I should’ve initially known it was a sketchy company by the interview process. The first round of interviews was on Zoom and it was me and like 5 other people on a call with the “CEO” Natalie, which I initially thought was odd that the CEO would be interviewing at least for the first round. Everyone else in said interview was relatively quiet while we mostly talked briefly about ourselves and our skills and goals. We were told that several hundred people applied and they were only hiring 3 new people (possibly 1 I can’t remember). In the second round when they discussed the company they noted several things that I thought sounded off. They said that as far as their history they were formed in 2020 and had made $1.8 Million in revenue. If you look at https://www.georgiacompanyregistry.com/companies/mod-exposure-inc/ you can see that Mod Exposure wasn’t founded until January 08, 2021. They claimed they’d reached 99+ stores, represented over 20 clients, we're partnered with 4 Fortune 500 retailers, were in 3 states, and reached 15+ cities. None of which added up. You can find more details about the second round interview by viewing the presentation shown during the said interview at the link https://prezi.com/p/uwzjfvygxjfm/mod-exposure-inc/. They said they would then call you for a third round interview which was a phone call which was when I think they offered me the job.
I went on three business trips during my time at Mod Exposure, two to Auburn, AL, and one to Valdosta, GA to promote the app Moocho. During the trip, we stayed in a hotel provided by the company. These were very rundown hotels and on the invoice I saw they had only paid around $60 a night for our stay. On one particular trip to Auburn the hotel we stayed at was so sketchy that the door to our room didn’t even close all the way making it impossible to lock. We both felt like we were in a very unsafe and uncomfortable situation but were forced to tough it out. In this scheme, we had to go up to customers in Winn-Dixie (walking up to them randomly in the aisles) and promote the app Moocho. Our goal was to get the customer to use Moocho to pay for their groceries that day by putting their credit or debit card information on the app, and the deal for signing up and paying with Moocho that day was you would save $5 off your groceries in addition to the 10% cash back you earn from the app. Keep in mind you couldn’t use EBT with this app and the locations we were at had lots of customers paying with EBT that were not eligible for the discount. Management told us this was our fault that we were making more sales and that we should convince people paying with EBT to use a debit or credit card to be able to use the app. We were also sent phone numbers of upper management to contact to ask for advice to “do better” in the field and we faced very harsh criticism from them telling us that we simply weren’t working hard enough.
They marketed the position as an events/marketing position when in reality I was selling Sheex sheet sets in Costcos around the Atlanta area upwards of 2 hours from both my home and their office. They made you show up to early morning meetings to discuss sales and marketing tactics to trick customers into buying the products. We had to bring notebooks to take notes on everything said in such meetings. In these meetings, you were required to dress in business professional attire (which I didn't have and had to go purchase to attend the meetings). I remember one time a girl was reprimanded for wearing a cardigan because it wasn’t business professional. In these meetings, we were forced to memorize sales pitches that we then had to go home to study as the next day we were required to write the entire pitch on a whiteboard in front of our peers. We also learned “sales processes” and “marketing tactics” in these meetings that we were also forced to recite. These included the 4 systems which were 5 Steps to a Conversation, FUGI, The Law of Averages, and The 8 Steps. We were also forced to write these on a whiteboard and present the information in front of peers.
After the meetings, we would go to “the field” for the day. We were divided into two groups, those who sold Car Keys Express at Sam's Club, and those who sold Sheex at Costco, I was of the latter. We were taught to approach/engage with every single customer that came within eyesight. The commission was split equally between everyone working that day, so even if you made the majority of the sales you were barely compensated. The rate of compensation also varied based on the product you were working on.
To become a campaign manager/ enter into “leadership” you had to have several co-workers "under you" which is where it starts to sound like an MLM/pyramid scheme. They claimed you would begin at entry level, and rank up to Campaign Manger/“leadership” after 4-6 months, which I did after 2 weeks. These other employees would be under your "supervision" and their sales would count toward your progress in ranking up. Once you had a certain amount of people under you you qualified for the position of Executive Regional Manager where they claimed you oversee territories, oversee 3-5 events, and oversee 10-20 employees. This is the part where you “become your own boss” and become the new “CEO” of your company.
We were constantly having meetups with the team after work hours, unpaid, and were forced to talk about work-related topics. For example, we would have team nights, which seem innocent and fun at first. You could invite your partners or friends, which no one ever did might I add, and we would all attend an event together. One of the ones I went to while I worked there was at a Karaoke place and they still wanted to talk business during the event. They always wanted to know your goals with the company.
Additionally, they called you several times a day and expected you to be worried about work on your off days, which were Monday and Tuesday might I add. You would have daily check-ins with your supervisor where they would call you and ask you how the day went and how you could do better. They expected you to go to unpaid events such as team nights, leadership chats, 1-on-1s, and talk about work during all of these.
I finally quit when I wasn't feeling well so I told Natalie I wasn't going to make it to a business conference (unpaid) and she reacted very negatively telling me and I quote that it was "not a good look" that I missed the conference. When I told her “Listen I really don’t feel good today I need the day off” she directly responded with “Yikes!”, which I found very unprofessional.
The "CEO" Natalie has listed on LinkedIn that she's worked for Mod Exposure only since June 2021. Before that, she has listed on her Facebook that she worked for Tier 1 Event Management in Sacramento, CA. This company also seems like a similar MLM from what I've gathered from their Glassdoor page. On Natalie's LinkedIn she has listed that she worked as a CEO for The North Point Executives from August 2018 until June 2021. This company also seems like an MLM from what I've gathered on Glassdoor. Their address listed on https://www.georgiacompanyregistry.com/companies/the-north-point-executives-inc/ happens to be the business address of Mod Exposure found at https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/BusinessSearch/BusinessInformation?businessId=3210679&b...⇄ /> The owners, Natalie and Madelyn, have worked for previous similar companies that give off major MLM vibes. After much research, I have also found that the “CEO” (who is also listed as the business’ CFO, incorporator, Secretary, and agent via https://www.bizapedia.com/ga/mod-exposure-inc.html) has been sued by the Department of Workforce Development for a labor/wage claim in August of 2021 in Milwaukee County Courts. More information about this can be found at https://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetail.html?caseNo=2022UC005570&countyNo=40 =. She also has a “branch” of Mod Exposure in Jacksonville, FL as of September 20, 2021, as seen at https://www.bizapedia.com/fl/mod-exposure-inc.html.
The other Mod Exposure “CEO” Madelyn Reining is listed as the CEO, CFO, Incorporator, and Secretary for the company 32 Innovations, Inc. Said company’s address is the same as the address for Mod Exposure, Inc. This information can be found at www.bizapedia.com.
A former co-worker that began working at the company shortly after I did that also excelled fast in the company, Chris Habla, has since moved up in the company and become an “owner” and works with Car Keys Express in Jacksonville, FL. Since then he knows is the “President” of PTD Promotions, the same company under a different name.
After further investigation back into old emails I have found an email regarding the Sheex teardown instructions that have a logo for Smart Circle on them along with an email and phone number address for Smart Circle if you need assistance with the teardown process. I now understand that Smart Circle is a part of Devil Corps, which more information about can be found at https://thedevilcorp.wordpress.com. Additionally, I suggest you watch the documentary “The Slave Circle” on Youtube as it explains the job down to a T. You can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyCRzBt7GuY. ’m assuming all of the said companies are under the parent company Smart Circle and have since changed names due to legal issues.
