Pros
-For a second Chris, the president, will have you fooled into thinking you will own your own branch of the company and in a major city and make loads of money within a year depending on how hard you work. Ask yourself, is that how any legitimate marketing company works? LOL. He later tells you that you can expect to make 40k as an “office owner” and then explains some shady business model where you supposedly get more money but still nothing substantial. -If you pester people hard enough you can trick them into donating, which you will receive some small commission from. Pretty sure barely any of their money goes to charity. See below. -When you see people soliciting donations on an iPad outside of a Ralph’s or any other store...you now know what it’s all about and to look the other way. -Mocking the company with other non-brainwashed employees when you finally realize it’s a pyramid scheme and know you’re going to quit/ are actively seeking different, legitimate job opportunities. -Everyone is high on the job and everyone smokes at work so if that’s a plus for you, cool. -It motivates you to find a legitimate job really doing sales because you realize that this again, a pyramid scheme in which very very few do make any real money.
Cons
-There are many cons involved with this company both in the pro/con sense and in the con artist sense. Google “Devil Corp” and research it before considering working at this pyramid scheme. This is one “marketing company” in a large network of other shady businesses. Google cobra group, Chris Niarcos, etc. There’s a lot to see here. -You’re paid 30 dollars a day to stand on your feet all day to beg for money in the sweltering sun out side of stores. Embarrassing to be seen by friends. -Living with the guilt that you’re conning innocent people who believe 90 percent of their money is going to charity. - Meetings every single morning at 9 o’clock before you “hit the field” (the front of a Ralph’s or a Walmart). - You’re expected to stay til 6, so all in all 9 hours of work for 30 dollars if you don’t get a “sale”. Many days you won’t. Roughly 100 dollars total if you get one so all in all 11 dollars an hour for being on your feet all day, driving from the office, to the site then home. Sweet deal huh? It equals out to be more than 9 hours of work but I’m being generous here. Without a sale that works out to be a little more than 3 dollars an hour. Although if you have a good day where you make more than one sale, and make around 240 total it can make you feel like you’re actually making a little money. But in reality, unless you’re an absolute pest, you won’t be having many of these days. -They convince you that this is a sales job and that you’re learning the art of sales when in reality you’re asking people to donate to a charity under sketchy pretenses. -Boss and weirdo cult members in the scheme pressure you to work saturdays (for no base pay) and to go out to the bar on Friday. You will be judged and treated differently if you don’t (cultish behavior). Oh yeah and they do a morning meeting before the meeting which starts at 8. Better go to that too if you would like to avoid jokes made about you for not attending. -They prey on recent grads and people with limited career options. -As previously touched upon, weirdo brainwashed coworkers who legitimately think that one day they will be making “serious frickin money”
