CYDCor - Chris A-water CYDCor, ComQuest Marketing ripoff, lied, dishonest, misrepresented, took advantage, shady manipulation White Plains New York
It's amazing how many ads you find for Comquest Marketing online, without finding out what it is all about.
They feed you the opiate of how you could one day be in management while at the same time telling you - though not directly that it is ok to lie to customers.
Every single sales person I went out with on training lied in some way, or did something morally wrong to get a close.
WE SHOULD have our own team nights and talk about how much comquest screwed us over with it's manipulative methods, like team nights. They pressure you into going - and if you don't they get pissed off.
not to mention the Manager and Asst. Manager think that it's ok to hit on the girls constantly. The Manager even took two on a trip with him.
Not only do the workers pitch, but they are constantly getting pitched to by managers, and just like the product we were selling - the managers are trying to build up something to be greater than it is.
For example, telling us that most people make a certain amount of money a week - say 1000. In truth it'll end up being 600. They have childish rewards for those who close the most.
The worst part is that they have these people working hard for their benefit while they keep promising management.
Most of the people who have worked there a while will talk about how great the job is. And most of them are still living at home with Mom and Dad and don't own cars or are driving cars that are about to fall apart.
No one gets fired from comquest they decide to leave.
Then they want you to be dishonest with each other - never talk about how bad your day is. It's just another form of their control over the worker.
They have you working sales in a market that's saturated with sales people. A market they move people through every 1-2 months.
Everyone you'd end up trying to sell to has already been attempted by someone before you.
The most obvious indicator of the shadyness of comquest marketing is that you don't veen find out what the job is about until you go on your second interview.
While working there, I never witnessed a single sale made by another rep that I felt was made by honest means

We SHOULD have an exCydcor team night!
They're all bad. And unfortunately all VERY SIMILAR. Bastards.
I previously defended Cydcor, Com Quest Marketing, Northside Marketing, Marketing Endeavors and CarterMorris Inc all over the internet, before and after i quit, thinking back on it all now i just feel silly.
Looking back at it now i am beyond relieved that i quit and i look back at my time with Cydcor as a waste of time and energy, and there is still alot of amazing people working for them and its a shame because its a waste of talent as well. (You guys rock and i love you still and i wish you the best and hope you find what you're looking for without getting corrupted like our owners- i don't write this to bash you, you) are all hard workers and amazing people who i'll never forget- i give you credit for still plowing along through it all)
I learned some simple sales skills that you can learn from a book, and though i made my share of money it wasn't worth it as i even cheated my own relatives by switching them to a service i thought and was told by my management was cheaper and better for them. So i must have screwed over a large number of people that i previously thought i was helping.When i brought it to my manager he informed me that he had no idea why the bill was like that. Nice.
These people have no morals whatsoever and karma is a b***h.
To this day i still regret that i hadn't looked up Cydcor on the internet earlier and saved myself the trouble. I'm not going to lie, i made a lot of money, but it's just not worth it in the long run.
People may say "oh, you just couldn't cut it", i know, i said the same thing, but i DID cut it., i made a lot of money and i was very good at what i did, i was a leader and all that jazz, but i look back at it all with total shame.
I should have thought things were shady when they told me i would have to pay for my own gas to and from the field,
that i had no choice but to drive coworkers into the field and even home, that i should pay for my "day of o"s lunch, that saturday meetings were mandatory (although they were repeats of things we went over a million times), that we need to withold information about cydcor from our "new guys"...
and the best...
that we have to 'build break build" our new guys on our teams. I learned that when i became a leader and i look back on my leader breaking me and how i was in tears until he built me back up again.
I was also told "why the hell not, we should hire them cuz they're hot". My boss dated his staff. Regularly. And loved checking porn where we all could see in his office. Smooth. Like sandpaper buddy.
Girls were sexually harassed and nothing was done about it, the guy continues probably to this day to work there while 2 girls quit because of him.
A coworker was told he had to have visiting road trip people stay at his place because it "would be a good learning experience"- the people were at his house before he had the chance to say no.
We were told our friends stressed us out and they didn't understand and they'll be working at Papa Johns while we have our own office. I call bullshit on that. And one guy was even told his answering maching message on his personal cellphone wasn't professional enough and to change it.
Oh yes, and boots my coworker had been wearing for 3 weeks in the field were suddenly not professional enough after she claimed a coworker had made unwanted advanced to her. All of a sudden it was "would Brandie wear those boots? I dont think so". Ummm sure buddy- We aren't Brandie Rucks, if you hadn't noticed.
This mother of three that begam working with me thinking it was a legit marketing job ended up not getting a paycheck for 5 and a half weeks after being promised one after two, then got offered an advance of $100 just to get her by. Three kids on a hundred bucks for 3 weeks plus just does not work.
The topping on the cake was watching our dear Avie Roth rip into my coworkers telling them that they don't know their goals so maybe they should rethink their job and they dont know their team members well enough (after only knowing them for a week) and you've been here for 4 months and you're not in assistant management...why? Maybe you should rethink your career oppertunities. These poor kids who ate slept and breathed Cydcor looked like they would burst into tears. It was their Siddartha telling them they sucked. So sad.
Check out this website and you'll understand Cydcor and its little subsidiaries like Northside, CarterMorris, Pinnacle, Com-Quest (NY-Chris Auwarter, Jonathans promoting manager)Marketing Endeavors (GA- Brandie Rucks, Chris Auwarters promoting manager), etc...

they are all the same, they just have different owners.
check out www.cydcoruniversity.com as well for proof that they all go by the same crap, or just notice the similarities between:
www.cartermorrisinc.com and
www.comquestmarketing.com and
www.marketingendeavors.com
.... its actually kind of amusing!
Or you can yahoo search for "DS-MAX the aftermath", that page is informative as well....
I'm just glad i can look back at it and laugh now, and i hope you all check this out it might save you the pain it caused me. And all you guys must have worked there after me and Chris is still doing the same thing to everyone else.
