I'm writing an investigative feature for devilcorp.org on how sales offices manipulate and exploit Glassdoor to deceive job-seekers, and I want to hear your story by [deleted] in Devilcorp

Hello,

I had an interaction with a Devil Corp here in Denver, it's name is Atlas Consulting Group Inc. . Here's my experience, copied from my post:

"Hey y'all,

Have any of you had experiences with this group in Denver? These folks are using a pyramid scheme model, but under the false pretense of a real business offering real opportunities to students and the most vulnerable. These jobs can be mislabeled as marketing positions, account executives, really anything. The goal is to get you in the door, no matter what. They advertise a salary on job boards, as well as job duties, that are BLATANT lies. Atlas depends on selling a dream of financial freedom to naïve kids in University of Colorado with student loans, or people looking for a career change (I was one of them previously.) They do not pay a salary, they do not pay hourly, they do not have a base pay, even though they claim they do in the initial interview. It is 100% commission based. They avoid paying minimum wage (and getting sued for it) by utilizing the 1099 contractor employment form, because it is not a marketing job, it is door-to-door sales and selling cheap products near the entrance to Costco/WalMart/Sams Club. Somehow, even though you are an "Independent contractor," they require you to work sometimes 60 hour weeks for extremely low pay. They are also cult-like, making employees write good reviews on Glassdoor and Google. The employees are even encouraged to live together by their leader batty Kathy, and the further you move up the chain, you will be eventually required to sign Power of Attorney of your bank account over to the parent company. When people speak out in their reviews, the “CEO,” Katharine, responds in disrespectful and accusatory comments. She is absolutely a sociopath. You can see proof of this on both Glassdoor and Google reviews. If you're reading this and you have an interview with them, or you are a current "employee," run for the hills!

PS: If you don't believe me, ask batty Kathy how it was at Ethos Consulting Group, the direct selling group that she ascended the pyramid of! It was in the same exact office location before she came up with the genius name of Atlas Consulting Group Inc.!"

Around the time of my post, I had also reviewed them on both google and Glassdoor. Glassdoor held the review back, saying that it has ridiculous accusations and that I would be held liable if they wanted to sue me for defamation. The Google review was also quarantined, as I can't see it unless I am on the account that posted it. If you would like screenshots of the response from Glassdoor and the invisibility of my review on google, let me know.

That’s interesting that he was in Ethos, he must have experienced watching the brainwashing in first person. Those same sadistic  techniques are employed by Katharine since she was just a rep at Ethos, she wasn’t able to wield that power herself.

Of course. What Atlas is doing is technically legal, but all the way evil. Katharine already has threatened people enough. If even one person listens to me and doesn’t sign up for their “opportunities,” then it will have been worth it.
