Cydcor is filled with lots of great people!

IT Specialist (Current Employee)
Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA

I have been working at Cydcor as a contractor for less than a year

ProsI work with Cydcor and several of their offices across the country as a contractor, and I'm surprised by how nice everyone has there. Perhaps it's because they don't hire outside managers as a rule, everyone is promoted from within, meaning that the entire company is made up of people who really truly own their brand and their companies. I actually wanted to spend more time in meetings with some of the Cydcor team members that I worked with!

I've worked with several Cydcor offices across the country, including offices in California, Atlanta, New York, and Tennessee, and I can say that- to a person- they have been some of the most driven, entertaining and tight-knit groups that I have worked with. The managers are eager to help train new people, and spend a lot of time mentoring and helping out the people who work under them. And every Cydcor group that I worked with spent a good amount of time helping to make the communities around them better, raising money for groups like Operation Smile, the ASPCA, and Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta. I really liked everyone I worked with, and what they were doing for their community.

ConsIt's a tough job, and it's not for everyone. A lot of the work is in sales, and that isn't everyone's cup of tea. But for those people who enjoy sales and are good at it, there really is an opportunity to succeed in Cydcor. In the last month one of the offices I worked with treated all of their top sellers to a ski trip to the mountains, while a different office bought an ipad mini for the best sales representative.

If you can handle sales, then Cydcor is an awesome place for you to gain real-world experience and make some money. If you don't, then you should probably look elsewhere.

Look for another job

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA

I have been working at Cydcor full-time for more than a year

Prosworking in the corporate office in Westlake Village, you get free food for lunch once every two months.
Met some great people

ConsRead the rates and pay close attention!!! Everything is true the company is something you should run from.
-The pay is not good
-There is a lot of favoritism in the company.
I could go on about the company. Before signing the offer letter just remember they will work you hard and you will not have a career/life balance working for this company.

Advice to Senior ManagementAll of the management team need to take courses on how to be a manager.

Great People, Great Environment!

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA

I have been working at Cydcor full-time for more than 7 years

ProsOur team members. High energy, motivated, driven, hard-working, and lots of fun. We work in a beautiful building in Westlake, and hard work and results are recognized and rewarded. Very enthusiastic and dedicated leadership team.

ConsMy commute is a bit longer than I'd like it to be (with traffic factored in). Other than that, there isn't really a con that is worthy of writing about.

Advice to Senior ManagementWe have a great environment - people are committed and dedicated and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. Continue to listen to team members to get good ideas and to stay engaged.

If you don't mind only working on commission until you become management, this job is for you!

Account Representative (Former Employee)
Saint Louis, MO

I worked at Cydcor

ProsYou can become an owner in a very short time
Being able to socialize with fellow employees
You get to talk to people on a daily basis

ConsPay is based on how many sales you make
Is door-to-door sales, and they don't tell you that up front

Advice to Senior ManagementOffer some sort of base salary, and then offer compensation based on sales. Don't have salary only based on sales, because people will not stick around.

Optimize Marketing Solutions

Sales Representative (Former Employee)
Los Angeles, CA

I worked at Cydcor

ProsIf you are one of the rare breeds that like doing door to door sales, this opportunity can be golden.

ConsIf the owner does not like you, then you can kiss your opportunity goodbye.
High turn over rate, but that goes with any sales job.
This Job can potentially take your personal life away.
Remember, this job is cult-like. If the owner does not like you personally, he will not like you professionally.

Advice to Senior ManagementIf you decide to apply for the "Entry Level" position, please evaluate who you will be working with.
Gary Polson is doing a great job running Cydcor as a company.
