I hear so many people describe this business as a scam.
It is not necessarily a scam. Meaning that it IS a legitimate business.
However; they are run by Cydcor. Google this name and you will find it to be synonymous with the words scam and rip off. Why?
Because Cydcor is a company that sells you dreams. They say that you will become an owner in a year or so. An owner makes about $120,000 a year. However, in reality, only 1% make it to owner, and nowhere is it written what the actual salary is.
What actually happens when you are hired at this company? You go door-to-door selling office supplies. Flat out. They say you can make good money doing it, too. But lets do some math:
Lets be generous and say that you make $800 a week (your working on full commissions, mind you. 28% to be exact). This means youd have to sell about $3000 worth of office supplies a week. Good luck.
You spend $100 a week on gas. Another $100 on food in the field.
Now your at $600. Take another $100 for taxes. Now your at $500.
You work 12 hours a day. (This is a fact.), 5 days a week. Thats 60 hours a week divided by 500.
You follow me?
Your making $8.30 an hour. For more work than youve ever done in your life.
And growth opportunity? Its a pipe dream.
Stay in school.
But why do I categorize this company as a cult? Let's explore.
1. The 'group' or employees always follow the extremely charismatic, though not-so-bright, leader.
2. You are chastised or punished for saying anything that might be seen as negative, even about something as simple as the weather.
3. You are encouraged to only interact with the other people at the company.
4. There is no tolerance for questions about the company or 'boss'.
5. Anyone who leaves the company is "selfish, ignorant, lazy", or just plain wrong.
6. There is an 'ultimate goal' everyone at the company hopes to reach. However, only the 'owner' has ever reached that goal.
7. There are dozens of people on the internet, just like me, reporting this company as a scam every week.
