Pros

Colleagues are nice because most of them have absolutely no idea they’re being scammed. Need to fill this space for 20 word minimum.

Cons

Work insane hours well below minimum wage. For those who already work there: do the math! For those who just received an interview/offer: run away asap and never look back. This is no joke. You’ll notice that there are plenty of 5 star reviews that get written on the same day. I’ve worked here and that’s because the managers tell their groups to write good reviews. You’ll also botice that that pretty much leaves only 1 star reviews that warn about a scam. If you’ve had an interview or already work there and you’re not convinced, why don’t you ask: 1- For a SIGNED copy of your contract, with both party’s signature (yours and theirs) 2-For a true explanantion of how you get paid. 3-Why everyone gets crammed into one room during “business” trips if the managers are so rich they can apparently buy gold Rolex watches, but can’t even afford a good office, or even a place of their own You’ll find that 1- They won’t be able to give you a signed copy of the contract. Their goal is to make you sign it as quickly ad possible so you don’t really have time to look it through. No signature, no proof that thw contract even exists. 2-There are no base pay or benefits. Period. 3- They’re bot really as rich as you think they are but make it appear so to make it seem like you’ll become a millionaire by doing door to door sales. Watch out because they’re actually pretty good at it. If those red flags aren’t enough, simply do tour research and look uo “the sweatshop of wall st” on youtube or google “the Devil Corps” do see what you’re getting yourself into.

Pros

NONE, if I could give them a negative rating I would.

Cons

They scam you and use you to maximize their sales. They make you work like a slave and shame you for not coming in early/ leaving late just to "hang". They lie to you about what they will be paying you in the beginning, it is all a lie. They're idea of base pay means strictly commission based... No sales=No money despite having to stand out side for 10 hours a day in the heat or the rain, they don't care. All they care about is the money coming in. They are incredibility unprofessional with how they handle employees. This place is the worst and a complete scam.

Pros

Fun people that work there, they have fun team nights at bowling and bars. You aren't stuck at a desk-- because you are selling things on the street.

Cons

One giant scam. Don't let them fool you about being an advertising start up. They are part of a larger, insidious network that's been taking advantage of ambitious, hardworking people for years. It's a borderline pyramid scheme. Do your research, Google Devil Corp. and the Sweatshop of Wall Street.
