Sphere Inc Sphere Promotes Entry Level Job Scam Internet

Typically it only takes one bad experience to cause difficulty for legitimate marketing firms. 
Direct marketing is one of the fastest growing industries in the world right now, and many disreputable companies are taking advantage of this fact and the strategies implemented from direct marketing for their own gain.  However, this also damages the perceptions and experiences of people such as this, along with contaminating the industry as a whole.  We sincerely apologize to this person for their experience, but must inform them that they never worked for Sphere Inc.  Here is why:

1. Pyramid Scheme a fraudulent scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to the person who recruited them while expecting to receive payments from the persons they recruit; when the number of new recruits fails to sustain the hierarchical payment structure the scheme collapses with most of the participants losing the money they put in.  Pyramid schemes are illegal in the United States and before any company can be incorporated their pay structure and company
structure are intensely investigated.

2. To follow item #1, any company can be verified by calling the Department of Labor and Regulations for their state of incorporation.  Which we recommend doing to anyone before they begin a position with a company.

3. The two clients we represent presently are the largest retailers in the world, one home improvement, and one sports and entertainment, and we work specifically on-site in their locations. We have not ever represented any fudge, jewelry, or cable television.

4.  We do not participate in any door-to-door or any business-to-business activities, so no employee has ever been dropped off at a mall or a random location. 

5.  Our interview process is a 3-round interview, standard for any industry.  However from beginning to end, if someone were to do all three in the same day, the total time would be approximately an hour and a half, so a 6 hour interview is unlikely.  Along with this, it is only if someone is considered a qualified candidate for a position that they are brought back for the 2nd round, and subsequently the 3rd.  Depending, of course, on the availability of a position.  When working in a retail environment, it is federal law that there be an hourly base pay, at the very least the base cannot be below the federal minimum wage.  Therefore, in a 40-hour work week it would be unrealistic for an individual to make less than that.

6.  There are no dividends paid to management from the staff of the company, because there are no sales generated by the employees, therefore, no revenue brought in to be divided.  (Revert to item #1)  We specifically and exclusively market for our clients to their consumers.

 As a final note, there are several firms in Maryland that do operate as described in the complaint posted above, and they are usually nameless or change their names often, so it is perfectly realistic that this person was mistreated and simply couldnt find the employer they intended to attack.  Once again, we do apologize to this person for their experience, but based on the details of their employment described above, they never worked for us.
