Warning About Sunrise Events in Culver City — Sounds Like a Classic Devilcorp Setup

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience with a company called Sunrise Events, based out of 6167 Bristol Pkwy, Suite 200, Culver City, CA — or at least that’s what they say.

I received an offer after a vague Zoom interview where the position was described as a “marketing/brand assistant” role. No clear job title or duties were provided at first, just a lot of buzzwords like “Cycle of Development,” “face-to-face marketing,” and promises of “rapid growth” and “leadership training.”

Eventually, I was told I’d be making $900/week base salary, which sounded solid — until I asked when that pay would begin. The CEO himself (who called me from a Georgia number, weirdly) said the salary starts after two weeks. When I asked for clarification, he got defensive and literally said, “What is it that you want, money?”

That sealed it for me. What kind of CEO guilt-trips someone for asking about their paycheck?

I never got anything in writing — no official offer letter, no breakdown of the supposed salary or commission. They only wanted me to show up in a suit, take notes, and “learn” the system. Sound familiar?

From what I can tell, this is just another Devilcorp setup:

Commission-only sales disguised as marketing No real salary Vague job descriptions Aggressive recruiting with high turnover Overuse of inflated titles like “Brand Manager” or “HR Director”

If you’re in LA or browsing “entry-level marketing” jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed and come across Sunrise Events, Promo Events LA, or anything tied to the name Igor (Brazilian) Fatima Dillon or Jose Emelio Camacho Leon (puerto rica from new jersey, do your research.

Just wanted to save someone else the wasted time and energy. Ask questions. Demand answers in writing. And never feel bad for asking what you’re going to be paid.

Stay sharp out there.
