You are completely right about the so called employee who has happily worked there for years. First of all, there is no way in heck you can get me or anyone else to believe that you have worked at Kirby for that long. If you have, that says a lot about the kind of person you are, and you cant possibly have a life. Kirby is NOT a good company to work for, nor is it legitimate. If it were, there wouldnt be ads out in the paper trying to recruit people every single week because people keep quitting. If it were a good company to work or you wouldnt have to trick people into coming in to interview. Kirby does A LOT of false advertising and the ads are nothing but lies. This so called person who has worked for Kirby, supposedly, for 12 years is probably the owner pretending to be someone else. Once again, in order to work for Kirby. you must have no life and enjoy not making money. Because that is exactly what you get and you know what? Its kinda like Karma has already come back to bite you in the butt. Because the kirby dealers do nothing but scam customers and in order to work at Kirby, you have to lie to customers. Thats why people dont get paid what they are promised. NO ONE gets paid what they are promised, because if they did, there would never be any job openings now would there?

i hope it makes you feel important that you worked for kirby and had a great sucess story. I highly doubt any of what you said is true but whatever makes you feel like a tough guy. As for kirby being a great business you could not be more wrong. It only worked out for you because your just like all the kirby dealers we are complaining about. A selfish liar who doesn care about honesty business practices. If Kirby is such a great company to work for then why do you have to lie on your job postings and in the interviews? Because the truth is YOUR NOT!

I spent 12 yrs. with the Kirby Vacuum co. and all i can say is, all you whinny crybabies need to get something constructive to do with your life. They said i would make 250 a sale, they said i can be rich, they said, they said, whaaa!!whaaa!!! for every kirby kollege dropout, there is a success story. I am no longer in Kirby but for no fault of the co. or the opportunity. Everything i made or didn't make while in kirby was on my shoulders. I sold 46 kirby's my first 3 mo. and made $11,000. Not to mention the trips, gold jewelry and numerous other prizes. All for staying positive and working hard. Two years after i started in kirby my best friend called me asking if i still sold those "expensive vac's?" he was a college student at the time. He came and worked with me for a while. To make a long story short, 10 years later he IS making 200k per year, has great credit, and treats all his people fair. I'm not saying it was all great times and easy, but ask yourself one question if i am a person who comes from nothing, everyone expects you will be nothing, and you have nothing, What do i have to lose? This is a legit 100 year old opportunity that will make you Financially independent. IF YOU WORK HARD!!!!! It wll teach you responsibility, organization, and independence. You have to have thick skin to surrive in any sales organization, not orde takers like insurance or car salesman, but real sales. I now am the regional manager of the largest state in the country for a worlwide co. that advertises heavily. it is a 6 figure a year positin. DO YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE JOB WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE FROM KIRBY. I owe The Kirby opportunity a lot. P.S I would NEVER use anything but a Kirby 4 Life. My grandmother had hers 38 yrs. and paid $400.00 back in the 60's. How many Vac's will you buy in 38 yrs. Ex-Vacman

Hi, so me and my friend saw the ad for quest distribution in the newspaper and we are in need of a job and this seemed like a god send. we got there and filled out the applications and waited for maybe 20 minutes and then seth roszman brought us in for the interview. he seemed like a nice enough guy but all through the interview he kept avoiding what exactly we would be doing or how they pay and anything really bout the company and the only thing he would really say is that we can make alot of money and fast. he proceeded to show us pictures of vacations they went on as a company and just hyped up the place so much. we B.S'd for a good 20 minutes then he said we'd be perfect for the company and we were hired. my friend and i were excited but as the night went on and we thought bout it and started putting things together we realized that we knew nothing of the place. all night we got really nervous and we quickly went from excited to pissed off. we realized that were gonna be loser door to door sales men that everyone hates and we decided that we were not gonna go back to the company the next day for orieantation. im lucky that this company didn't get us and we got out rather quickly but i feel bad for the 6 other individuals that were interviewing with us. i wish them the best of luck and hope that they realize this place is a scam and i wish i can help in shutting them down. P.S. the only good thing bout this company is the beautiful receptionist they have.
