Look up traveling sales crews. This company hires people over the phone and sends them bus tickets. I worked for the company about four years ago and it was the worst two weeks I ever had. Its more like a cult then a job. The irs and the department of labor should look into this company. Its an all black company. They only keep a few white sales agents around. They will hire white girls right before they leave a city and they will be used by the guys in the crew and then left on the side of the road. The people that work for this company are the worst of the worst. I few years ago a sales rep raped and beat a lady while going door to door selling their products. Nathan edwards acts like he is helping inner city kids, but its bullshit. A handfull of people make money. People stay with the company because they do not have a place to go. If you see them at your door do not open it and do call the police.

I have worked for the biggest competitors of Advanage, (a nearly identical product) selling product door to door. I am familiar with the techniques in selling this product door-to-door and where as the company is responsible for it's representatives, they still have little control over the door-to-door reps and how they present themselves. They are "Salesman" after all; a profession known for being scandless-swindlers who make their money (and lots of it) by being charming and selling themselves to anyone and everyone, typically leaving their biggest prey (the nave consumers) left in a state of insecurity from regret of purchase (mostly from price), and feeling a sense of being "ripped off". In my personal opinion, it is the consumer's responsibility to be aware of their purchase, and any neglect on collecting details in writing on any verbal agreement leaves them at fault. I believe it is unethical to practice sales in this manner. Even with legitimate sales positions in order to be successful you are required to push product on people even when they cannot afford it. I believe this company provides a product that is unique to all other products, I have not found any in-store cleaning solvents that work half as well, and on top of that it it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The asking price for the products does seem steep, but where else are you going to get it? If you don't like the price, then buy something else. After all, you didn't buy the product from the door-to-door representative, you bought the representative. I don't believe that the company has your worse interest at hand, they provide a good product and if someone is misrepresenting them, I believe they would do what is right, get the issue addressed and work towards getting it resolved. Here are your facts: Austin Diversified Products, Inc. (the company behind USAdvanage) has had accreditations through the Better Business Bureau since September 22, 1988. Their current rating is "Satisfactory". If there is an unresolved issue, I would go to the BBB. http://chicago.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=46&bbb=0654&firm=2858
