Pros

Met new people that also quit with me

Cons

Do not waste your time being apart of this actual pyramid scheme. The only way you will succeed is by mindlessly following their fake marketing tools. You are a glorified street beggar, to say the least. The only marketing you do is manipulation tactics in order to con people out of their money on a daily basis. They say your hours are 9-6 but that really means 9 until you figure out how to scrape up enough money to reach a goal each day (in order to make money for people above you). They expect you to have a “whatever it takes” mentality which means walking up to people in parking lots and asking them for them money. There is no consistency in “rules” and they will say one thing and punish you for another by aimlessly creating these rules on a whim. You work off commission with no base line and they will purposely put you in terrible areas to see if you can make enough money for your own commission. They set you up for failure. I still can’t believe I worked for this scam, but at least I can look back & laugh at how they all believe they’ll be millionaires.

Pros

Potential for high earnings. Employee bonding nights. You can take away good sales tactics.

Cons

This company has been in the Denver area for at least 3 years. They have changed their name since I've worked for them, and I cannot find any information on the company under the name they carried when I was employed there. But the director of operations, Brandon, is the same "CEO" from the company I worked with. They offer jobs to basically anyone, and play it up as an "entry level marketing position", using lots of buzzwords, telling you about all their big clients. They try hard to sell the job to you. They are very vague about what you will actually be doing with the company until you are hired. It is a pyramid scam, and earnings are based almost completely on commission. They place you outside of King Sooper's gas stations to sell mediocre car washing products, or windshield chip repairs. The product they sell may have changed, but it is the same system. You meet at the office early, usually 7am dressed in business professional, do sales training (role playing), then everyone changes into casual clothes, loads up their cars with product, and heads out to the assigned gas station or store for the day. You work sometimes until 8pm before returning to the office with leftover product. While you make all the sales, the director or CEO or whatever new title he has chosen, makes most of the commission from your sales. Another review mentions them changing names and offices, and I would be interested to know what other names they have used. No benefits.
