Midara inc. Is the Columbus branch of the exploit-marketing company, Cydcor. After an initial interview, they take you into 'the field' for a training day, where you work for six unpaid hours as they train you to sell a service such as AT&T products... Where you must wear AT&T clothing, ect..
'The field' refers to a neighborhood. It is here that go DOOR-to-DOOR stating that you are doing a "customer service check". You stay in this same neighborhood (or one street) the entire day... Knocking on the same doors consistently.
They took me to 'the field' in one of their cars, so I couldn't leave, even if I wanted to. They take you to lunch (fast food)... And explain to you the levels of their company.
Level 1: Entry level, door-to-door sales... 2-4 weeks. COMISSION only (might make $200-500 a week if lucky)
Level 2: Leader/trainer, nothing changes. Still door-to-door, except know you take people out on their 2nd interviews in your car... For 6 hours. 2-8months COMISSION only (might make $200-500 a week if lucky)
Level 3: Ast. Manager, they "promote" you based on production/success... And when i asked what they are looking for. I never got a definitive answer... It is in this stage where you start to raise 15K in order to hopefully open up your own marketing company... 2-3months.
Level 4: Manager, own company, i was told you are an independent corp. And have the freedom to name your own company at this stage.
They do not have any benefits. You have to pay for your own gas, cell phone usage (as you use this to help setup new accounts for customers... Ect..).
Midara INC., reminds me a lot like what we have in the south. Known as Quixtar.
This was the most miserable 6 hours i ever spent on an interview. Please don't be fooled... There are many more of these out there. Research, research, and do more research on a company before you fall into a trap like this.
They say it's not a pyramid scheme, because you don't make money off of the people below you. However, the only way to advance into the higher pay brackets is to get people below you, and then people below the people below you, etc.
A total waste of time.
