As much as I despise the Cobra Group for having the audacity to waste a couple of hours of my time, and as much as I hope Chris Niarchos and Senior Cobra Employees develope terminal Cancer, Ioften wonder about Cobra,and what it's like in other countries. here in the UK the weather is awful for about 11 months so the turnover rate is exceptionally high. Here in UK these freaks even live together..like that in NZ Bra?

And yes, you got some of the freak owners that take people from the office in as flatmates so they can 'protect' them from outside 'negatives' etc. I must be honest, I loved the time there as I was a traveller and had no friends anyway. These guys seem to have fun. Still dono how it ended up being 3 yrs though??!! ;-)

Yeah I can see from the pics you looked like you enjoyed your time there mate, just out of interest..did the Group pay for your travel or did u have to fork out yourself? Glad you've managed to start your own buisness with what you've learned though, your 100% better off doing ya own thing. Oh the Cobra group lol I often think back to what may have been had I lasted more than 3 hrz :)

I paid day to day travel myself. Fuck that fucked me of too. Though I had trips to Sydney (x2), Rockhampton, Christchurch, Rotorua, Wellington all paid for in 5 star hotels plus 3 weeks in Singapore (incl. a weekend in Kuala Lumpur).

I won a trip to Europe but never made it because my kid was born. Mate, I often wonder what the fuck I was thinking the day I took that 'job'... hahahahaa, everything happens for a reason??

Well I certainly didnt expect to see myself in this from the Rotorua trip!! You probably wont remember who I am. I was Neils admin, the useless one who couldnt recruit shit, not intentionally of course I definately tried my hardest. An interesting time there, WAAAYYY better off out of there, dont get me wrong, Neil was a nice boss, and I hated the fact I was letting him down all the time. But WAY better where I am now and have been since I was let go!! Good to see you are better off too Rudy.

Is this the famous Rudy? I was in the Napier branch for 2 years under Logan whos in your video at 1:35...good times :P

So all you got to do is hire in 5-7 people, and have those 5-7 people, hire 5-7 people. Sounds easy enough! I love pyramid schemes lulz!

My door is often knocked on by FSRs and as far as I can tell it's mainly Energy and Charity that they do here allthough sometimes they come into my workplace and sell things like mini digital cameras. I must admit I have on 2occasions purchased items from them...I bought this set of spanners and screwdrivers off em for £5 which I figured wasa pretty good deal to be honest.. My main experience of Cobra is by proxy....at least 5 of my mates have worked for em at some time or another..:)

[TearsOfButthurt]

Ha ha ha I diddn't make it that far mate. I literally quit after 5 minutes of the Second ''Interview'' hehe! I live in Liverpool UK and honestly have no idea which department I was going to be assigned to..as soon as I saw the pair of bags the penny dropped and I quizzed the 2 leaders about the nature of the work...unsatisfied with their speil, I decided it was best that I make my way to the pub as quickly as possible lmao. :)

We had some hilarious ones. A guy in Singapore just started running when I was pitching a customer.

Even though I had 17 guys in the office we had to have 12-15 interviews a day to keep up the numbers so I don't think turnover rates are big difference. Winter rains all the time here too exept that it only rains in half hour blocks rather than all day. On very bad days we set a target and first back in the office won a prize. EWhat division were you in?
