long story short, I found an ad in the paper, emailed them an application at 3 am, which made me AUTOMAICALLY qualified, went in for an interview the next day (out of eight of us, we all passed the pre-screening) and was automatically hired. my first day of training lasted six hours with only a single ten minute break (the office was very hot) that was not much more than learning a speech you recite to your customers and having the idea that working for Vector was awesome and Cutco is the best into our heads. it's just brainwashing. while they try to reel you in with the idea you're going to make TONS of money, they don't mention you have to provide your own transportation, call all your clients, and constantly go to meetings. they present you with paycheque copies of their highest earners- but beware- if they're CONSTANTLY hiring, they obviously have a high turnover rate and very few people actually make the $300 they claim you'll make. I left after my first day of training- like many others on this site, something didn't seem right to me from day one and there were far too many red flags that kept popping up. I'd rather be working 40 hours a week at minimum wage than constantly driving around to make $19 a presentation (most of which will be used to pay for the GAS to get to each presentation). I called the manager, thanked them for the first day of training, but explained I found this wasn't the kind of work for me, and they turned from being friendly to downright nasty in the space of fifteen seconds. do NOT waste your time.
