		<description>you know it is sad to see all these comments against vector marketing. by the way for v2archer...i would just like to correct you me being a receptionist and all, we don't tell anyone that they are paid hourly. we say that we have a $14 base pay for those who live here in san Antonio, and that we do have an incentive pay that does start off at a ten percent.they are the one of the worlds finest cutlery that base pay is a 14 dollars for each appointment that you set whether you sell or not. Thats what base appt means by the way.  Apparently after reading all of these comments it made me kinda laugh just because the negative information everyone is putting out is wrong. for those with the different base pays...lol that is because you live in a different state. of course the pay will be higher in new york because the cost of living is higher duh!! that goes for everyone else as well. you know i understand that this job isnt for everyone but when you come in and learn the communication skills to talk to people you dont know and learn to interact with them in the end it pays off to have that experience whether you were successful in the job or not. you still get something out of it. everyone here at our office who is hired is treated so well and is able to see our manager as a friend. we keep the office real upbeat to keep everyone motivated. if the managers ever seem harsh its just because they want to help you! its sad how one cant take any kind of criticism to make them better at what they do. 

ive seen people come and go in this office and to be honest the people that leave are people who quit because they don't want to really work. we have many reps here at our office who are making 1000 dollar paychecks each week. four of those were seniors in high school. thats the honest truth. you might see folding clothes or bagging food more legit than vector but can you please answer me what you get out of that?? what professional job can you get with having a resume filled with mall jobs and grocery stores...sorry but i don't think thats a very impressive resume when trying to get a "REAL" job without a degree.

so talk all you want about vector but we haven't been in business for so long that its a scam...and its sad to see people who believe it is a scam waste their time on us to write all of these false comments. what i see are people who have misunderstood the company and what it is we do. by the way we work with cutco products. they are the worlds finest cutlery. you can go ahead and check that out as well to get some real information. if you haven't heard of them its because you can only buy the products through vector unlike henckles where as you can find them at williams sonoma and are alot more expensive.

for the girl without the paychecks that has nothing to do with vector. that has to do with whomever your manager is. so if you quit you quit on him not vector because he pays you. so everyone else keep working at your minimum paying jobs at the mall and grocery store and quit trying to bring vector marketing down. it wont work because we are legit and will continue being a million dollar company whether you accept the company or not.</description>

		<description>Hey everyone, I'm not defending Vector nor am I bashing it. I recently started and made about $200 in my first week and I'm now at 15% commission but the only problem is I'm having trouble getting referrals to get appointments. I need money but right now I would not want to work a normal job like most high school kids(I recently graduated) making about 8 an hour.</description>

		<description>Hi there,

I completely fell for the scam like 5 yrs ago.  I was a college sophomore and needed some extra cash.  All I needed to hear was $13.75/hr. A lot of kids I went to high sch w/ ended up doing it and we were in a small town w/ a lot of rich families. I busted my a** for vector for about a month and then I got tired.  It just didn't make sense after a while comparing the money I was making to what it was costing me in gas and time. Though I did make a few sales that boosted my confidence a little.

It gave me a little sales experience and taught me about Independent contracting, but as far as a summer job for $$, it was a complete joke. My branch manager was Adam something. He had an interesting last name and he was the cutest, most charming guy you ever met.  He did sooo much "team building" stuff it wasn't even funny. Like volleyball, pizza parties.  I even fell for the conference thing and spent money going to Chicago with my branch.

I got tired though and stopped making appts and going to meetings. By the end of the summer, the office had disappeared as if it was never there.  I think the purpose of branch offices is to seek out towns with enough wealthy people and college kids. makes a good market.  I did love the knives though.</description>

		<description>When I first received a letter from Vector in the mail (a few days ago), I was very skeptical, but in need of a job desperately. I made an appointment and went for my interview yesterday. I've never been to such a huge interview before. People younger than me, fresh out of high school. I'll be a Senior in College this term.

Plus it was 2 hrs long! Who does that? It was a waste. I got "hired" and the manager seemed so real. I suppose I'm glad I learned from this experience and learned it's a scam. I'm still impressed  by the knives set and scissors! I'm sure not going to support the company at all. I really wish to contact all the people who are about to get the job and make them aware of this. I should print out a copy of this scam story and put them on cars in that parking lot. I want to do something about this!</description>

		<description>Ha ha I just got a letter like this in the mail today June 24 2008. Have to thank my business class for this I was always told to do a back up check on a company before applying for any positions. Well it is ironic that three out of three of their sites have a problem loading the page when every other site works. Good thing I found your forum. My letter differed from yours in the way that the District Manager's name was Mollie Innocent... nice name I thought that was just a little odd at first. And the return number is 732-597-5380. I also found it odd that they were offering job opportunities in the town right next to mine but I never heard of it. Well thanks.</description>

		<description>Anyone that defends this company needs their heads examined. I fell for this letter. I went to college in Tampa and received a letter from Vector. They promised great pay, great experience, yadda yadda. Wow was I taken for a fool. It is a scam plain and simple. They don't tell you anything until you actually show up there. They do not care about the people they hire and they work on a volume basis. Vector sends millions of letters and count on a percent of responses. The ones stupid enough to work there sell the products and make zero money at it, but Vector gets fat bonuses on merchandise sold, millions worth of it. Some people actually lose money with this piss poor piece of shit wanna be company. I was there for 3 days, and ran! I finished my degree in business and now have a REAL job. The person that went to Harvard...please! No self respecting true business grad, whether it be Harvard, Princeton, or Bob's school of business would ever defend such companies.  They are bottom feeders that will make money regardless because of people not doing their research and getting snagged by their web of deception. My question is, where the hell are the parents of these kids that are getting used by these jackholes???</description>
