My names chris i started workin for J&K associates under John Harris on 2/06/2008 and i worked over 8 hours a day everyday showing complete effort in the job going door to door trying to sell Kirbys and going to demos which they promised $400 a week for the first 31 days and after that in was commission. I recieved only $100 today 2/18/2008 when i was let go, i was "let go" right after my training week was over. sure its a great product but its not worth having harrassing phone calls and harrassing people and screwing people out of $2000. just the other day i watched a sales rep con a newly couple to buy a kirby who was making less than $800 a month in a trailer home. Im not putting the people down that bought the kirby at all my point is that the kirby company has a way to get even the lower income people to buy a kirby and are successful at doing so. Those people are about to lose thier only car cuz they cant afford to keep paying off a $2000 dollar kirby and they keep getting collection calls. Great product but not worth losing ur only car. If you want a kirby go online and get it for 800 dollars rather than have a little farret sales person come to bend you over and screw you in your own home for $2000. John harris bribes people to come work for him by telling them your gonna make $1600-$2700 a month and telling them theyre going to wisconsin dells just to get them in the place. 70% of the people who go thier first day to work for them dont come back the next. Because its a BS company. so take it from me from a victim, from someone who knows what these people do on the inside. Theyre just like cheap car sales men who sell lemon cars. Its embarrassing to say i worked for the company. John harristold me i couldnt work there because i had money problems, im only 20 years old and on my own for the first time. I had a choice to either go to ohio and work security for $120 a day full time and have a steady paycheck every month or stay and work for J&K. I was dumb enough to listen to John Harris and stayed, and now i have to borrow money and pawn off things to move back to ohio. So this J&K associates is a waste of time and their product isnt that great as they make it out to be. Take it from me, DONT WORK FOR THEM AND DONT BUY THIER PRODUCT, if you really want a kirby go online and buy it new because the kirbys they use for demos are used machines just go buy it online, it will save you $1200. Just shut the door in thier face right when they say "Hi my name is .. and im out here with J&K associates doing advertisment for the local kirby company". Dont let them screw you like they did me and other people.

i have been with the company for two months my first month i won a paid vacation to the Bahamas and got to bring my wife.i didnt have to pay for anything and its easy to get these vacations. i maid over 6 grand also! they say too you you get what you put in the company. when you first start and that is true ive seen ppl fail but they didnt work that hard and ive also seen john give alot of people money that they did not have coming just because he wanted them to succed and john is not a rip off or a scam the better you do the better he does so if you did bad in the company you obviously didnt try to hard i worked every day my first month and it was way worth it thank you john for helping me and my family get through this bad economy. and also i won over 2000 in prizes. and that was in a month and a half

I just wanted to say, thank you for writing this ripoff report! you are so on and just to let you know john might be calling you to "take this off" but you know what... people need to know what kind of company this is and the scams they are pulling off.
