The Marketing Team, Danata's Cult, Cydcor SO LOW, This place is like a bad dream! Ripoff Baltimore Maryland
I responded to several ad's on online job boards for entry level jobs and immediately recieved calls from three different companies to set up interviews, I was offered the "opportunity" to come back for a second interview and day of observation at all three. The first interview I had was with Venture Marketing, this interview lasted maybe five minutes before I was asked to come back in for a second interview, I later declined because I thought it to be shady.
At The Marketing Team my interviewer seemed to be genuine and the interview even lasted more then five minutes! So, I decided to give it a shot and go to the second interview. While waiting in the reception area another guy coming for his second interview and I were talking and he mentioned that he had a suspision that all of these companies were somehow connected. He was promplty asked to step out in the hallway, and I never saw him again.
Now, I wonder why the red flags didn't go off. But, I was just about to graduate college and was willing to give anything a chance. On my day of observation my interviewer was enthuasastic about the business and she was good at what he did, which I now see as sugar coating the fact that for the next two weeks I would be working over ten hour days for a commision that only ammounted to far less then minimum wage. But, again I was ready to give anything a chance, and was excited at this "opportunity."
Over the next two weeks I trained and wasn't paid a dime, eventually they put me out on my own where I made one sale, and only saw a portion of what I thought I had earned. I worked a total of 40 hours on my own where I spent countless dollars on gas, put countless miles on my car, and had my pitch rejected countless times.
I was also told countless times about the "opportunity" ahead of me if I kept working hard. I must say I was motiviated every day when I left the office both in the morning and in the evening. I now know that atmosphere both in the morning and evening was a very important part of the business and was a mind numbing way to motivate the slaves and manipulate them into always thinking about the big picture while overlooking the present reality. My reality was a draining bank account and a failing automobile. My big picture was a mirage.
Once I started to see faces disapear I started asking questions. That's when i finally snapped out of it and got myself out of this cult like business. I can say that this was a totally worthless experience and I was duped. When I went to quit I was told that I wasn't working hard enough. I wish these people everything they deserve in life.

"Opportunity"
#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Fri, October 20, 2006
"Opportunity" is Cydcor's biggest lie. Cydcor has about 2,000 employees. Most stay less than 4 weeks, when they find out that the average weekly pay is less than $300 and with the hours they work (10 hours a day) it is less than minimum wage. With such a high turnover rate every year Cydcor has to hire 18,000 people to have 2,000 people doing door-to-door sales. Of the 18,000 people, less than 100 become owners in a year. Most owners do not make it. Every year 100 owners close shop. Cydcor believes that the only way they can get people to do door-to-door sales is to lie: hence this "opportunity" and their recruting ads do not tell you the true nature of the job. They are not concerned with the high turnover rate. To them it is just the law of the averages. If they hire 200 guys and if 10 of them stay for 4 weeks, that's good enough. Because next week they will hire another 200 guys.
