The point is that many companies like this lie to you off the bat. They lie to their clients, and use any means neccesary to get people in for interviews. Their turn-over rate is astronomical. This is un-ethical. Because a few people who never went to college are pushy enough to go door-to-door these companies suceed. Having working for one of the most sucessful scam companies; Vector, aka Cutco, I see first-hand how they lie to customers about their products, and how they brain-wash their employees to never question the company guidelines or the product quality. If I am lied to over the phone, in person, and the first day, it is not an ethical company.

I personally have worked for a company that does a very similar process. There is a reason for it. Usually the job involves going door to door or doing direct marketing for the company at hand. If these companies were to tell everybody coming in what their job would consist of they wouldnt return. That is why the process is vague. The people that do return and find the work to be simplistic tend to work out a little better. The reality is I have become very successful doing door to door and now I manage my own office making 6 figures with no college degree. I havent worked for this company but I have worked with one who did things in a extremely similar fashion. If they told me up-front I would be doing sales and getting paid commission I wouldnt have stayed. Im glad they used the technique they used to get me in so I could see the opportunity at hand. In my experience the people who dont succeed or last have similar characteristics to yourself. They probably dont have much ambition in life and they would be rather be given a steady check and told there only worth $10.00 an hour. These type of business's look for self-motivated people who want to have more control over their income and lives. They are for people who dont wish to spend the next 40 years working for someone else only to retire elderly and broke. It is very possible that the company you applied for was unethical and possibly a scam. Understand there is 2 sides to every story though and that type of work is restricted to special individuals. What you viewed as a "scam" is actually responsible for putting 100's of individuals in a ddifferent tax bracket. I am 24 years old and very successful because of the open-mindedness I had when looking for a job. (or should I say opportunity) 98% of our country makes less then $100,00 anually because they live with fear and doubt like yourself. Good luck too you.
