marketing job scam beware !!!!-- door to door

This thread is old but I need to comment on this. I am young and wanted to take a gap year to travel while working, this job promised it all...telling me it wasn’t door to door sales and promising me I’d be at the top. If I didn’t make a sale it was ‘my fault’ even though the people on the doorstep were clearly not interested whatever I tried, you will hear the words “juice”, “law of averages” and “attitude” everyday in a cult like ‘morning meeting’ which you have a countdown to and then shout over the sh**ty music “WAYYYY”. This is your form of brainwash, if you aren’t brainwashed enough and have doubts you will be called out for being ‘negative’...you’re not negative you’re just not stupid. You will not be owning your own business nor will you be making a lot of money, hence why everyone below the MD had a rubbish phone and shabby clothes. There are so many sixth form and university graduates who are stupid enough to not go to university or use their degree in exchange for knocking on doors for 12 hours saying the same cr*p, believing that soon they’ll own their own business 😂😂 BUL**HIT. Due to the stress and long hours of the job I’ve been bed bound for days at a time with the manager messaging me “shame that” and taking money out of MY earnings for not having 100% attendance, it’s fu*k*ng disgusting and it should be illegal. How can they say you’re ‘self employed’ when they’re taking YOUR earnings?? It’s simply so they can scam you in to paying over £30 a week for travel and lunch etc while tricking you in to a labour. Don’t be stupid like me or those who think they’re above everyone because supposedly they’ll ‘have their own business soon’ 😂???. It’s an illegal scam, shame on these companies. I am now in a difficult situation, having missed the university deadline and needing a new job asap, having no choice with top grade a levels but to work in mcdonalds for the next year. At least there they’re accountable and I will earn what I deserve. I will not hesitate to report this company for the damages they have made to my entire year. Luckily my best friend and boyfriend have been supporting me + my family but I can’t imagine what it be like for someone who isn’t as privileged to have this. DISGRACEFUL.

Can anybody who has approached this company and is lining up for an interview please read the above comment. This is precisely what happens. It's actually very well described. The word 'cult' definitely comes to mind. I am just surprised that they are still operating in 2019. My 1 day with them happened way back in 2011 or so. I don't think what they are doing is illegal but it is pretty close.

If you fancy amusing yourself, apply for a role but just put absolute crap in your cover letter. You can be as creative as you like. I guarantee you that you will get called for an interview. You could tell them that you have a fear of people and get violent when under pressure and you will be told you have been cherry picked because they believe you have the necessary skill sets to rise to the top. They basically play to people's egos and need for reassurance. The people who stay with this company are the same types of people who end up in cults.

I've recently been targeted by one of these and find the misleading way they are duping and exploiting young people with false ads and promises to be disgusting. I want to raise awareness of these schemes to avoid anyone else falling into their trap. If anyone is willing to talk about their experiences please message me.

Ok great! Dm me and I'll start the interview

Yes, my poor young brother got fleeced by one of those back in 2009 when he graduated.

He's in a good place now though.

I am so glad I came across this. I literally have an interview tomorrow but I will deffo not be going anymore
