Going on Instagram and seeing all the people that you knew who are still in it. It’s kinda hard to watch. I can’t feel bad for them, though. Because at this point, they have to know what they’re in. Especially the ones who expanded and came back. They know what’s on the other side of expansion. They just keep recycling people. And then they make the new people think that they have these New sales people that came in on the first day, and hit Bell= 2 sales .They will bring people from other offices too. Or recycle their old guys. And make the new people think that it’s so easy. When in reality they’re sending experienced people to hit the field. They say they’re Building belief in the New people. we all know the only way to actually move up is to bang the boss. It doesn’t matter how good you are in this business they won’t promote you because you’re good at your job. They only promote people that they like. They will get rid of people. to give an established team to a person that they like better.

I applied for this job on LinkedIn for a Graduate Management & a Graduate Marketing role.

Prepared, attended 3 interviews, passed em all and got the call that I've cleared the interview. I was so happy that I got a "desk" job in a job market like London for a fairly nice pay for a beginner.

I booked flights from my home country just for this job & even had to find and rent a whole new apartment just because they needed a permanent address to make my contract. I spent £2,000+ even before I started this bullshit job.

Went on the field a few days ago thinking let's give it a try, it's okay life hits you bad sometimes.

I went, there's so many downsides of this particular role, and on top of that, in my mind I was prepared for a desk job for marketing or management but ended up with a job that makes me go door to door selling services for a brand.

Very demotivated and feeling shit about myself.

Make sure you do a background check on the company and then prepare for it!!!

This post really has no meaning i just wanna rant

Im a manager for a D2D pest control team going into my 2nd year managing 3rd year working. When I tell some people what I do some of them say what I do is bad, that I should quit and find something real or that im preying on people, etc. but to be honest? I don’t why i should feel bad at all. I feel like i have made many people’s lives better and I sell a service that people need. I’m just gonna talk about my experience as a manager of a D2D pest control
Team, and you guys can tell me if I’m tripping and I’m a terrible guy.

After my first year of selling over 150k (60k commission at 19) I got a manager spot. When I did my recruitment the initial ads and anyone I talked to about I said it was a D2D job and that it was going to be hard but very rewarding. I spent all winter on 2 calls a week with 10 people (I didn’t build a 100 man team like others only 12 so I could have time to care about and know everyone) and tried my hardest to train everyone for 4-6 months so they were all ready

When we got to where we were selling we were staying in a university campus and all had single apartments paid for by us, and we sold for 4 months, i lead correlation every morning, not some loud chant just a room where they could all
Ask me questions (my biggest thing I tought as a manager is just be chill, most guys out here have super salesy scripts, I didn’t give out scripts everyone built their own script taliored to themselves. If you just be a reasonable guy and talk like yourself you’ll be surprised how many more people will be down to talk to you), I had my room open every night for all my guys and I shadowed everyone or they shadowed me once every two weeks minimum. As well we went out every Sunday and we all got super close as a team.

By the end of August I had only one of my 12 reps “leave” (he went to be a technician for our company and was a top 5 tech) and the average earnings for our team in the summer was 42k per person, I sold 450k myself and team did 1.6mil

Now I’m not saying all of this to recruit anyone. I didn’t put any names of anything or where I’m at for that reason but what I want to know is I feel like since all my guys want to come back, I’m getting guys out to explore the worlds and make new friends, and make on average 4x what a kid their age learns in the summer while also learning life long skills that will never leave, why is what I do such a bad thing to people. I think with commission only sales if you have the right leaders and environment it’s way better then a hourly wage but is this true? Even if I’m the best manager in the world can I make D2D work and be a good job option for the people I hire or did I just get lucky last summer. I’m asking because i genuinely care about the people I hire and I feel like I’m putting the people I hire into a good spot for this coming summer but if this isn’t the right industry what else should I get into? I’m also a 3rd year student for a finance major

Also this can be a AMA for anyone curious about the D2D industry, I’ll be as transparent as I always am

I got a job offer here not sure if there’s money to be made here but if anyone has had any experience here or let me know any feedback.

Outside of the stupid name, I noticed this new devilcorp pop up in Dallas, Texas. Anyone else heard of them?

Made a throwaway account just in case but I unfortunately found out about this subreddit and the existence of devilcorps too late. I applied to this job: AT&T Retail Sales Consultant https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=c0ce0f7d0985075f&from=appshareios

I applied on Sunday. Then was immediately called on Monday for an interview which honestly should’ve raised immediate red flags. I told them to reschedule for a Tuesday interview and they did and honestly that first interview didn’t raise any red flags. They asked me about my background and that they were partnered with AT&T and Costco.

How could I? Since those are two very well known companies. Then the second interview happened on Thursday which they then called me later at 4 PM to inform me that they would like to offer me a position. I was happy so I accepted like an idiot and they want me to come in on Friday for orientation and to sign things (I’m assuming a contract).

I had already declined an $18/hr waitress job for this and by this point, I already graduated and have been job searching for 5 months and parents want me to get a job already so I’m stressed and just at a loss now.

Any job searching advice would help so thank you in advance. For reference I do have 4 years of restaurant experience. Might do door dash in the NYC area after this but life feels like it just sucks :(

Apparently, if a DC has changed its name multiple times on insta, this pops up when you attempt to follow.

Im having a particularly hard time getting over this one women, she used to be my boss at a devilcorp company, I was much younger and she allowed things to happen in and out of the office, I was there for a year and we had gotten very very close, now mix that in with us both being women, and it being a devilcorp company, if anyone’s ever been inside one of these, yk how hard it is to get out because it’s basically like an office cult, this was b2b in a very big city, I always admired the type of person she was but I could never get behind what she did for work, the office she’s in she got lucky with, the location, the people, I didn’t have a bad time at all, ofc when I realized everything about the company, I wanted to leave, I left 2 months later, and took me no time to move on from that environment but I realized just how much I missed her, I had never told her I liked her, neither did she, I personally felt too afraid, there was too big of an age gap, she had a kid older than me, there were many things, back at the office it was as if she wanted more but held herself back a ton. but I had tried to reach out much later and I received minimal to no effort, didn’t match what I was hearing her tell everyone else about how “messed up she was”, fast forward now it’s been a year

hi all,
i almost fell for one of these once back when I was with my job, but now i don't have a job (quit for a job that flaked on me) and have an offer from another company. I can't find anything about this specific company, that's how I found out about the other one, but as I said I don't have a source of income rn, have a trip in like two weeks, and NEED something, is it worth taking until I find something better? when I talked to them (my only interviews before the actual offer were on zoom btw) they interviewed me and brought me through the whole "management training" schpeal, and the job seemed different than the description. WWYD in my position?
