I can't believe that Danata is still running her scam company! I was one of the lucky ones to get out a while ago and I also was lucky enough to wise up pretty quickly to the MLM scam but my god! I am completely unable to understand how she gets away with this! How are there any naive young professionals out there who are desperate enough for attention and having low enough self esteem to work for these companies? I can say this because I myself fell into these catagories for some amount of time but with the massive turn-over rate that the had I am shocked that there is an under 30 professional (the easies targets and the only ones hired) left in Maryland who aren't on to the scam! I heard rumors through people I know who were manipulated into the company (then called Advertising Endeavors, now called The Marketing Team) that Danata's office was only 4-5 people and that she relocated and changed names so that she would be able to manipulate more people who were already warned about Advertising Endeavors. You may be wondering about the ultra-gereric names of the cydcor companies. The reason they are all called things like that (the company Danata's Advertising Endeavors was spawned from was called The Marketing Firm...how original) is actually so that when the poor college kids get called back in for that interview (which every single person does so don't feel special if you did) and they try to research the company online, the name is so vague and generic that a search engine pops up with like 500 matches. That way it is more difficult to get to the large amounts of bad publicity out there about them, Pretty funny that there was still enough negative things written that Danata had to change the name of the company and move to a new office to try to hide. What kind of reputable company would do this?? I'm not here to trash talk Danata's clothes, make-up, strange behavior, or abscence of personal life. What I am here to do is question the business practices and warn others to not waste their time. Even if you do make it to management (I hear 1 in a million does!) chances are you'll neg out and quit, get shut down by the cydcor dynasty, or never make enough money to survive (like Danata) BUT if you are one of the lucky chosen ones who kisses the right a*s with the cydcor bosses, has the right cydcor look, and most importantly, is willing to be brainwashed into a cydcor clone, the very best you can hope for out of the deal is working 15 hour days, living in a shanty house with other company members who rotate in and out in and out, having to be ashamed enough of what you do to change the name of your company and move, AND to top it all off, people are constantly trash talking you on the internet.
