Alright, I know that there are many reports, good and bad, but here is some truth.
1) there is rarely any truth, alot of deception and manipulation, it seems like a get rich quick seem and sounds great - but remember theres a reason why youve never heard of them before now, theyre not a "household name"- you must understand this
2) there are many different aspects of the company, such as: warehousing/distributing, marketing - door to door residential selling what looks like school fundraisers (good deals - but hard to sell), communications - business door to door sales of telecommunications service, trash can service, visa/mastercard merchant, etc (this tends to pay more than the residential side)
3) the local branch you interview with they will promote how far reaching ds-max / cydcor is with dealing with fortune 500 companies like disney, att, dominos, etc
4) you will have 3 interviews most likely: a - basic interview with manager to see if you are ambtious, independent, and easily manipulated / b - day of observation where one of the "leaders" takes you on a day of door to door sales, pays for your lunch, and explains how this pyramid scheme isnt a pyramid because you dont lose the money you make but dsmax/cydcor pays them for the work you did (if you dont understand, they will explain it)/c - if you meet their requirements, you get hired on the spot or one of the "leaders" (the one you went out with) will call you that night and congratulate you and will want you to start IMMEDIATELY
5) there are extremely long hours, coworkers all bunked up together, people dating the managers/each other, corruptions, motivational speeches, goals, lot of personal money spent (esp. On gas and food), constant and i mean constant turnover and recruiting, lots of "no's" from biz/peoeple (no solicitation), road trips that help you supposedly grow, conferences, etc.
6) there are very, very few people that are succesful - it's a combination of luck and skill and the will to carry on, but don't carry on so much that your credit goes bad because more than likely you will struggle since you dont get your first paycheck for a month
7) JUICE - Join Us In Creating Excitent... A company magazine and motto... You must always recreate the excitement since it dies with the high turnover
8) ask questions, lots of them - what's is your interviewers name? How old are they? How did they get started? Do they have a business card? How neat are there cars? Do they room withother coworkers? How long have they worked there? ASK! Ask! ASK!
9) for credibility - i did work for cycor in the communications side for almost a year, i racked up $3500 in debt because its 100% commision - hard work will only get you so far - if you dont have faith in what ive said - just read the hundreds of other quotes
10) good luck - if you choose to pursue this near elusive dream, be careful and go slowly - dont jump right into it and think that this will be your career - use your head and think!
