Smart circle is a major advertising firm world wide. Employed by every major league baseball team. Also employed by many other major sports teams - as well as Disney, home depot, sears and many others. George Steinbrenner write a 6 page write on smart circle in the New York Times - he was very happy with smart circle. This is all fact and can be easily checked. warm regards,

It is a scam. I worked for smartcircle and it is a pyramid scam. Yes, they do hire ANYONE. It doesnt matter what you do or say on your interview because they will hire you if you show up to the second interview and stay the whole day. A box with a smiley face painted on would get the job if it was issued a social security number. They wont fire you for not performing well though which is nice....but you dont get paid which isnt nice. Overall, someone would have a better future starting out as a janitor at McDonalds with the potential to be a fry-boy one day.

"I am sick of them wasting my time and intelligence." - Anonymous Great comment. I am certainly glad you proved your intelligence with your report. Very nice and concise. In fact, I can see you are a genius. Anyway, if you had been hired (and no they do not hire everyone) and bothered to stay with the company, maybe you would have learned more about businesses. You, know, how they work and such. There really is not much for me to rebuttal with your comments. I used to work for smart circle, though not in the Virginia, DC area. It is not a scam. You can make a ton of money opening a few offices. It happens to be a great business model, you just have to play your odds, be great at what you do, be persistent and work hard. They can teach you great people skills, which are important at any job, and a strong work ethic; a work ethic, i might add, that a lot of Americans lack. I learned a lot in a short timespan. Why did I leave? Because making quick money was not as important as learning the career for which i went to college. A lot of people can run a business, but not too many have what it takes to start their own. Just look at the corporate world. You have a few owners or founders, a couple presidents who are not the actual founders, a few vice presidents, even more managers and head of departments and then you have the worker bees. Most worker bees try hard to become at least VP, but I am sad to say not everyone makes it even that far. Look, if you do not have an entrepreneurial spirit, you are right, smart circle is not for you.
