r/Devilcorp

Hey everyone — first time posting here, so I’m not totally sure if this is the right subreddit, but I could really use some advice.

I’m 21 and about to graduate college at the beginning of May, so I’m deep in the job-hunting process right now.

I applied on Indeed for an “Entry Level Event Assistant” position listed under a company called Live Free. A couple of hours after applying, I received a message about the role but the message came from a completely different company called Relentless Marketing.

Naturally, I started doing some research. I honestly couldn’t find much information about Relentless Marketing besides a very poorly designed website. I also checked LinkedIn and couldn’t find a single person who currently works or has ever worked at this company, which immediately raised some red flags for me.

I had an initial Zoom call with them this morning that was supposed to go over basic information and see if I’d be a good fit. The meeting was just me and one woman, and oddly enough, the name displayed on her Zoom account wasn’t even hers, it was supposedly the CEO’s name (according to their website)

She asked me very basic questions about who I am and why I applied, and after that she launched into what felt like a long rant filled with buzzwords, vague numbers, and name-dropping big companies like Apple and T-Mobile without really explaining what the job actually involves. (Meanwhile, this was an event assistant position, not anything sales related)

At this point, I’m almost positive something feels off or potentially scam-like, but I wanted to see if anyone here has heard of this company or experienced something similar.

They scheduled me for another call tomorrow morning for what they’re calling a “formal interview,” and honestly the whole situation feels questionable. Would you go through with the second interview, or does this sound like something I should avoid altogether?

I call complete bullshit but just want to know what others think. Thanks!

- minimum wage plus commissions supposedly

- work for breast cancer charity, ask for donations outside of stores

- morning meetings every day, have to wear suit to these and then can wear a tshirt and dress pants for the field (apparently the meetings are paid though)

- company is fairly new since february of this year

- owner moved from this location from 2 others at different named companies, seems like she stayed in each area for about 6 months

- team nights like bowling, escape rooms, ect time to time

- put employees "against" each other, competing for "leadership"

-says owning a business can be in the future

-company under a company with others who do other charity stuff and at&t

- told to record sale pitch, refresh, build more confidence, network

- company has previously gone to vague conferences with not much info abt the conference anywhere

- 9-6 but they "let" you work an extra hour sometimes

- lots of younger adults, not many older people are seen in their social media

-hired fairly quickly, yet was told they were interviewing out of 300 applicants

Title and they offer commission only pay

I recently watch a YouTube of these men Luke Walker and Justin Cobb from BMGroup who would embarrass and refuse to pay their workers. So out of curiosity for anyone in this subreddit,what was the weirdest devilcorp that you have ever seen? Was the “CEO” like a Justin Cobb? I worked in this devilscorp for one day and this lady would embarrass me in the field because I was afraid of dogs and would tell everyone.

I can confirm that Key Marketing (based out of Sequim, Wa) is in fact a DevilCorp. They are under the Smart Circle umbrella and the owner split off from Fine Line Marketing out of Tacoma, WA.

The day of this posting was supposed to be my first day. I went in for my orientation on Friday after doing unpaid training online and doing a "vetting" call on zoom conveniently scheduled for the time I'd be driving to said orientation. In the orientation they gave us the whole "5step" pitch and a lot of vague info about the whole thing without giving any actual information. I did my research over the weekend and connected the dots.

Stay clear of these scumbags.

I see them every time dressed in business casual and I want to scream for them. Like if it’s awkward for me it must be HORRID for them

Does anyone know if Ignitix is a scam or really anything about them? I had a pre screening call with them today (5 min) and they scheduled an in person interview during that time. It felt too quick in my opinion but I’m not sure. I’m not seeing much about them online and don’t want to waste my time. Please let me know!

Hey everyone,

I realized I should talk about this company on this subreddit, but I've posted this in r/Charlotte and thought to bring here.

They're both located in Charlotte. I actually came across posts about them on the r/charlotte subreddit from about four years ago and wish I had paid more attention back then. I spent over a week being employed by them, and honestly, I should’ve listened to my instincts. It seems like nothing has really changed from what was said in those posts.

All of their listings were framed as marketing roles, but they ended up being sales positions. They never made it clear in the job postings or interview process that you are actually selling something. It wasn't until orientation that they talked about their partners and "helping" people with gutter guards. ANAM focused on AT&T. These are just direct sales jobs, it has nothing to do with marketing. Never mentioned anything about being sent to random stores until my third day in orientation.

The job market is rough right now, but it’s still important to be aware of situations like this-especially for recent college grads which is their main recruiting focus. If you’re okay with being sent to different stores to sell products and relying on commission, it might be a fit, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

It's another mlm ran by smart circle. Beware. Stay safe.

There’s a devilcorp who’s previous forum got banned after users from this forum took action exposing it on its post, but they appear to have made a new account to astroturf people and I wanted to flag it for peoples awareness, and the awareness of people potentially looking for sales jobs in the Charlotte, NC area

Pretty sure trueheart consulting is a devilcorp, I can’t find anything on it online but it fits the description exactly. Can anyone tell me more if they know anything about trueheart?

It's me, back again for my 3rd or 4th post. Yippee /s

Still looking for work, and found a couple postings by a company called "Vision Bright", although their website URL suggests they are "BrightVision Media", idk.

Did initially get red flags, as their Indeed profile was essentially blank, but noticed they advertised a couple of bartending and other roles, so thought they might be legit.

Applied for a "Team Member - Sales" role through them that seemed legit, with a base salary, on-site work, etc.

Who do I get messaged by? Myriad Solutions.

I got an e-mail via Indeed that screams AI-generated and I then I also got 2 text messages within the same day asking me to go for a Zoom call, followed by a "you haven't applied yet".

Quick search on the DevilCorp website and subreddit reveal these guys to be a potential Credico office, who were first mentioned on here a few months ago, with people saying to avoid them at all costs.

There also seems to be movement on some of these older threads in the last few days too, so looks like they're going for a hiring-drive at the moment.

Now, I don't know if Vision Bright/Bright Vision are legit or not, but their website looks similar to all these other "marketing agencies", and their CEO/Director is also the Director of yet another firm called Astrid Consulting, which fits the theme.

Sigh.

This is isn’t the case for each of them but I do noticed a lot of them have lions as logos, does that mean something lol?

Happy Friday everyone, I want to make everyone aware of a newish devilcorp in San Diego. The place is called Elevate team and it used to be called Aspire but changed names when the NC running switched to full time consulting.

I just got a job offer from this company after looking to start getting into marketing and sales. And after doing some research and going down the rabbit hole ive come to the conclusion this is 99% a devilcorp?

Can anyone confirm my suspicions

Hello friends!!

For those of who residing in the Houston area, avoid GA Group Houston. This DevilCorp has to be the most sadistic and unprofessional MLM I have ever seen. Like many recent college graduates, i got enthusiastic when I saw they were reaching out for a interview but thanks to the efforts of this subreddit, I quickly knew better. Regardless I entertained the idea of seeing what they were about. I kid you not, this group is rotten to the core. They promised in their one day of office training to pay 200 a week which was a total lie considering their Indeed advocating for 600-1200 weekly pay. And they said after my day of training I would go out to businesses and start my job the next day. Purely unprofessional and evil.

This group has proceeded to spam the indeed platform in the area and my best advice for those in the Houston area is to avoid this group at all costs. You’ll be glad that you did.

Hi never used reddit before but kind of scared this company is fake so made an account.

i was approached on the street by three guys trying to sell student bills plans. I got chatting to them and they told me I was very approachable and would be good at sales. they ended up taking my details and sending them off to there supervisor. about 30 minutes later I got a call and was offered and interview for tomorrow.

anyway I did some research into this company and it looks beyond dodgy. there staff image looks like it was made by a shitty ai and there is no record of the company at the interview location 11-13 New Wakefield Street - M1 5NP - Manchester. The only thing I could find there was a place called paragon event marketing. this Looks like a huge scam and a massive pyramid scheme I wanted to get some clarity on wether this is legit or not since I am looking for work. it would also be nice to know if it’s safe for me to even go to this interview
