Houston Job seekers beware, MLM Pyramid Scheme!

Hello All, Join me as I explain my journey in this "company".

The firm is called Majesty Marketing, formerly "Southern Acquisitions Firm Inc." they are a franchise of Credico. They changed their name due to the amazing number of negative reviews online (the positive reviews are by people who are in management and actively push the pyramid scheme, or management from the other offices they work with within houston, No honest review has given this place over 2 stars).

My first interview I did not understand what the job entails, and my questions were met with strategically created responses to make you feel ok, but do not give you a straight answer to what the job is. If you act slightly interested, have a car, and can breathe, you get chosen for the second round interview. The person who does your second round interview is your leader.

In the second round interview you are told the same mumbo jumbo about how they work with fortune 500 companies and make you think the job is an important job where you will get crucial experience in marketing and account management. And then they will show you the opportunity pyramid, will try to entice you with the promise of a large comfortable paycheck. THIS IS EXTREMELY PREDATORY TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING, I wasn't in a bad position but who doesnt want to make good money while "Owning their business". I had other plans for my future but for the time being it seemed to make sense.

If you make it to the second round interview, you pretty much have the job. They will say some s**t like "we are gonna wrap up the interview process and go over people". No. You got the job. The manipulation begins before you even start "Working". The Front Desk girl (who is HR but it pisses her off so im gonna use it here) also HR, but is really the owners friend and parrot will call you and inform you that you're hired. I was very naive and happy.

Your first day in the office resembles that of a cult meeting, after you're done with your paperwork , you will be pulled into the "hang back/atmosphere" where people use indoctrination language. Hey guys? Hey what? High Rollers etc. You are given a training packet with all the information about the systems, see factors, Systems, attitude, work ethic. Youre not human, if you feel bad you need to have a better attitude, if you do good its because you follow the systems, if you do bad its because you dont follow the systems. For the sake of this post im gonna keep it short, but you are essentially being conditioned to accept the business and never find faults in it, and find all the faults in yourself. Youre pushed to hold the manager and the other owners in high regard as if they were some paragon of virtue and business, they are simply people who take advantage of enough people to get to a position so they can take advantage of more people and make money.

NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, YOUR JOB WILL BE TO SELL AT&T DOOR TO DOOR. THEY WILL CLAIM ITS B2B BUT ITS JUST A FANCY TERM THEY USE SO YOU DONT QUESTION THE DOOR TO DOOR ASPECT OF IT. YOURE LITERALLY GOING FROM BUSINESS DOOR TO BUSINESS DOOR. YOU ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR YOUR DRIVING, YOU PAY FOR GAS AND FOOD OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET,SOME TERRITORIES YOU GO TO ARE OVER AN HOUR AWAY WITHOUT TRAFFIC.

After your first week, you're solo. You need to prove to the company that you can do this by having 4 att customers. After that its leadership. You are constanly bugged and bothered to join Business Trips and other s**t that is not in your contract, youre expected to let go of your personal life, and associate only with the business. team nights, taco tuesdays, etc. are just manipulation techniques so you can get more invested in the business and the people in it so it is harder for you to leave.

After solo you get to be a leader, congratulations, now you are expected to manipulate other people who are looking desperately for a job. And you are expected to train them, without an extra dime on your paycheck.

YOUR FIRST PAYCHECK WILL NEVER BE ABOVE 300$. YOU WILL NOT GET PAID YOUR FIRST 3 WEEKS. ON AVERAGE YOUR WEEKLY PAYCHECK WILL BE BETWEEN $300-450.

In order to get paid, you need installs, but there are ALWAYS problems with the installs. For every sale you make the manager makes 40% ATT gets their cut, and you will get pennies. Only the managers and one other person in the office isnt struggling. Everyone else is almost always short on money or barely getting by.

After a few months of bullcrap, the thing that irked me was the ridiculous miles on my car and not getting anything back for it, I started doing some research and found out about this operation style. I pretty much gotten taken advantage of, I told a trainee to run away. Very soon I left the company.

TL,DR; To anyone who wants to work for Majesty Marketing in Houston, DONT. EXTREMELY PREDATORY BUSINESS PRACTICES, YOU WILL BE MANIPULATED AND TRICKED INTO THINKING THAT YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING GOOD, YOU ARE SIMPLY WASTING YOUR TIME, MONEY AND GAS TO SELL AT&T DOOR TO DOOR WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANTIAL REWARDS. YOU ARE SIMPLY ASKED TO FEED THE PYRAMID SO THE PEOPLE ABOVE CAN GET PROMOTED, AND YOU CAN GET PROMOTED BY SUCKING PEOPLE INTO THE FUNNEL.

OTHER VARIOUS OFFICES IN HOUSTON THAT DO SAME THINGS INCLUDE: THE GOLD STANDARD, GROUP ONE, INTERACTIVE INC AND READY MARKETING GROUP. ALL OF THESE COMPANIES WILL HAVE THE SAME MODEL OF BUSINESS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. SAVE YOURSELVES. RUN AWAY FROM THEM.

BEWARE, THESE SCAMMERS UTILIZE VERY METICULOUS BEHAVIOR CONTROL AND MANIPULATION TECHNIQUES. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS. REACH OUT TO THEM AND TRY TO HELP THEM GET OUT OF IT.

THEY DO NOT POST ON GLASSDOOR BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN LEAVE REVIEWS ON GLASSDOOR. THEY ACTIVELY FLAG AND REPORT EVERY SINGLE BAD REVIEW OF THEM ON GOOGLE. HOW DO YOU THINK A COMPANY CAN HAVE 5.0 STARS? NOT A SINGLE BAD REVIEW? SKETCHY.

Thank you.
