Complaint Review: Stallion Inc JP Consulting Whitney Myrick Jonathan Perry Cydcor - Nashville Tennessee

I'd like to respond to those employees touting the "you don't have what it takes to own your own business!!" mantra. No one doubts that owning one's own business is tough, challenging, and requires drive and effort beyond the typical workweek. However, is all of the effort really worth it when the business you will own is another clone of Cydcor? I can get behind anyone's decision to open a bed and breakfast, a boutique, a real estate business, and so on. There are many small business that are great ventures and very rewarding endeavors. But do you really want to struggle through the ranks when all you will be at the end is the owner of one of these unethical sweatshops? You don't gain the skills to become a small-business entrepreneur after going through the "management training program"; you gain the skills to attempt to run the same system as Cydcor. Was that really your dream?

For all purposes of keeping this statement ananymous I will refrain from using my real name. Any way this company, companies, or grandchildren of cydcor; whatever you want to call it is the example of dishonesty. I unfortunately worked for this company for about four months early on in 2007. My manager/ owner's name was Whitney Myrik whos name I hope remains tainted for the rest of her existence. The only reason that I worked there that long is because I made just enough money to pay the bills. Lets keep in mind that I looked for a job for about 5 months before landing this winner, because coming from a six and a half year stint in the Army I did not have the on paper skills that most decent employers were looking for. I went in for the three stage interview process and was gladly excepted to join the ranks of sleezy dishonest salespeople. My mentor and team leader Lewis (who was 20 years old) put me to work right away getting me through the initial brain washing process, and I was promoted to Team Leader in less than four weeks. This is where things went south. They give you a territory mine was lewisburg which was an hour away, and you are told to say that you are the new account manager for bellsouth for that area (your not but still told to say that because it makes people trust you) you then work on trying to convince the buisness owner to purchase services to jack his or her bill up while maintaining the idea that he needs it and it will save him money in the long run. Now I will say this. In some rare cases you did end up saving the buisness owner money but at the expense of buying into a three year contract. I went into a store one day and was told by the owner that stallion the company that I represented was on a website for being a scam. I right away began searching for a new occupation because from what I seen through research. Stallion was a sinking ship. I was also told by Lewis one morning that because I wasnt meeting my sales quotas due to me training new hires that I was lacking dedication. Now lets back up a minute. I have a 20 year old kid who is playing buisnessman and still lives with his mom telling me a Army Vet for 6 and a half years not to mention 11 months in iraq I have no dedication. It was all I could do just to walk away and never look back. Anyway here I am middle of Febuary and I havent recieved my W2 statement for taxes. I called today to check up on it and found that Stallion is closed down(wooohooo) and Whitney mailed off my W2 last thursday which for those of us keeping count was Feb 7. Eight days after the deadline day to send it out. Way to go. If you have an interview with any of these companies please for your wallets sake dont take it.

I wanted to get some facts straight for research purposes regarding JP Consulting and it's beginnings: JP Consulting is an office that was promoted out of an office in Charlotte, North Carolina called FP Marketing. FP Marketing was promoted out of another office in Atlanta, and that office was more than likely promoted from another office, and so on. The structure of this type of marketing firm is as follows: DS Max created three companies: Innovage, Cydcor, and The Smart Circle, all of which are multi-level marketing schemes. Each of these "father" companies spawned smaller, individual offices such as FP marketing. When an individual office reaches a particular size, it is allowed to spawn or "promote" another office, thus creating JP Consulting. Once JP Consulting reaches a certain size, it will promote out another office, and another, and another. JP Consulting is in no way related to Stallion. Jonathan Perry, the owner of JP Consulting, came from a Charlotte office owned by Malcolm Elavia, who came from an office in Atlanta. The only connection JP Consulting has with Stallion is that they are all connected to Cydcor, which is connected to Innovage and The Smart Circle, which are all children of the Godlike company DS Max. Google DS Max and you will find an infinite amount of information regarding its subsidiaries and marketing ploys.

I just want too say that my time at stallion inc. was wonderful the things i learned you can apply to everyday life. If you have a problem with stallion make your problem with stallion not Jp consulting two offices run different. Whitney is not dishonest, deceitful, or selfish throughout my time of working you learn to be open minded if your and let me Whit will speak the truth weather you like or not she hepled me out awhole.Jp is a very smart owner that I got to know and must say that working for either company is great if you cant handled door to door business sales then no the job is not for you so dont down them for your donwfall get a new job that makes you happy and for.
