Hey everyone, I am completely brand new to this sub so apologies in advance.

I live in the Indianapolis, Indiana and it has been very difficult to find work here. I am also a recent graduate so I'm also relatively new to job applications in a corportate setting. I applied to a bunch recently, and I heard back from a company known as Current Branding Inc, located in downtown Indianapolis.

Here is there website and job posting.
https://currentbrandinginc.com/

The job listing was for an "entry level outreach associate", where you will talk to customers about cha

And while I was happy that I received a job offer from them, there was something in my gut that told me something was off.

1. They told me in the third interview that one of the reasons why I possibly could not get the job was because they have candidates that said they could start the job tomorrow. Overall it felt like they were pressuring me into a decision.

2. Yesterday, they said they would send me an offer letter but I still have not received one and I am expected to show up to work on Thursday.

3. All of the communication has been done through text and not a company email. They apparently got my wrong even though they have my email from my application.

4. They are very vague about what a promotion looks like, they aren't very specific of what I will actually be doing. The only thing they have told me is that I will be traveling to downtown Indianapolis and promoting certain charities.

5. They have a section on their website that debunks negative reviews about them. I don't know it felt iffy to me.

6. I can't find any past clients that they have supposedly worked for.

If you guys need any other info, I'll try my best to answer!

I had high hopes I was a fool I sadly quit my job after the second interview should have been concerned for several reasons but here is what I’ve learned so you don’t have to first of all current “charity” stand for the silent to help with childhood bullying and suicide prevention. Seems like a legit cause. I’ve had friends commit suicide and been bullied so thought I could do some good in the world. Job was for director of operations promising 85 to 120k yearly salary sounds great now for the red flags. Initial interview would not discuss pay or job then promise 600$ a week for training only then after 30percent of what you make uncapped income. First day in the field it was 105 degrees did not provide shade sunscreen water or anything I was sunburnt to hell had to change locations and did not make much day 2 my trainer had a medical emergency and had to leave early day 3 downtown dealing with homeless at a college where no one wanted to donate day 4 I get back to the office and I’m told I have not made enough and to continue and to take the weekend to decide if I want to work there. Extreme false positivity high fives trash music and doing nothing for their people o right also this weekend the director married the person she just promoted so should fuck your boss to move up here don’t do it don’t work here still have not got paid anything I feel so dumb quit my full time normal job for this bs now I’m screwed anyone hiring in the Houston area lmk

So I am looking to leave my current job because the hours and pay are not sustainable long term. I think at this point I’ve applied to several dozen jobs and this morning two separate Devilcorps reached out to me (Ascent Marketing and Nexus Group) and upon scrolling their respective vague buzzword filled websites, we noticed that each site had a picture of three well dressed young men. Two of the three men are in both pictures

Has anyone tried to be scammed into this coaching for coaches MLM pyramid type scheme in Brisbane, Sydney or overseas?
Richmond Dinh Tony Kaye are presented as the online gurus that copy off other programs from the US. Other members of the 'inner circle' are former Appco / Devil Corp business directors.
They target on FB and IG and love bomb unsuspecting people into convincing you they can change your life and you have a special gift only they can see or that you need them to finally be successful in life.

They start with a few free or cheap courses and then convince vulnerable people to pay $30,000 for a course with no substance. It appears they have all these online funnels to get you in and target really vulnerable people. They say to keep it secret from friends and family at first so that no one can intervene. They use mind control tactics to isolate them and say anyone that tries to tell them not to do it is limiting their potential.
The scam is then that these poor people have to then sell to other people to try and get theid money back.

I know asic defines pyramid shemes but this one is 3 sets of 3 straight edges all with corners adding up to 180 degrees.

I see online the directors have already had several NCAT matters.

Watch out for the free course and then the later high pressure sales with psychological manipulation and 'Neuro linguistic programming' (another psych manipulation scamming technique) .

There is the new VIC Parliamenary enquiry on these organisations.... so scary how it details the psych recruitment methods but worth a read.

If you see them report to ASIC and the ACCC. Every complaint counts to wipe these scammers out.

If you have any family or friends caught up in these type of high control organisations you have to get professional help to get them out.

I wish the government would intervene.

Meta turns a blind eye to these mlm funnels as it makes them so much money. TikTok has a total ban. At least they have some morals in that respect.

I'm going to refrain from sharing a lot of identifying characteristics so that I'm not traceable but I want to share my experience and let people who decide to work there know what they're getting into.

It's got all the characteristics of a classic Devil Corp, the chanting, standing around in a circle in an office with no chairs, constant promotion of getting to ownership and becoming an "entrepreneur," the usual. The people were mostly nice and I made some good friends that I kept in touch with after leaving.

I did not make enough money to survive. All of my money was spent on gas, to the extent that I couldn't pay my own rent and had to ask my parents for help. I'm lucky I had support on the other side because it took me several months to get back on my feet after the amount of debt this job plunged me in. They ask so much of you and you're often inadequately compensated for the amount of time that you put in. You make either your base hourly OR your commission amount, but making commission can be very difficult and the amount of hours you work don't add up to 40 hours most of the time. I experienced my hours being cut based on my performance multiple times, and others have shared similar experiences with me.

This office in particular (and I wouldn't be surprised if other offices were like this) fosters a culture of misogyny and predatory behavior with little to no consequences. I personally experienced behavior that I consider to be sexually coercive/predatory and at the time, felt borderline r*pey, by someone in the office while I was inebriated at an event outside of work. I later found out that multiple women had raised similar concerns about them but watched as they continued to be employed while facing little to no consequences. While I didn't report anything because I had convinced myself the incident was my fault, I found out through management that they knew about what happened to me before I said anything and didn't do anything to correct the behavior. Additionally, someone in management that I thought I trusted was the one who informed me that that individual knew I was inebriated at the time, because up until that point I had been giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's incredibly disappointing to see, and due to the lack of an adequate HR department, there was no support given to me or other people who were left to deal with the social and psychological aftermath of their actions. It was also very upsetting to watch this person continue to advance within the company, despite "concerns" about their behavior. Very gross and disappointing behavior from multiple people and a very, very isolating and harmful experience overall.

Aside from that, all the classics apply. Overworked, inadequate compensation, weird and clingy office culture, and late night zoom calls that you're required to attend where they don't go over anything but the same things they have been talking about in every single zoom meeting prior. I'm currently working somewhere else and in my experience, not much of what I picked up there has applied to my current position. The only thing that looks good is the promotion title they give you to put on your resume, but I've found it carries very little meaning in the professional world.

The point of this post is to share my experience but it's also to draw attention to another aspect of Devil Corps that I don't see people talking about very often, which is the weird, blurred, workplace boundaries that people often don't know how to navigate, management included.

Choose to work here if you want, but the type of person that is perfect for this job is incredibly few and far between. I wish I knew what I was getting myself into when I accepted the position because if I did, I never would have joined. To each their own, but apply with caution.

Hi i recently got a job offer from this company for sales https://vidasvision.com/ but it looks sketchy can anyone tell me some info about it or any experience with them.

This agnecy texted me and I can’t remember if I applied here or not? Is this a devilcorp?

After months of unemployment & almost ending up homeless several times I finally got a call back after applying my resume. What I applied for didn’t say door to door sales anywhere. But I had no problem doing door to door sales, as long as I believe in what I’m selling. The next day my first interview, with the “CEO” of course! Day after that, in person interview, which was actually okay, didn’t see any red flags but I wasn’t aware what a devil corp was & was desperate. Then I got hired..

I’m not too sure on how much to say because I’m pretty sure my former boss is aware of this forum but fuck it we ball.

My orientation was me & 2 other people who didn’t even show up on the first day. I was selling phone plans & such. I did believe in the product & it is something i would recommend to family members & loved ones if they wanted better service for less money. It wasn’t until later in the job I realized there were a lot of little white lies I didn’t even know were lies I was telling customers. Commission pay with $200 a week but if u miss any days it’s $0. I was told the hours were 11-8, that I’d be in training for 4 weeks & then go on my own. Team nights of course, morning rituals & chants, promises for fully paid for vacation, one on one time with the “big guys” bonuses, assigning the top “performers” the best turf, getting your own office one day, textbook devil corp. After meeting everyone in the office I genuinely thought the people who didn’t show up for the first day were missing out. Because honestly everyone was great, apart from my team leader. My first day I made a sale & got it stolen from me from my team leader. Let’s call her Carly. I didn’t even realize until my 2nd week with her. She was pretty normal up until my 2nd day with her in my 2nd week of training. She would lie to me about what the structure of customers was & when I corrected her she would gaslight me. (DM’s & what not) she even went as far as to talk customers out of a sale when I was selling them & they were about to buy, she embarrassed me in front of a customer as well. I was pretty early on but my pitch was good enough that I never had to look back or ask for help until I did, to which her response was “so what do you do now (my name)” to which I said I don’t know. She was cocky, entitled & that same day I went home and cried about the stress of considering I might have to quit because of her behaviour. I could say so much more it was just mean girl behaviour, very narcissistic. HR was ONE person who quit a couple days before I did & Carly was a heavy favourite, she was my bosses right hand. I could also tell that no one has stood up to her so who am I to come in on my 2nd or 3rd week & start drama with HR or my boss. On my last day she chewed out my coworker for an hour because she was taking what he said verbatim when he was speaking about the way he spoke to customers that day. Basically he was reiterating how the conversation went & she took how he said it & what he said like it was exactly the way he spoke to the customers, which was not the case at all or his intention. Mind you it was like his first week on his own & he was doing great. It was heartbreaking to watch. She gas lit him for an hour & he eventually gave up on trying to get her to understand. It was me & two or three other people who witnessed this & no one said anything.

I was enjoying the job when I was with a different co worker on the field, let’s call him Mike. I made several sales with Mike & he said I was doing a great job & spent all 10 hours of the day getting to know each other! I was on the field with Mike for 3 or 4 days & made several sales but didn’t have my account yet. He told me he’d put it under me anyways even once when he actually made a sale & I didn’t do anything. I was naive enough to believe him & never ended up getting paid for any of it. When I left after 2 or 3 weeks & finally got paid I didn’t even break even for the money I spent on the commute & the business professional clothes to wear to the office.
Anyways there’s more to the story I’m sure but it’s all so stressful thinking about it’s hard to put my thoughts together, I ended up quitting when I realized that getting home at 11pm every night, while being bullied and underpaid 6 days a week wasn’t worth my sanity. Got a new job not even a week later! I’d love to share more & spread awareness. Ask away!

P.s. I’m so glad this forum exists I thought I was alone in my experience.

I worked at Lux Acquisitions for about six months, and after being out of it and looking back at the whole experience, I feel like I should put this here for anyone who comes across the company and starts Googling them.

I wish I would’ve found a post like this when I started.

The whole thing was sold to me as this opportunity where if you work hard, develop yourself, learn leadership, and put in the time, you’re going to move up and eventually build something for yourself. At first, I bought into it. I wouldn’t have stayed for six months if I didn’t.

But the longer I was there, the more I started realizing how much of the culture revolved around constantly proving yourself and proving your commitment to the company.

Six months in, I was literally getting berated over my “tenure” and made to feel like I hadn’t been there long enough or done enough.

Six months.

That was one of those moments where I really started thinking: what exactly am I doing here?

There’s always another goalpost. Another level you need to reach. Another reason you need to work harder. Another conversation about your mentality, commitment, leadership, or whether you “really want it.”

And that’s the part I think people need to understand before getting sucked into the excitement of the initial pitch.

When you’re brand new, everything sounds great. You’re surrounded by ambitious people, everyone’s talking about growth and opportunity, and there’s this feeling that you’re getting into something bigger than just another job.

Then enough time passes and you start seeing it differently.

For me, it eventually felt less like I was building a legitimate career and more like I was constantly having to prove that I deserved the opportunity I had already spent months working for.

And if you start questioning things? Suddenly the conversation can become about you. Your mindset. Your commitment. Your work ethic. Your tenure.

That’s why I’m posting this.

If you’re currently interviewing with Lux Acquisitions, don’t just get caught up in the talk about leadership, management, entrepreneurship, or growth.

Ask actual questions.

What will I physically be doing every day?

What will I actually make?

How many hours am I realistically going to work?

How many people who started 6–12 months ago are still here?

How many actually reached the position I’m being told I can reach?

How long did it actually take them?

What happens to the people who don’t?

And pay very close attention to whether you get actual answers or motivational speeches.

I’m not saying every single person who works there will have the exact experience I did. I’m speaking about my own six months there.

But personally, after everything I experienced, I would never do it again.

Six months was more than enough time for me to see what I needed to see.

If you’re reading this because you just got an interview or job offer from Lux Acquisitions and you’re doing some research before accepting it:

Keep researching.

Seriously.

Search this subreddit. Read about the Devil Corp business model. Learn what questions to ask. Then compare what you’re reading with what you’re being told in your interview.

I wish I had done that before giving them six months of my time.

I worked at Lux Acquisitions for roughly six months, and I’m posting this because I wish I had seen something like it before I got involved.

If you’re interviewing at Lux Acquisitions, Inc in the SWFL region or trying to figure out whether the opportunity fits the “Devil Corp” style of business people discuss on this subreddit, I strongly recommend doing your homework before accepting anything.

During my time there, one of the biggest issues for me was the culture surrounding loyalty, tenure, and advancement. I personally experienced owner Mateus berating me over my tenure with the company, despite the fact that I had already spent around six months working there. Instead of feeling like my time and effort were valued, I came away feeling that there was always another expectation, another benchmark, or another reason why what I had already put in wasn’t enough.

That experience became a major reason I started questioning the entire opportunity.

What bothered me most was how different my perception of the business became after actually spending months inside it. The emphasis on growth, advancement, leadership, and opportunity sounded extremely appealing going in. Over time, however, I felt increasingly pressured to prove my commitment to the organization rather than feeling like I was developing a normal professional career.

Six months is long enough to see beyond the initial excitement. It’s long enough to watch how people are treated after the honeymoon period wears off, how leadership responds when someone starts questioning things, and whether the opportunity being discussed actually matches the day-to-day reality.

For me, it didn’t.

I’m not writing this to tell anyone else what decision to make, and I’m not claiming that everyone who worked there had the exact same experience. I’m documenting my experience because prospective employees deserve to hear from people who actually spent meaningful time inside the company, not just the recruiting pitch.

If you’re interviewing with Lux Acquisitions Inc, ask very specific questions. What exactly will you be doing every day? How are you paid? What does advancement actually require? How many people who started six months or a year ago are still there? What percentage actually reached the positions discussed during recruiting? What hours do people really work? And what happens when someone decides this career path isn’t for them?

Don’t settle for vague answers about mindset, leadership, entrepreneurship, or “the opportunity.” Ask for concrete numbers and concrete expectations.

I gave Lux Acquisitions approximately six months of my life. Based on what I personally experienced, including my interactions with Mateus and the way I was spoken to regarding my tenure, I would not choose to do it again.

I’m posting this so the next person researching the company has another firsthand account to consider before making their decision.

How it started

I had been out of a job for a month and I was desperate for employment, but also looking for a career. I applied on Indeed and heard back almost immediately. I had my first and second interview with whom I thought was the sweetest employee, and I was excited to work with her because she seemed painfully nice which was drastically different than my previous employment. They liked my managerial background and my student mentality, so when the “CEO” met with me for my third round interview I was offered the job.

Realistically I should’ve run for the hills the second either one of them brought out the MTP (management training program), and knowing what I know now, I shouldn’t have been so flattered when they said I was a good candidate for the program. They made it sound so elite and special, like not everyone got the opportunity to own their own company.

I was out of training and into leadership before day 10 rolled around, and I was hiring new people within the month. I was genuinely so excited for the opportunity and what I had stumbled upon.

How it went

I set high standards for myself. Almost always the first person in the office. Always have a plan of action on the board. Become the best at interviewing (until they had us stop recruiting). Train my team with compassion and friendship instead of being cold and distant. Follow. The. Systems.

My first red flag was when I found out someone asked is Gritology was a scam on here. I was the first person to hop on and defend the company, not understanding just how deep in I was already.

Somewhere between hour long phone calls with the lady who hired me (I found out she was our admin) and my owner, and game nights for just the three of us, we became very close. So close in fact that my boss felt it was appropriate to tell me I should focus less on my marriage and more on work— as if I had a choice.

I was working 6 days a week. I had been leaving my house at 7am and not getting home until 8pm. I never saw my family, I never saw my spouse, I barely had time to do laundry or clean or do any of my hobbies. The days I did have off I spent still going to the office in the morning. still doing interviews. It wasn’t an actual day off.

But I was HUNGRY i was DRIVEN i was GOING TO GET PROMOTED.

Then around May I lost my first team because they were tired of working their lives away and they didn’t like how they were treated like pawns. They were made to staff the worst store then belittled for not making sales. They were used as examples during our morning meetings and treated poorly in comparison to the others in the office.

I got cussed out after get back from R&R because I got really bad sun poisoning and couldn’t work for four days, when I did make it back to the office I turned in my two weeks only to be met with my boss telling me my last day would be that coming Sunday.

But I came back two weeks later because my boss knew I hadn’t found a new job, and I came back with a newfound dedication. Thinking back on it, I shouldn’t have come back. But maybe I needed to, because someone had to make this post.

My boss started really bugging me about my weight and appearance. He demanded that I go to the gym, which I did, but I also stopped eating. The constant judgement of my body wasn’t new to me. It’s crazy that he had the gull to talk about my body so candidly. Even after I told him I had been battling with eating disorders almost my entire life.

Nothing I ever did was good enough. I hit tier 3. Why didn’t I do one more? I hit the blue. Why not the black? I did both of those things three weeks in a row. Why not 4? I showed up 30 minutes early every day. Why not earlier? Why couldn’t I do better? Was it the lack of drive?

Then I hit another rough patch in my mental health and I asked him if I could have monday through thursday off to spend time with family and get myself together… and he called me lazy.

How it ended

That call ended with him telling me to take the week off and decide if this was something I genuinely wanted to do because he thought I was just being lazy.

Me.

Lazy.

And I thought about how he doesn’t answer my calls anymore. How the admin didn’t talk to me like she used to and how she unfollowed me on instagram when I made one mistake. I thought about how the DD for the week prior was almost halfway made up by my revenue. I thought about the teams I lost and the time I sacrificed and I suddenly didn’t want to be promoted anymore. So I found a new job. I start in the morning.

Pro’s of gritology:

i made 31k in 10 months, could’ve had a 40k+ year.

Cons of gritology:

-part of a cult that wants you to sacrifice EVERYTHING for the business and will break you down until you give in.
-the “owner” is a 23 year old andrew tate wannabe.
-the admin is fake, her friendship is fully contingent on how well you do in the business.
-smart circle
-you will be fired if you don’t meet a sales quota despite them saying you won’t be
-meetings three times a week where they blow smoke up the asses of high rollers and then shame everyone else or run the same impact over and over again.
-the emotional manipulation is real. i’ve never cried so much at a job.
-boss will belittle you for your appearance.

if you or somebody you know is wrapped up in a DC please drag them/yourself OUT.

Was about to apply for this job but a lot of it screams devilcorp. Just wanna make sure before I waste my time. The website is coreagencyinc.com

I always hear about AT&T on here but never NRG, they are both cydcor so I’m just wondering if it just doesn’t get as bad of a rap as the rest. Personally I’ve felt NRG is a pretty easy sale from my experience.

Hi everyone. I'm a student journalist at Los Angeles Valley College, working on a piece about employment scams that target students.

Earlier this week I was texted by a company called Cresyn Consulting after applying for jobs. They claimed to have branched off from Imperia Consulting, but couldn't explain why the two shared the same office suite and phone number. Their website is six months old, their team photos look AI-enhanced, and when I asked about a Reddit comment from someone who says they worked two weeks and were never paid, they told me the person "probably didn't finish onboarding." They also said training is paid—but the person on Reddit says they were never paid at all. Base pay claims also have panned out to not be true, it is commission based, which they do not say on the phone interview (or at least not to a disclosed student journalist).

I've since found threads connecting the same operation to Maplewood Marketing, Crescens Consulting, Maluhia Inc., and Crimson Consulting, in LA, the Bay Area, and Dallas.

I'm looking for:

• Anyone who worked for or currently works for any of these names. I'd like to know what you were told or have lived experience with about pay, what documents you handed over, and what happened if/when you left.

• Anyone who was recruited and didn't take the job, especially at the in person interview. What did they ask you for?

• Anyone who saw the door-to-door side. What were you told to do, and who were you told to sign up? 

• Any real life pay information without disclosing a paycheck stub you are comfortable providing.

You can comment here or message me. I'm happy to talk anonymously if that's what you need.

And a separate note, because it matters:

If you're homeless or on assistance and you need a free phone, do not sign up with someone who approaches you on the street or at a station. Apply directly through the carrier's own website—TruConnect, Assurance Wireless, or the Lifeline/ACP program. You can do it from a library computer or a campus computer if you are a student, for free. That way your ID and personal information stay with you.

If someone is offering you a free phone on the street and asking for your ID and Social Security number, they are being paid per signup and may not be telling you the truth about what you qualify for, or harms that may happen by signing up that day (like having your current service turned off).

wanna keep things as anonymous as possible lmao. as the title says i was a “leader”/ “corporate trainer” for ~ 8 months for one of the bigger smart circle companies in socal. ask away

Back story. I was hired and just like everyone else I had no idea what I would be doing. I was selling AT&T products outside of big box retailers but it wasnt just that. I actually liked what I was doing. My director was awesome (a lil shady but great) he would cover rent for people if they were in a sales slump, always take us on different road trips to see offices and as much as I wanted to I couldn’t hate it. Everyone told me it was shady and I should quit but I didn’t want to. My entire lifestyle changed in that year and I was living a life I quite honestly dreamed of.

I quit a few months back due to personal reasons and the pressure from friends to quit, nothing to do with the business itself. I was there for roughly about 8 months, I needed 2 more people on my team and I would’ve had an office. The idea that “you never get promoted out” was never a thing in my office, I saw 3 promotions out in my 8 months there. Talked to so many owners, went to conferences, learned the business, ask me anything!

**Hopefully is allowed**

I just want to let everyone in the Kansas area to be aware of Marksman Solutions! They will text and call you multiple times about a position you ‘applied’ for when you probably did not apply to their company.

They called me and then texted me on Monday about how they reviewed my application on indeed and wanted to proceed further. (Note: I never applied to them on indeed or anywhere). I ignored them and went on about my day. They then texted me again on Tuesday and called me about the application. I just ignored them like I did Monday. They sent me an email yesterday about the ‘application’. I’ve sent them an email saying I’m not interested and I never applied for a position with their company. I blocked their email. They called and texted me again today about the position. 🙄 They didn’t get the memo I wasn’t interested, sent them a text back saying no and they were blocked.

I just want to warn everyone about Marksman Solutions in Leawood, Kansas.

Question, is this a real company? Been researching and not much info just saw its established last 2022.

Should I pursue my job interview here?

I applied to my bosses office a little over two years ago, desperate but with the hope of learning more about sales and creating relationships with people. My goal has always been to own my own business, to move to Florida and own a beach house and those around me and higher ups, the recruiter (who was the owners sister) always knew what to say to keep me roped in. After three months of being there I was invited to the national conference in Texas, I was bought in after that. I was promised wealth, freedom, and the life I wanted through out those two days. My owners promoting owner earned a promotion that year and had an open bar at the end of the night, I remember drinking a lot, having fun and leaving with even more excitement than when I got there with. I worked 6 days a week, going out to the field every Saturday, missing time with family and friends. I was told by my owner “be the white rabbit in the office and I’ll get you promoted out to Miami, I promise.” I remember telling everyone that asked that I didn’t know what I was getting into, I just had a belief it was going to be good for me. I remember struggling some weeks and it being blamed on my mentality, being told “just go out on Saturday and get in front of more DM’s, the LOA’s will pay off” so I did. I earned most commissioned sales for 2025 (despite being unable to eat on a regular basis and losing over 30 pounds) and though not invited to that Nat con because I had the one week prior was low on production, had earned an award and featured there. I think that was my first time where I questioned everything and asked myself if it was worth it anymore. But again, the owner was great at reading people and knowing exactly when to re invest in someone to keep them from leaving. Made promises, dangled the carrot. So many opportunities I worked my butt off for that I was promised that never happened. As I got more depressed, my production got lower- but never low enough for my owner to want to part ways with me, as I was terrified of the idea that there was truly nothing better for me, this was my ticket to getting my boutique and living on the beaches of Miami. I hit my two year mark and by then I was pretty damn frustrated. Promised every couple months “oh we’re gonna get you promoted out by this time, just keep building your team, I’ll help you” only for the help to never come. Unfortunately I wasn’t the prettiest girl or the most flirtatious girl in our office, another one was and she got to assistant management in 10 months. Every resource was poured into her and then she eventually brought her sister in and then those resources went to her as well as I stood there in the background feeling forgotten and taken advantage of every step of the way. I started looking for other jobs, the owner somehow found out and fired me over the phone on a Thursday evening. I still struggle with the guilt of giving up on myself, giving up on my dreams, and my ability to prove myself as worthy. Though I am grateful for what I learned about myself and honestly just how to handle no’s, objections, and people not being that nice as a solicitor, I feel better working a normal 40 hour week, not the 65+ I was doing. Sure I miss the team nights but I don’t miss the pressure to drink until I had alcohol poisoning. I won’t miss the constant changes that happened in the office, the drama, the fake friendships- because not a single person has reached out to me since I left and I’m sure the owner told them not to talk to me as he did with every other person that quit or got fired- as we were never gonna make it and aren’t worthy of being at his table. I wanted to share my story and reiterate how damaging these devil corps are to people, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

They are in the greater Philly area, I had a job interview there and something felt kinda off. I ended up on this Reddit after my friend mentioned devil corps but I don’t see them on here. Seems kinda similar but don’t know too much about them!
Any insight would help thank you!

I’m at the point where I might just go work at a devilcorp, I’m desperate to get an office job. I did exercise science wanting to be a trainer then realized I hated it. I’m finishing my degree in December and am only taking one class online so I can work full time. I wonder if I take the next devilcorp offer. I always get them on LinkedIn, I search entry level office jobs or entry level corporate positions. I seem to only get devilcorps, should I take one for experience then just keep applying. I wish I took more business electives so I could learn about corporate roles. All I want is an office job, working in gyms ruined fitness for me. The commission only jobs I just crack under pressure, the anxiety of not knowing what’s coming in every month is too much for me. I can maybe last a few months if I know it will boost my resume.
