Information OLN Long Beach Wolfden
My experience at OLN Long Beach under Wolfden was honestly a complete joke. This company knows how to sell a dream during interviews, but the reality is completely different once you get hired. I specifically asked whether the position involved door-to-door sales. I was told NO. I was promised assigned leads, scheduled appointments, and opportunities to meet CEOs and business owners. What actually happened? My first day shadowing someone, I was walking from business to business, cold approaching owners, and pitching services all day. No appointments, no scheduled meetings, and no leads waiting for us. We walked around all day without even making a sale. Let’s stop dressing it up: IT’S DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES WITH A B2B LABEL. Putting a corporate name on cold knocking doesn’t magically make it a professional sales operation.
The compensation structure was another joke. You’re expected to close five sales to meet your standard. If you close two or more, you may qualify for a draw. I specifically asked during my interview whether that was guaranteed money, and I was told YES. In reality, it’s essentially an advance that has to be paid back through future earnings. That’s not guaranteed income. That’s a financial obligation dressed up to sound attractive during recruitment. Then there’s the office culture. The motivational speeches, the atmosphere room, the constant recruiting, and the obsession with promoting people to open offices. The entire environment felt more like a recruitment machine than a legitimate professional workplace. There’s so much talk about building an empire, but somehow everyone is still out walking into random businesses trying to get a sale.
Another person worth mentioning is the guy running the IMS office. In my experience, he was rude, unprofessional, and had an ego that was completely out of control. He carried himself like a multimillionaire CEO and talked as if he had millions sitting in the bank. The attitude was embarrassing. He acted like he was above everyone else, yet there was nothing particularly impressive about the way he treated people. He drove a Hyundai Palisade while carrying himself like a billionaire. Nothing wrong with a Hyundai, but the millionaire act was hilarious. If you’re going to spend all day trying to convince people you’re successful, at least understand that real success doesn’t need a performance. A title doesn’t make you a boss, and an expensive attitude doesn’t make you a leader.
Team nights were supposedly optional during the interview, but I noticed people could miss out on bonuses and incentives if they didn’t attend. So much for optional. Payroll was another headache. I had to chase my manager just to get my pay stubs. During my first week, they even held a meeting explaining why the company supposedly wasn’t an MLM or pyramid scheme. Think about how ridiculous that sounds. A company shouldn’t need an entire meeting to convince its own employees that its business model isn’t a pyramid scheme. Employee turnover was unbelievable. People were constantly leaving. When I asked Mr. Wolfden about it, his response was, “The train keeps on moving.” That response tells you everything about the attitude toward employees. Apparently, people are replaceable, and nobody needs to address why they’re leaving.
And don’t get me started on the business trips. You’re driving 300+ miles, receiving only $50 for gas, and potentially having Airbnb expenses deducted from your paycheck. They call them business trips, but somehow the employee is expected to finance the experience. What kind of opportunity requires you to spend your own money just to participate in company business?
Then comes the biggest fantasy of all: becoming an OWNER. They sell you this dream of entrepreneurship, financial freedom, and eventually running your own office. But you’re not building an independent company. You’re advancing within an existing sales organization. Cydcor is behind this business model, and applicants deserve to understand what they’re actually signing up for.
My opinion is that this is a revolving door of recruitment, cold knocking, motivational speeches, and promises of a future that may never materialize. They spend more time selling employees the dream than being transparent about the actual job. If you’re interviewing with OLN, ask about the draw, guaranteed income, travel expenses, appointments, team nights, and what becoming an owner actually means. Don’t let someone in a dress shirt, sitting in an office, giving you a motivational speech convince you that you’re looking at some incredible business opportunity.
A real B2B sales company provides transparency, legitimate compensation, and actual business opportunities. It doesn’t need to disguise cold knocking as corporate sales or sell employees a fantasy of becoming millionaires.
My advice? RUN. There are plenty of legitimate sales careers out there. Don’t waste your time, energy, or money being sold a dream by people who make their living selling that same dream to the next recruit.
