First off, be aware that yes, this is a legitimate company which is very well run. The problem is that it involves going door to door, ahem, "Business 2 Business" to sell an endless array of office supplies on behalf of Quill, a warehouse for Staples. The bad vibes begin the moment you walk into the door, it feels like you're being recruited into a cult, and even the people there seem to have smiles triggered by Ecstasy and cyanide fruit punch. You hear loud noises and chanting behind close doors and you are left wondering what that's all about. It's some sort of pep talk to all the employees in order to encourage them before their humiliating experience of selling crap door to door.
The benefits of this "marketing" are greater for both Quill and CYDCOR, the never-once mentioned parent company of Forward Business Concepts and THOUSANDS of other small businesses that disguise door-to-door sales as "face to face marketing". Gary Polson and Jim Majeski are the two men who have spawned an endless array of door-to-door marketing schemes all across the nation. Go ahead, Google them and see for yourself.
Through exploitation of polished and well-spoken recent college grads, Majeski and Polson have saved millions of dollars in legitimate marketing to companies like Quill, Verizon, AT&T and other Fortune 500 businesses and pocketed the money themselves. Because of the bad PR these tiny companies receive on sites like usacomplaints.com, Majeski and Polson rely heavily on their foot soldiers to change their names constantly, as though to hide their tracks of slime and greed. They preach "The Law of Averages" as a selling technique, meaning that the more places you visit, the greater the number of sales despite rejection.in reality, The Law of Averages also applies to the applicants and employees, meaning that the more naive employees Cydcor has, the greater the profits for the two men at the top of this pyramid scheme.
Save yourself the trouble of applying and interviewing here or to other Cydcor-related companies. If you see the company endlessly posting openings on CareerBuilder.com or similar Web sites, chances are it's a child of Cydcor. If they e-mail and call you immediately after applying, chances are you're in for the experience summarized by this person named "Russia" on another site:
In short, "If you are a dog-eat-dog patient person who can take people being rude to you and shouting NO SOLICITING, then this job is perfect for you."
