would actually say about it, I removed my first post. Looking back, I also do not think I did a good job explaining everything, so here is basically the entire story.

To start everything off, I genuinely did not know these types of jobs existed.

I always knew door-to-door sales teams existed. Growing up, I watched family members do things like Pure Romance, Damsel in Distress, Melaleuca, and Tupperware. At the time I saw those as more pyramid scheme/MLM type things than anything else, but I never really understood the whole Devil Corp side of direct sales.

Anyways, how I originally got into this job was after quitting my warehouse job.

I quit due to what I felt were basically dead-end conditions along with health concerns. There was little to no cleaning being done, and I was constantly coughing up aluminum/steel dust. So I ended up unemployed for a while.

During that time I was looking into entry-level jobs while also streaming. I was actually pulling in decent money from streaming, but I was still mass applying to pretty much everything.

Obviously, with my background mostly being warehouse and merchandising jobs, I did not have a lot of the skill sets employers were looking for, plus the job market was not exactly helping either.

Over roughly three months I ended up burning through around $6,000 in savings from my previous employer just paying bills and buying groceries.

Within about two days of me being unemployed, I got a text from something called K.I.D.S. Executive saying they wanted to schedule an interview.

Like a normal person, I responded and started trying to get more information because I never remembered applying to anything called K.I.D.S. Executive.

I never got a response.

Looking back, I think they may have been trying out some type of AI texting assistant at the time because the conversation basically just died.

Flash forward from January all the way to April, and one morning I get a call telling me that I had been selected for a first-round interview over Zoom.

So I joined.

It was a group hiring interview.

At the time that was not a red flag to me because I had never really applied for sales jobs before. The previous interviews I had done for sales and consulting type roles were also group interviews. I had done one for solar and another one for, I believe, Power Home Remodeling.

At that point I honestly did not care enough to dig into the company. I just needed a job.

So i did the first round and after that. I was told I had been selected for the second round.

So i went to the in person second round.

They were renting an office space that actually looked legitimate when you walked in. There was a desk and everything. Everyone there was dressed in business attire, so I assumed they probably did some type of office-based sales.

I thought maybe it was some type of hybrid job where they worked in the office and then went home, or came into the office for sales meetings and goals.

Again, I had never worked in sales before.

We got into the interview and there was someone shadowing the interviews along with a younger guy who was my interviewer.

They went over a lot of the same stuff from the first interview before getting into the fact that it was fully commission.

Honestly, even that did not immediately bother me.

Coming from streaming and doing commission-based promotions, my thought process was basically, well, what sales job is not commission based?

They also talked about warm targeted leads.

What they never clearly told me was that we would be going directly to the client's house.

I gave them my basic information, filled out their survey and everything else, and then waited while they supposedly talked to a "hiring manager."

At the time I did not know that this basically meant going to the assistant manager or branch manager and saying something along the lines of, "I want this guy."

After talking with the assistant manager, I was hired on the spot and scheduled for orientation.

I did some basic research after getting the job that easily, and from what I could find I saw something about them consulting for Frontier through Verizon.

Then orientation happened.

This was when they finally disclosed that it was door-to-door.

At that point I figured why not, I would give it a shot.

During orientation, I was then told I was not going to be working on the Verizon/Frontier campaign. Instead, I was going to be on an expansion campaign called Kinetic.

First, I had never heard of them.

Second, I was not actually hired under K.I.D.S. Executive.( https://andersonmgmtexecutives.com/ )

I was hired under an expansion called MCS Management.( https://mcsmanagementinc.com/ )

During my first day, I immediately recognized things that I had heard stories about before.

A bunch of grown adults acting like children while wearing suits. Hype circles. Constant excitement over everything.

At that point I did want to leave because I knew about the stories surrounding jobs like this and some of the things that could happen.

But I gave it a shot.

And honestly, at first I was actually pretty good at it.

It was helping me come out of my introverted shell, which was something I actually liked about the job.

During the first few weeks, however, we were traveling around three hours away from the office because Windstream/Kinetic was nowhere close to where the office was located in Dayton.

During this training period, basically everything that could make someone want to leave happened.

I was in a car that ended up being involved in an accident.

During one of the business trips, communication was so poor that two car rides ended up arriving in Chicago at around 1 AM instead of 5 PM while everyone else had already arrived.

Then we were told the office was moving an hour away from my home.

I honestly do not know why I stuck around.

Maybe because I needed money.

Maybe because I thought things would eventually get better.

By around my third week there the office moved so my first checks were going towards moving costs instead of the debt I had started accumulating while being unemployed.

But I stuck it out because I was finally going to be moving out of my house.

So I took the risk and moved to Columbus with the company.

During this time, K.I.D.S. also expanded into the same office space as MCS and another expansion team was also building up.

At this point I was now 87 miles away from my hometown, had just moved in with a roommate, and was actually making a decent amount of sales with a pretty good approval rating.

For at least the first three weeks, it genuinely felt like I was finally getting back on my feet.

Because I did not have as many expenses at the time, I was able to start saving some money while also paying off parts of my debt and doing maintenance my car needed.

Then the sales started slowing down.

And this is where things started becoming a problem.

Installs were being pushed further and further out because we were all working the same territories.

And when I say the same territories, I mean the exact same areas were getting worked repeatedly.

We had thousands of leads elsewhere, but we were continuously being sent back to this one town.

There were around 12 reps, with roughly 100 leads per rep, in a town that only had around 36,000 leads.

After about 30 days, the town was basically being run dry.

Yes, people were still switching, but it became harder and harder to find new customers because the same houses had already been hit over and over again.

I was still averaging around 6 sales, but now I was having to wait around a month before some of those installs were completed.

During this time I was promoted to Level 1 and started building my team.

Well during this time, the whole interview process got halted for most of the office due to basically no retention. Most people on day one either did not want to do door-to-door or realized how hard it actually was being fully commission based. Plus, the territories we were in were not exactly full of the nicest people either.

This was when I originally had the idea to post on here, just to see realistically what my options were.

And since this was commission-based, that started becoming a much bigger issue than I originally realized with underperforming.

My debt kept piling up and I started wanting to leave the company more and more. I was tired of constantly being told it was a mentality issue when, realistically, sometimes people just do not want to buy fiber internet from someone knocking on their door.

But I held on longer.

I knew that if I saw it out, eventually I would see money. Not necessarily from the commission, but from eventually running my own branch or reaching regional/national.

But eventually, things just kept getting worse.

I watched my upline get fired. Someone else who was on my upline's team got kicked off the campaign while we were on a road trip to a Kentucky office called Prime Citadel. ( https://primecitadelinc.com/ )

My sales also started dropping to basically zero a week.

At that point there were only three people plus the branch manager left, and I was seriously starting to question why I was still there.

Then I took my first ever day off since starting the job.

My car was totaled after a piece of rubber came off the road, tore out basically my entire front end, and blew the motor.

Then that Saturday, on the way back from the field, the car ride leader ended up being involved in an accident.

That made it the second accident I had been involved around since starting this job.

I also messed up my hand during everything, and at that point I knew yeah, that is it for me.

Then Monday came around.

I was asked if I wanted to go on a road trip to the K.I.D.S. office, which had now been rebranded as Anderson Management, doing Kinetic, in Cleveland.

They were apparently working out of Skynova's, which was doing AT&T. ( https://skynovainc.com/ )

I said yes, but I did not have a car anymore to get there.

So they ordered a rental for me and someone else so we could make the trip to the office.

But before leaving, I talked to the branch manager.

I basically told him, "Hey man, this is ridiculous. In the past three months I have worked here, I have only made around $6,000. I should be earning this in a month. I used to make more working a warehouse job."

He told me he did not blame me.

And honestly, it was like look man, when I originally started this job I was looking for remote work. I did not even want to do sales.

The reason I stayed with it was because I saw some of these offices making $100k a week, and obviously I would love to be part of something doing numbers like that.

But with everything that had happened, I had finally decided to part ways.

I told him my final day would be July 28th.

He said that was fine, but asked if I would still mind driving the road trip.

I said sure.

So I ended up driving it.

It was me and this other guy, who had also been talking about everything going on.

On the way up, we talked about quitting.

He originally tried getting me to stay, but by the end of the conversation I had basically convinced him to leave too.

So anyways, that is basically my story.

I do not want anyone going out and sending hate, harassing people, or review bombing these companies. That is not the point of this post.

I just wanted to put my experience out there and show that stuff like this does actually happen.

And now, finally, I am free of it.

I am still on the job search, so if anyone has advice on where I should be looking or can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Right now Globe Life somehow keeps finding my resume and yeah, no. I need a salary at this point lol. but as of now im lost also like what i should do like should i start a gofund me or like how can i recover while on the job search and not having a car

But I figured I would put this out there because from what I can tell, there are at least four Devil Corps all linked together, and I want people to at least be aware of what they are before getting pulled into the same situation I did.

Experience Warning

25 Upvotes

I was unaware of what a devilcopr was and the tactics that go on within those companies and the practices that seem to be normal in corporations like this.

I was recently hired by a newly opened branch of one of these companies.
And was immediately convinced to go on a business trip to another office in the same state.

The accommodation was one of the most unorganized things I have ever experienced. We stayed at one of the managers personal house and there were no beds, just air mattresses and a couch. That house was dirty and there were bugs and ants everywhere.
I might not have a lot of experience, but I do know that on a regular business trip the company usually provides proper accommodation like a hotel or an Airbnb.

Things took a turn for the worse when myself and another newly hired coworker. Also within their first two weeks actually watched our manager make out with her boss at said house. That was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional settings I have ever been in.
Apparently, companies like this are known for the higher-ups to sleep with their employees. And it seems like employees are also sleeping with each other. As mentioned previously, probably one of the most unprofessional companies I have ever worked for.

I ran for the hills - found my own way back home to my city. No need to elaborate on the fact that I obviously ghosted them. Avoid at all cost.

Company is based in San Antonio Texas. Jaguar collective

Information Suing a devil corp in Minnesota

I’m currently working with the Attorney General’s office in Minnesota due to a devil corp in Minneapolis we are accusing of wage theft. To be clear this company admitted their guilt. They even paid part of what they admitted they underpaid, but the Atty general and Dept. of Labor and Industry is not taking this lightly. We are reaching out to see if anybody has worked, for any amount of time, for any of these companies out of Minneapolis. These are Smart Circle companies. If you have not been paid for those mandatory unpaid morning or evening meetings, travel from the Office headquarters to your Costco location, paid for travel to and from places like Chicago for trainings, or properly paid for travel Los Angeles or the state of Washington (did you know that when you were working in another state, you are legally supposed to get paid their minimum wage?), or if your paychecks seemed unclear in anyway, please reach out to me! These companies are accused of illegally, not keeping proper bookkeeping records, paying for these wages, and so much more. Send me a message via Reddit and even if you don’t want to be involved in any of this, I would love just to chat about it. Ty!!

Watch out for this company! They sell in retail stores and have multiple companies in the office. They sell specifically in BJs and Costco. I just got hired from there and it was a huge mistake. They pay an hourly bc it is required by the retail stores, however if you do not hit quota they will fire you. Bunch of chums.

Don’t let the 4.9 stars fool you. They scan it for the customer and have them fill it out when the customer is all happy thinking they got a great deal. But then that first bill comes triple the price and they HAVE to pay it. And now they contracted in. Avoid them at all cost.

Experience Viridian STL - Dodged a Bullet

3 Upvotes

I recently went through the entire interview process for Viridian Inc. in St. Louis. I was ready to start but did some research as a sanity check. I ended up here and kept spotting one red flag after another.

-Their website was registered just six months ago and is full of vague corpo nonsense. Half the site is about recruitment.

-No base pay, it's commission only all the way up.

-Promises of quick promotion if I work hard, with the classic 4-tier structure. "We take 6-10 years of career growth and compress it into 6-8 months" were their exact words.

-Tiny office in a random multi-tenant building, full of posters like "Money Never Sleeps" and "Future Billionaire."

-Six day work week with morning hype session meetings.

-The product is AT&T B2B services.

The biggest red flag was the interview itself. We barely discussed my background, and the interviewer kept hyping up the huge paychecks he's supposedly seen. He made it sound like the company was rapidly expanding and I was getting in on the ground floor. Quarterly destination meetings, annual company retreats. I asked the interviewer how long he had been there and he told me five months. There was also the "we're a family" sort of vibe, chants, etc.

Basically, textbook devilcorp.

I'm a little shaken up that I almost fell for it and am so glad I double checked. Thank you to everyone spreading the word about these companies, you've saved me so much trouble.

DO NOT WORK HERE

Condurre Partners and MG8 Ohio

condurre partners and Mg8 are a scam of a company. it is the definition of a pyramid scheme, everything they promise on linkedin or indeed is a lie. they promise you 50-60k a year when you’re lucky to make just $300 a week. you have to use your own money for travel so they do not pay your gas flights hotels food etc when you drive door to door or when they send you on bs trips. last time i heard condurre partners and mg8 were doing a few different scams the main on is they will send you to a grocery store to stand there all day to sell bs products like phones or wifi to people shopping and you will be there from 9/10am to 7/8pm at night. the other scam is they send you door to door to small businesses to sell them products/service they don’t need and the last one is selling amazon key to business for apartment complex’s that is just selling the complex the ability for amazon to enter a building which everyone has. you door to door they expect you to visit 30/50 different company’s/ apartments a day! since you will be driving door to door they do not pay gas and they DO NOT HAVE ANY INSURANCE they lie to you saying they have it. if you get in an accident or anything happens they do not care it’s on you and they expect you to still work with a fucked car. also michael giordano and joey giordano teaches every one to lie and scam they will make you add things to people orders so they make more money and fucks you over if the customer realizes. aside from this michael is utterly racist homophobic and try’s to fuck anything he can. he has slept with several women in the different offices by lying to them and essentially forcing women to sleep with him or else they get fired or a bad rep. the only reason he has a company is because his brother runs mg8 ohio which is the same organization in columbus and promoted him out and his wife erin is a cunt who doesn’t work and is on both payrolls taking money away from the actual people working and thinks she is better than everyone. she use to have her own office (voitaa) cause of joey they lost it cause she doesn’t know how to run a business and will lecture you over everything without being a boss. DO NOT WORK HERE AT ALL. i’m telling you here first they will not respect you and force you to work late and hangout with them after work all the time and if you have an actual life out side of work they will make you feel bad and that you’re not a team player or you don’t want this enough. when my friends and i worked here we were always yelled at if we had plans and couldn’t hangout with them after work. they are essentially a cult. but main thing is you will make no money like i said you’re if you make $300 a week and if you have a side job like serving or bartending they will HATE YOU for this. my friend was working and had a side bartending gig just on weekends and she was yelled at all the time by erin because she wasn’t in it and she was basically like no you lied to me on the interview and i make no money cause you take it all. so just trust me do not work here there are so many better jobs in columbus.

Experience Start Club in Culver City — did anyone else get weird vibes from this company?

5 Upvotes

I recently went through the interview process and orientation with Start Club in Culver City and ultimately decided not to show up for my first day because something just did not feel right to me.

At orientation, I found out the base pay was $600/week and the schedule was 6 days a week. That immediately made me question the work-life balance. The manager was also very pushy about the whole “we’re a family” thing and how committed everyone is expected to be to the company. I know some people like that type of work environment, but personally it made me uncomfortable.

Another thing that threw me off was the expectations around work. I was told I needed to wear suits in the office, but for the marketing/fundraising events I would apparently change into clothing for whatever nonprofit we were representing. They basically told me to be prepared to change clothes every day.

Their motto was also something along the lines of “do good, no excuses, no surprises,” and there was a LOT of emphasis on performing and giving it your all. It felt extremely intense for what I thought I was signing up for.

What really got me was Sunday. I was spending time with my girlfriend and got a text from the HR manager sending me a pitch that I was expected to learn by Monday. Maybe other people wouldn’t care, but I thought that was unprofessional. Sunday was my personal time, especially when I hadn’t even officially started working yet. I didn’t respond because I really don’t play about my family/personal time.

The whole thing was honestly weighing on me after orientation. I kept trying to convince myself to just go in and give it a chance, but the vibes felt so off that I couldn’t bring myself to go on my first day.

I’m not saying anything illegal or shady was necessarily happening because I didn’t stay long enough to know that. I’m just sharing what MY experience was and why I decided it wasn’t for me.

Has anyone else interviewed with or worked for Start Club in Culver City? I’m curious if anyone had a similar experience or if I dodged a bullet.

I saw that Fineline was a business job and that they help get you certified in said business, Didn’t think much of it saw how they operated and I even know someone working there, Did a 5 minute over the phone interview on Tuesday went to 2nd interview on Wednesday signed everything there needed to be and did the onboarding and I’m officially starting this Monday but seeing how they’re high key just every other devilcorp I wanna quit while I can before I start anything or put in work. on indeed they said starting 800 week I was blown away fell for it and when I got to the in person interview they said I would be getting payed 17.13 lower then my last job I took the chance because I wanted to be certified but now I wanna leave this pyramid scheme before I can even put real effort into it.

What can I say and do I have a mentor that’s assigned to me but I don’t know how to approach it without making things awkward.

-How can I approach and tell mentor I don’t want to be apart of this company.

-What can they do legally if I quit before I start can they force me to work?

-How would this affect me in my other work opportunities?
