Milwaukee, WIPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

Eventually, the truth was revealed to me: I was convinced it operated like a pyramid scheme.

By that point, it felt like the company had already invested enough time to keep pulling me back in, and that was the most frustrating part. The impression was that they used sunk-cost pressure—keeping me in motion just long enough that it was harder to walk away, even after I started questioning what was really happening.

I didn’t receive an offer. The end result left me disappointed and strongly against the model, because the process didn’t just fail to deliver—it actively tried to trap commitment
