TO LISA, REGARDING NOT BEING PAID FOR TRAINING. ALL KIRBY OFFICES ARE INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED. WHEN YOU WERE ACCEPTED TO GO THROUGH TRAINING YOU WERE NOT AN EMPLOYEE, YOU WERE A INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. THAT IS WHY THEY DID NOT NEED TO HAVE YOU SIGN TAX FORMS. YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN TAXES, ALSO YOU COULD WRITE OFF A LOT OF YOUR EXPENSES AGAINST MONEY YOU WOULD HAVE MADE. THE REASON YOU DID NOT GET PAID IS YOU DIDN'T FINISH THE TRAINING. WHY WOULD THE DISTRIBUTOR PAY YOU IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH. MANY KIRBY OFFICES HAVE A GUARANTEE PROGRAM FOR THEIR SALES PEOPLE. MOST OFFICES HAVE A WEEKLY GUARTANTEE , TO COLLECT YOUR GUARANTEE YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES IN YOUR DEALER AGREEMENT. THE GUARANTEE PROGRAM IS FOR A SET NUMBER OF PRESENTATIONS DURING A SET PERIOD OF TIME. IF YOU COMPLETE 15 QUALIFIED PRESENTATIONS WEEKLY YOU WOULD BE GUARANTEED $400.00 . HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES. IF YOU HAVE COMMISIONS OF $600.00 FOR THE WEEK YOU WOULD COLLECT THE $600.00. WEEK NUMBER 2 YOU DID 15 PRESENTATIONS AND DIDN'T SELL ANY UNITS YOU WOULD GET THE $400.00 GURANTEE.

Sorry people, I just read the rip-off report I wrote and it didn't make any sense, Its all I have to say is dont ever work for them they make it seem like its a good job but all they do is tell you lies. They hire you and use you, have you demastrate kirbys on your famliy sopposley to help you on your first day, well thats a lie, they have you demostrate so then your famliy feels sorry for you so then they will buy one so on and so on and then they make 1500, well then i asked gabe the area distrbutor if there was any W2 forms to fill out and you know what he told me, that the is none, whats that tell you. Well I quit and now there telling me that I dont get payed for the training cuase i got smart and looked them up and didn't put my famliy through the missory of them harrasing them to buy one, and i travelled 35 miles each way to try to get a job abd now a days its hard to find one and then you do and there rip-offs thats rude expessially when you have kids. I just want to say to everyone out there you cant trust no one no more for now on im checking into every where I go now, dont trust them thats for sure.
