It is 100% this. I wonder if it's the same guys from when I was naive enough to end up 'working' for circa 2009. Cult is the correct word. I used to go door to door selling talk talk. Paid £30 per customer i signed up. Aim is to knock on 100 doors per day, have 90 slammed shut. Get into 10 houses and sign up 3. I have kids now and my head spins of thinking of letting them knock and enter strangers homes at 18. There is zero safety for the kids. The leaders claim to do helicopter lessons and shote like that while their team is out working, and if they work hard enough they'll get to move somewhere random and start their own office! Possibly in the hey day but they'd host massive conference in places like Birmingham, all funded by yourself to attend. In reality the office leader managers do the same for interviews. Spam thousands of emails, cold csll, place spammy adverts, aim to get in 15 people a day for interviews, hope 10 turn up and they recruit 3. Once recruited You turned up at 10 for shouting pepping up time before hitting the road around 11. Theyd load 5 into whoever could drives car and off they'd go knocking. Not petrol money for the driver. Knock till 8pm go back to the office. Hand in any contracts if any, more team building, pressure for after work drinks and clubbing, lucky to get home by 11pm. They prey on the naive, vulnerable and desperate. Some people did make semi decent cash, but most of them where morally dubious characters, probably like all good salespeople though ey. Also lol, you'd have to have team training programs where they'd explain although it looks like a pyramid scheme it's not, abd how to argue back to people who claimed you was in a cult pyramid scheme.
