Michelle, UWSI is a scam. At present there are 2 lawsuits going on in Alabama. They are banned in several states and there is evidence that they change their name when one gets to be too known. I worked for UWSI for over 6 months in 2001 and got my "Gold Pin". I was to sign my contract, but luckily I found out the truth before handing over my $6,000 for an office. Yes, they do ask for $6,000 out of your pocket before signing your contract and putting you in an office. Also you will never be finished with your sales until the total is between $10 - $15 thousand. But they never tell you that up front or even when you ask they just say "You got to do what you got to do". My manager said that on a daily bases when ever we asked him a question. The managers and other higher ups are also involved in drugs, alcohol and sexual misconduct with the female employees. I unfortunate enough to be present for several of these questionable activities. There are many secrets that you become aware of if given time, but its not worth what you lose along the way. I lost some self-respect, other job opportunities and over $15,000 trying to get the "American Dream". My advice is to run away as fast as you can before you are dragged in with them. And warn others. I wasn't fortunate enough to have found any information on the internet about them when I looked.
