Excutive Promotional Group - SmartCircle Brain Washing. Entry Level Advertising Manager. (solicting) Door to Door. Tampa Florida

Well my story is the same as most ex-employees of Superior Concepts A.K.A "SmartCircle". The first interview, the car ride, that wait for the phone call to see if your hired. You work around lets see 65-70 hours a week selling coupons business to business-fun-fun, for 300-400 dollars a week if your lucky, ya plug those numbers into your calculator and tell me what you get! Trust me it wont be pretty!! You can make better money waiting tables with obviously shorter shifts.
The make you show up way too d**n early and listen to their analogies of all the many types of people in the world. If you have worked at a location like this before you have heard the Rhino mindset versus the Cow mindset, which I think may have some issues with logic and reason............ Well who am I to judge I didn't use reason nor logic because I took this job in a heart beat and that makes me an outright idiot. Avoid these businesses they will ruin your social, financial networks for the future.
JIT the other Granton type business actually shares an office with Superior Concepts and they do the same thing except they sell Direct TV stuff.

Stay away from these guys they are deceitful. Tell all of your friends and family to stay away from all SmartCircle Solicitors and salespersons.

They told me that I would get paid $300 for one week of training I knew this kind of work wasn't for me but money is money. they had me start training on a wed. I worked till Friday. I worked the week before Thanksgiving they told me the following week they'll have a check for me for $150. I went down there on the 24th to get my check. Thats when they told me it should come sometime that week. I called back on the 27th of nov. and they said it would be in that Friday the 28th. that's when i gave them my address and told them to mail it to me. I then called them back on the 8th of dec. and a guy named Dan told me that he personally mailed it the first week of dec. I still had not gotten my check on the 18th of dec. On the 19th I went down to the office and the inside of the office was the same but a different name on the door, that when I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. The door was locked. I called a guy Sean that had trained me nice guy...and told him what was going on. he gave me the number to two so called Managers at the OKC location. I called Amber and asked her to call me back and update me on whats going on. she called and told me that the Vieno Group had gone under, and they split off into there own company. I finely got a call from Dan and he told me I was up Sh*t creek as far as being paid...I don't really know what to do now....all I think I can do is to warn and tell everyone I can about this.. Superior Concepts at the same location 101 Park Ave, Suite 350.OKC, OK Vieno Group it's all a SCAM don't trust them.

You couldn't have worded it more perfect.

Ladies and Gentleman of Dallas, Texas. Go to www.TheVienoGroup.com and take one look at their one page website. You will see the business is a front and it is evident from their own testimonials that the parent company they work with is SmartCircle.

Their add on Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com were misleading and had salary ranging from 22000 to 35000 with 2000 bonus. I did not even hear anything about how much you get paid the first day in the field, on the interview, nor the second.

Do not be fooled. This company had 15 people in the office waiting to be hired the day i was there. I saw 30 people walk out of the back office to go out "in the field" within a 20 minute period.

Everyone was young. 28 and younger. The girls were all very pretty and as I am now sure by reading this same experience, probably nieve, and dumb.

I am a recent college graduate and am not fooled by this b.s. Do not waste any of your time.

I drove from Houston to Dallas to find out how ridiculous this was. Save your time, money, energy, and whatever else you have and run away as fast as you can.

These people go into businesses that have clear, "No Soliciting" signs and guess what, they Solicite. Amazing. Truly innovative. Truly energetic. Truly misleading and tom foolery. 2nd grade level lemonade stand hustling needed in order to apply.

Ok I remember this interview very distinctly bc it was my car that got the flat tire. The man was clearly desperate for any type of income. Disheveled would be a good way to describe him. He had recently closed his radio/adverstising business and was looking for work because his girlfriend of 6 years was mentally unstable and the disability checks were not cutting it. My former associate did fall asleep in the back seat on the way to Sarasota, FL.

We gave him the opportunity because we felt bad for him. However, while in training, his anxiety is what made him quit. He would uncontrollabley shake when talking to strangers; not a good sign. I took him out for two days in training. Still was slow on his first day bonus and he quit after that.

To back him up though, I am quitting this company this week due to its incongruencies. We say we are a sports marketing firm however I have yet to promote one sports team. The firms are individually LLC'd for lawsuit avoidance purposes. And although many firms do well in the country, the Tampa area is tarnished from bad report with Disney Vacations and the IMAX certificate that was not honored. It is NOT possible to make 600 a week consistently with this firm.

Furthermore, the employees are required to pay for gas, interview lunch, and training. SO if you have a trainee and an interview, you make 50 bux instead of your quoted $100. You can't live on 1200 month in South Tampa.

There are better opportunities.

CAREER IN SPORTS. Work with Pro Sports Teams. Yeah!!! selling tickets for games door to door.
