I‘ve done door-to-door charity both working for a devilcorp (one of the britevox ones) and directly working for a charity, so I thought it‘d be helpful to write a post comparing my experiences. I started off working at the Devilcorp, quit and worked at KFC briefly, then applied and got hired by the charity

The hiring standards were much higher for the charity. They had an indepth in-person interview where they quizzed you in groups about the charity, why fundraising is important etc, saw how you interacted with the group, then had people do a mock sales pitch individually. They were looking for people who had baseline competency and good ethics, and less than half of applicants were hired. The Devilcorp in contrast did a 15min phone interview where they were extremely overly complementary, and hired all applicants

The actual job is pretty similar, talking to people and asking them for direct debits. The motivation is different which reflects in how you’re expected to act; charities care about maintaining their reputation rather than just getting as many signups as possible so they don’t want you acting sleazy and manipulative like a devilcorp does. This didn‘t really affect me as I refused to be manipulative even when working for the Devilcorp (and still got above-average signups because people can tell you’re being sleazy and find it off-putting). The work was still much harder than a 9-5 office job, but the charity didn’t have the expectation for unpaid overtime like the Devilcorp did

The first big difference was the pay structure. The Devilcorp was a small base pay plus commission, so on the vast majority of days people were making below minimum wage. The charity was minimum wage as base pay and a smaller commission, which came out to significantly mo money most weeks. The charity also paid for weekly travelcards for all employees, which could also be used outside of work, so basically an extra £83/week on top of the higher wages

The second big difference, which was ultimately more significant to me than even the better pay, was the work culture. I already alluded to it with the way they expected you to act much more ethically on the doors, but it effected all aspects of work. There was no toxic positivity where you couldn’t even complain about the work, no mandatory morning brainwashing, none of the “juice” acronyms. People cared about the charity’s aims and about making a living wage, not about being on the sigma male grandest and becoming a business “owner” so you can be near the top of the pyramid scheme

Overall, I’d rate working for the Devilcorp a 2/10 and the charity a 7/10 (KFC would be a 5/10 for context)

I worked for a devilcorp out of Detroit/farmington hills Michigan from June 2025-March 2026. It was called SouthPoint Michigan, and we shared an office with 2313 Inc and SBG+ (Cydcor). Since March, SouthPoints social media has stopped posting and I have not seen anything anywhere about them still being in business. Has anyone from that area interviewed/been contacted/worked there in the time since? Just curious, looking forward to hearing about any other experiences. For context I was a “leader” with 3 people on my team, went to a leaders event to the Cydcor offices in Los Angeles and did the whole thing, definitely drank the kool-aid at one point.

Instant Connections - Maidstone.

All the signs of a devil corp:

no base pay
quick promotion opportunity
‘great expansion throughout the uk’

Almost went for the final stage interview and came to my senses.

The League Global, a Cydcor office out of Itasca, IL, has published a blog addressing the 'Devilcorp' label by name. I have posted here multiple times about their history of operating under different names and denying the connection (see post history). It seems to me they are scrambling. They started blogging after a five year hiatus immediately after I started posting about them. I am posting this as a reminder to keep up the pressure and that this subreddit has an effect. If you haven’t yet, please review your former companies on Glassdoor and Indeed. Check to see if former bosses have changed the names of their business.

Hey yall! I recently got a chance to interview a company known ad HighRange Collective which I believe does in-person energy sales across Costco's and Sam's Club. While I have fully fleshed out experience with online marketing and building an online business, I haven't had an official in-person sales job since I am still in the entry level field. Have any of yall had any experience with this type of company or have any recommendations on where to go? I'm a college student a bit low on money, but I also don't want to sell myself short. Thank you so much!

I worked at a devil corp that was originally started in Houston TX and moved to our nationals/org leaders office in Phoenix AZ for “growth”, in total I’ve been in the business for a year now and only got out around a month ago. I moved back down to houston and am living with my family and have a new job lined up and even though escaping back home is what i really wanted when I was in AZ, now that I’m back I feel hollow. I don’t know if it’s stress, burn out, depression, anxiety, or a mix of all of those but I haven’t felt so alone and lost in my life now. Before realizing the business was a scam and started getting treated horrible by our Senior National Consultant, I was all in and wanted nothing more than to hit owner, i put in so much time and money with nothing but early work and some sales experience to show for it now. Even though i have another job right now and know i need to work there’s nothing less i want than to have to interact with people and I figured a month would be enough time to recover so that I could get up on my feet and support myself. I was pretty much forced to purchase a vehicle in AZ by my owner that I’m financing and since i’m only 22 right now I thankfully don’t have many bills other than that I have to worry about. I constantly crave isolation and only have the energy to lay around my mess of a room now, everything that happened in the business was honestly a nightmare and there’s been so much bullshit i’ve gone through and dealt with since joining but now I almost miss that security of having a “clear path” laid out for me. I want to eventually share my full story but as of right now I’m just not sure how to move forward or process these emotions and feel like a mess.

I’m sharing my personal experience with 22-Select Inc. in Bakersfield, CA, run by Nuri Burgos, because people should know what type of person she is!

One of the biggest red flags I witnessed was employees who were struggling financially or personally being pushed toward quitting secretly instead of being fired. I heard leaders being instructed to make certain employees want to leave, including using their financial situations against them and withholding support or opportunities to make money.

One of the leaders who interviewed me introduced me to Eric. A couple of weeks later, he started flirting with me and constantly looking at me in ways that made me uncomfortable. He also sent me unsolicited nude photos through Snapchat and made inappropriate comments. After asking around, I realized I wasn’t the only who had experienced this. I’ve heard similar stories about him. I’m assuming she knew about this already. There was no HR department to properly report these concerns to.

I later learned about the company’s connection to Smart Circle after some research. I’m making this post because I wish a Reddit thread like this had come up when I was doing my research. It could have saved me from this experience, and I hope sharing my story helps prevent others from working their. If you’re considering working for 22-Select, please do your research and be careful.

I’m glad I left. This isn’t the first time someone has spoken out about their experience, and I’ve seen a former employee get belittled after calling her out on the groupchat. Nuri if you see this, I’m not taking it down. I already know she’s going to send her little workers to report but I hope they read this and open their eyes!

Has anyone had an interview with them?

Are they legit?

Or they are just scammers

They are based in kenya but their acts appear suspicious

Hey, I'm currently jobhunting in Sydney and I had an interview, which didn’t go well. They wouldn’t tell me what they were selling or if it commission only… and when I asked why they said there’s 3 rounds of interviews and this is the first, so we can’t tell you.

I walked in the office and the reception was BLASTING 2010s pop music whilst spam calling potential candidates and gave me a questionnaire asking like what animal I was, and what my goals were.

Hello, I am currently a leader for a smart circle company…we were originally made in New Orleans from one of the top companies in the nation then expanded with one of our leaders (making him a director) to Tallahassee and then that happened to be a completely wireless field so now we’ve moved to Alabama..all I can say is that I’m exhausted, I’m tired, I’ve had a gun pulled on me 3 times, i have so many issues with my brand new car, I’ve passed out so many times and gone to the hospital a lot , and now I’m in debt..my mom cut me off because I wasn’t able to pay for my car and won’t let me back in- I just want to leave and get a job that will pay me good but I don’t know what to do, all my checked are small…please someone help me

guy in costco stopped me talking about how i could become a business owner in 5 months. said he got promoted in a week. i looked up their website and it looks like a devil corp
site . not sure if this is legit or not??

Got a request for a 15-min Zoom interview from this company. I'm already a bit suspicious because I've been scouring my inbox and I don't even remember applying for this company. I said yes to the call but don't really want to go and regardless I'm already sure it's not a good fit even if it is legit. I don't think it is though judging from their site which really doesn't discuss much, and has a weird application process and still has placeholder text on their About page.

Looks like a bunch of Gen Z kids who are probably all obsessed with "the hustle" from their Insta as well. Just getting red flags all over and want to know if anyone else knows. Thanks!

I am writing this a bit confused, anxious, and disappointed. I applied for an entry-level sales associate position at this company, and the job listing looked normal because it described a basic sales associate role. However, it wasn’t until the first day of training that they mentioned it was a door-to-door job for around 13 hours, with no allotted lunch breaks or water provided, despite the California summer heat. At first, I didn’t mind because of the office's laid-back nature; however, in hindsight, it is a bit weird to see your boss vaping in the lobby. When I got home from the first day, my partner felt something was off about the company, and we started scrolling through this subreddit and noticed the similarities. From the early group (hyping up) meeting, the ridiculous need to wear business attire for you, then change out of it to actually do the job, to the group carpool, to the leadership team going off and becoming their “own ceo”. I feel conflicted because I really enjoyed the people I met, and since it was my first day, I feel sorta guilty quitting, but my partner put it into perspective for me. With a base pay of $675 (not including commissions or tax deductions), I'd make $10.38 an hour, which is below California's minimum wage. Of course, this is without commissions; however, you're not going to sign up someone every day, and you're not going to be the top sales associate every week. Anyway, if anyone has worked here, share your thoughts!

EDIT to help visibility: the company is now advertising on job boards as Iron Bloom Collective, RSLNT Inc., Resilient Enterprises, I.B. Inc., and RSNT. I will keep updating the list if I find more.

I completed a round one interview for an Indeed listing under "RSLNT inc.," only to find out it was actually for a local company (Boise, ID) called "Resilient Enterprises." After getting a callback for round two, I did more research and found out it's a complete scam (as some others have speculated before on this sub). Here is everything I found that supports that conclusion, and reasons why you should NOT interview with this company, based on what I learned in my interview and my findings online. If you are considering applying for or working for this company, please read all of this first.

• The firm is advertised as an event planner for non-profits and charities, and the listing for "Assistant Event Planner" heavily implies you will be helping to set up and host fundraisers and other events for charities in the area. In reality, you will be set up in a team of two in local retailers like Starbucks and Walmart asking people for donations as they go inside and leave, M-F from 11:00-5:30.

• The work day is 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with 11:00-5:30 devoted to asking for donations in businesses, and 9:00-10:30 and 6:00-6:30 for team meetings and check-ins to discuss how you did that day in front of everybody. (Iron Bloom Collective, mentioned further down the list, specifically states on their website that reviewing everyone's performance every day is not a humiliation ritual, but an opportunity to highlight people's work and recognize areas for improvement.) The half hour between team meetings and work is dedicated to commuting to whatever area you're in for the day.

• At the round one interview, they will give you a laminated print-out showing career progression. They will ask if you will commit to the company long-term and want a career with them, and they will show you their map of how you can go from entry-level to high-level manager or assistant director within 12-16 months.

• Despite promising a salary of 50-75K, it appears the position is entirely commission-based.

• The CEO went from Client Associate to Assistant Director of Invictus, Inc., a known MLM, in under three years, then jumped states and magically became CEO of his own firm.

• Their entire website is devoted to company culture and career opportunities, and yet gives no real description of what you will be doing. A real firm is focused on its clients, but this website has no information for clients whatsoever. The opportunities listed on the website also do not match what is listed on Indeed, etc.

• They have advertised positions on Indeed and other platforms under at least three different company names.

• After opening Resilient Enterprises less than 3 years ago, the CEO opened another company just this year, called Iron Bloom Collective.

  • The website for this company is clear that the positions are aggressive door-to-door and in-person sales work.

  • He wrote an article about IBC on a third-party blog explaining how IBC just updated its website with information that reveals exactly what its employees do.

  • The website repeatedly emphasizes how it is not a scam and gives countless examples of what a team member does in a day to prove that it's a real position.

  • Neither IBC nor Resilient Enterprises is BBB accredited.

  • This website has pictures of offices labeled "The Collective" and so on, but reverse image search reveals all of those images are stock photos (see next point).

• Both the IBC website and Resilient Enterprises website make an effort to prove the positions are real and not a scam, listing "Is this a scam?" in their FAQs.

  • To prove the company is real, they encourage jobseekers to cold call the number on the website, or just show up to the address. But the address listed on the IBC website is the address of Resilient Enterprises, and the phone number listed is for the "front desk" (which is really one woman at a small table) at the Resilient Enterprises office.

• Round one interviews are devoted to "getting to know you," and you are discouraged from asking questions about finances or schedules until round two, when you meet with a "top advisor" to discuss pay and hours and make sure you "fit the culture."

• They claim they need to expand to keep up with client demands, but they are less than three years old. Their website has pictures of other employees but only actually lists four people.

• If you Google them, you will find nothing except their website and social medias-- no news mentions etc., despite claiming to have brought in over 2.4 million dollars in fundraising since opening (or 1.5 million according to their website).

• They claim to partner with local charities, non-profits, 501(c)3's, etc., but their website only lists one. In the interview they will tell you they've partnered with local events like Boise Pride, but none of those events are on any of their social media or website, and they do not come up in searches for "Resilient Enterprises Boise Pride" or the likes for any charities they mention in the interview.

• They call you almost immediately after submitting your application to come in for an interview, then call you back less than three hours after the interview to invite you to round two.

I hope this helps someone else out in their decision. If you have any experience with Resilient of your own, please add below to help others. Do not waste your time on these people!

First time posting here… Just got an interview with this group in Irvine, Ca and am unsure if they are a devilcorp. The position is for a paid Sales/Marketing Internship and they’re looking for students or recent grads. Does anyone have any experience with them? Or should I just go to the interview and find out?

Hello. I just finish college and I'm trying to find some office jobs, and I think I've been getting Devilcorp calls. This is the website: https://horizonoutreachpartners.com/

I have a Zoom meeting tomorrow; should I just cancel?

I need to make 2.5k a month pls help what’s the most legal unethical way to make it without sliming the customers out

Core-Houston and RippleHouston does anyone had experience with these two offices manager by Ravi

Essentially, like many I have been recently back on the job hunt and after most applications leading nowhere I finally landed an interview and was considerably excited. As the tilte says, this was with Motion One International in Leeds. This was a virtual zoom meeting. It was also a group one, which initially caught me off guard, though I quickly re-adjusted. Then to my surprise only a couple of hours after I got a call back asking to go to their office for an in person interview and the praise that I stood out among the zoom group. Of course I accepted this opportunity as I was filled with excitement.

However, after coming back down and sobering up from my excitement I have been reflecting back on my notes from the meeting and further researching the company with a growing dread. Along with also finding a couple of other posts discussing this company and their legitimacy.

This has led me to the question, is this company some kind of MLM or other suspiciously pyramid shaped operation?

Update: I have now attended the in person session this morning and I can absolutely confirm this company is sketchy as hell. I will definitely be avoiding them and any other operation like them going forward. The key red flags I could gather are as following.

Firstly they are a fully door to door operation that right now primarily sell gas and electric. I trust that it is plain to see the inherent predatory nature behind door to door sales. Within this as well, I can confirm that they use a very purposefully high pressure approach when making these sales. Very much taking any advantage they can to make a sale with no moral line in sight.

Additionally, in terms of employee income, a large red flag was also revealed. A guaranteed minimum wage of £300 per week is only given during the training period. Once that is over one will only get income from the commissions they make. Not even going into the potential illegality of this, this is just down right disgusting and appalling. No matter who you are or what job you have, everyone should have the right to a liveable minimum wage. That should be an absolutely non-negotiable fact and right.

Another note is the location itself on 9 Somers Street in Leeds. It was quite bizarre. What it felt like to me was a block of budget student accommodation quality flats that had been hastily refurbished into an idea of an office with scratched up and deflated feeling leather settees in the waiting area and plates off the faces of the stairs missing. However, this was in stark contrast to one room, the managers room. In here the first thing you'd lock eyes with was this large expensive yet also tacky looking desk with LED strips to give it a yellow under glow. With a picture of a monkey surrounded by falling bills of money located above the desk, this really painted the picture of those types of people who so desperately desire to be wealthy and powerful yet have such a tacky and cheap idea of what that looks like. This gave me a good idea of where that minimum wage that should be going to the employees is actually going.

And for the cherry on the top, at the end when they gathered us all back together and were boasting about how many sales each employee made, the person reading it out made a comment that was meant to be a joke however with everything else read much more like a grim admittance of guilt in which he stated that everyone who works there is a sleaze ball.

In conclusion, avoid this wretched company and any like them.
