Scam, Horrible Company
|
|
I joined Smart Circle International, LLC at the San Diego branch. Little did I realize the horrible nature of the company. They lure you in claiming they do marketing and sales for Fortune 500 companies among their 311 divisions and 15,000 offices, and that if you join their "management training program" and work hard for 6 months you'll then be given your own office and make $150,000 per year. However, what they don't tell you is that it is door-to-door soliciting. The "clients" as they claim are just people that you walk up to on the street or in businesses. They make you work 72 hours a week, don't pay you overtime which is a violation of labor laws. There is so much harassment and descrimination within the workforce, management picks their favorites and treat others unfairly. And forget raising issues of concern to management because they will just retaliate against you until you quit or until they fire you. And because there is so much bad publicity about this company the local offices which are all set up under different names just keep changing their names. I worked at the San Diego office cosmetics division called Foundation Marketing, Inc., now called Keystone run by Ian Laird, San Diego Campaign Manager, Sandy El-Rayes, Assistant Manager, and headed by Scott Williams, Smart Circle Vice President. Sandy though just opened the Encino, CA office called Diamond, Inc. Other offices in the cosmetics division headed by Scott Williams include 2k Millenium in New Jersey, IDG in Dallas, Momentum Marketing Group in Cincinati, Skylink in Denver, NewGen Management in Massachusetts, Insight Marketing Group in Michigan, Empire International in Boston, Shu Marketing in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Vantage, Inc in Los Angeles, KC Event Marketing in Overland Park, Kansas. If you want to do door-to-door sales and work very long hard hours it may be worth it for you to get ahead in business quick. But be very careful because management is corrupt, and if you don't fit within their "inner club" you will be singled out and pushed out.
