I worked for a branch of Cydcor called Milton Marketing which was located in Sacramento. I worked there for almost a year. I was into the company and thought it was a great way to learn, develop, and grow as a person starting into an entry-level position. The things I found out about Milton Marketing and many other branches of Cydcor (i.e. Westward Innovations, Madison Marketing etc.) I wish I never knew because it questioned my integrity, morality, image, and beliefs to make an honest living. I worked for this company under an owner named Russ. He and all other owners, VP's, and upper management told us how hard work and the drive for success would get you to "where you needed to be." I guess that meant rich or something. Let me reveal a few facts that most employees do not find out until its to late. 1)Owners do not make the promised salary of xxx,xxx dollars. They make money off of each telephone line service that is switched. 2) Owners have to pay tons of money for advertising, rent, bills. Which is understandable when you own a business but it usually neutralizes most of the profit. 3) I don't know if you heard that when you become assistant manager you make a whole bunch of money and you get ten thousand dollars put into an account that your pyramid people made for you. In actuallity you don't have the rights to that money at all. It is another lie to get you to stay around. And most people who got that far feel well "I got this far why quit now" so they do nothing about it. 4) Every friend I have whose parents own a business we switched their phone lines and thinking I was doing them a favor we were really screwing them over. If their lines even worked they came out to being more expensive then the old plan they had. if AT&T wants some quality control they should go to these offices and break down every charge to the last penny to find an exact accurate quote. 5) THERE IS NO MEDICAL INSURANCE AT ALL!!! 6) And how about the "Its tax deductable" line. Some of it is however you don't even come close to what you spent to what is returned. I had a very accurate mileage log on all my work related driving and it was hardly worth it. 7) Don't forget to pay for the interviews lunch and give him/her applications(your money) because that is how you invest in your people and bribe them to stay around. Well what about us. We need to live. Pay our bills and it is hard to do that unless you go around the field and lie to customers and I would rather not sell than go to hell. Honestly I could write for hours and I jsut get mader and mader when I am doing this so I will leave you with something. Do all you can to promote people away from this company. Cydcor has to many lawyers, to many loop holes in the system. We have to stop them and put an end to the antichrist. Go to the "ralley's" and send out flyers do anything. This company most go down. If anyone knows how to design a web page to get people together to do something than please do it would be much appreciated.
