I've noticed that this little man, Pierre Marcella is still up to the same antics from NC now to MD. Each time there are several reports filed and complaints made about him and his scandalous operations, the man changes what he promotes of his sorry excuse for a company and moves to a different location.

How pathetic this man is but the most pathetic thing is that he is still in business. For those of who that are hearing about this for the first time and thinking about starting an "entry-level managing" postion, this is how they conduct business....

Misleading Job Posts- The ad in the paper or online states that it is an entry level marketing management position with a starting salary between $38000-$42000 a year.. Big lie.. All these idiotic little scumbags will have you do is sell DTV setups at a SAMS club or BestBuy. They intentionally send you to low income neighborhoods that are impossible to make money. since you will be operating as an independent distributor you are only putting yourself at risk and not Pierre Marcella. The job is entirely commission based therefore the salary advertised by them is false. The average distributor makes $200 a week (if your good) after working about 60 hours so if you do the math, this is way below minimum wage and a complete waste of time. He has been in business for a year and has only made 800 a month if that. There are no management positions available, their plan is to have you work for as long as possible and make as much money as they can from you while they can until you get sick of their despecable business and personalities and QUIT!! They will give you motivational speeches to keep you in their game for as long as possible.

Do the research people all these business out there that have "entry-level" marketing positions are all from Smart Circle. Just do a google search on Smart Circle scams.

Fraud- After your day of work you return to the office to get settled up/paid. You hand in checks and cash made for the day and they calculate your commission and pay you in cash..If there is not enough cash on hand to pay you, the remaining balance is recorded in a security account which you can withdraw your money from at anytime it becomes available, considering you still work for the company...The problems comes when people quit and try to get the money they have earned back..So many people have experienced the same problem..They call this disgraceful and inhumane character (Pierre Marcella) and he tells everybody he will mail them a check but NEVER does..The few people that have got their money back are the ones that had time to actually go to his office repeatedly and request their money and in some cases threaten to take legal action.

Sexual Harassment-This has been an ongoing issue at this mans company and the fact that no action has been taken against him is incredibly disturbing..From touching women and men inappropriately, to asking women out on dates within the company, making offensive remarks and on one occasion that i remember clearly while still at the company..the manger Pierre Marcella had the leaders in his office including myself and he decided to discuss the women he has had sexual relations within the company as well as other sub companies he works with...ACTION NEED TO BE TAKEN AGAINST THIS PRIMITIVE, CLINICALLY ILL AND IMMORAL MAN! If you want a real job then go work for a real company.

Unprofessionalism-The most unprofessional bunch i have ever worked with and Pierre Marcella is the main culprit considering that he encourages and promotes this bad behavior instead of standing aganst it. With his companies website stating "We are dedicated to 100% professionalism on any given day. You will find that our representatives are courteous, professional, and committed to customer satisfaction." The most common is the unecessary and ignorant deragatory remarks made towards peoples backgrounds and this distorts the employees comfort level.

To be honest and simple...STAY AWAY FROM OR ANY COMPANY THAT he works with by Pierre Marcella!! A list of companies that he works with will be coming out soon...

....Do the research people all these business out there that have "entry-level" marketing positions are all from Smart Circle. Just do a google search on Smart Circle scams....
