Complaint Review: DS-Max - Every Major City Nationwide

I feel compelled to write this message to all of the poor DS-Max employees out there, especially the misguided souls who are writing in to this website, so duped by the dream that they cant even begin to comprehend how wrong they are.

Let me first say that I just found this site today. I am a humble business-person living in a large US city who passed under the DS-Max shadow last summer and came out the other side frightened and determined to do something about it. While I wont unveil my plans for revenge at this point, I will say that I am incredibly relieved to have found a place where ex-employees of the company that have shaken off the mental shackles of DS-Max can relate their experiences.

I might have something interesting to this site due to the fact that I wasnt someone who was unsuccessful at the business. As a matter of fact, while I was employed at the company I was the top selling rep in my Division nationwide. The selling came naturally to me. The money I made, from day one, enabled me to bear the horrific conditions I was required to work in. The fact that I made so much money for my boss made it possible for me to refuse being a team leader (though they never stopped asking), skip the morning meetings and evening atmosphere and bow out of Team Nights.

Though I managed to work almost entirely independently of the larger organization (I went in to the office about twice a week to load up with merch and get paid) I will say that I was an extreme case and none of the other employees were allowed such immunity. I was considered dangerous because I didnt buy the company line and wasnt afraid to admit it.

Every attempt was made to see that I did not socialize with the rest of the employees for fear that I might infect them with my disbelief. Theres no doubt I would have been fired for my insolence but, once again, I was really, really good at peddling the worthless junk which DS-Max produces, and the owner I worked under, addicted to the money I brought to him every day, couldnt overcome his greed and let me go.

I chose to stay because my situation put me in need of a way to make fast cash with no commitment, and DS-Max offered me that opportunity. I was lucky. Most were not.

Though only employed by the company for four months, I have collected more sad stories of poor impressionable souls literally sucked dry by the vampires at DS-Max then I care to count.

My younger brother, seeing the large amounts of cash I brought home at the end of every day, wanted to join the company, and I was forced to strictly forbid him (under threat of violence) to ever have anything to do with them.

Some of the offences I witnessed while employed at DS-Max: large-scale tax evasion, severe psychological abuse, defrauding of thousands of civilians in the name of charity, trespassing, distributing of false propaganda, false advertising, promotion of adultery and dishonesty, sexual harassment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

I guess a more harsh way of putting that last one would be kidnapping. Of course nobody called it kidnapping, least of all the victim, but what is it called when a cult society completely brainwashes a young person, systematically cuts them off from friends and family, and keeps them trapped in a web of lies until they are completely dependent on their abductor?

Welcome to the wonderful world of DS-Max. I could go on for days, but you all know the facts (except for the deluded zealots writing in who have just started with the company). Less than 5% of the people who join the company even approach minimum wage.

When the chosen few do succeed it is because they have lied to hundreds (if not thousands) of people, both employees and customers. Anyone still working for the company will look at you blankly and tell you to consider the example of their owner (isnt it a little weird to have an owner?) who has only been in the business for X amount of time and has already made X amount of money.

What they dont realize yet is that this is a necessary lie. In order for the business to succeed, every single person out there working 12 hours a day and making an average of $4.00 per hour must believe that the people in the level above them are living out their dreams.

They must be led to think that if they only put in a few more sixty-hour weeks making barely any money that it will happen to them. Its the only way a pyramid ever works! The oft-maligned owners are guilty, sure, but they are also brainwashed. Theyve dedicated their lives to this company and, to use a common phrase, are past the point of no return.

I will stop now, because I realize Ive been very long-winded. I just want to say that I hope all of you ex-Juicers find the kind of lives you deserve and put your horrible DS-Max experiences behind you. And I hope that those of you currently working towards the big lie take your blinders off and find a decent, honest way to earn a living.

Ask yourself this, do you really want to build a fortune gained by lies and manipulation? What goes around comes around, and when this one comes around its going to be a real son of a b***h.
