i heard of this scam its crazy but i thought i could actually do it cause i would sale knives door to door i just had that much confidence in myself
plus my past sales experience i would of got @#!! done...but thats what they want you to think...thats why you have to buy your first knife set. its scams allday.

I always wondered what you had to do, money seemed real good.

Do people really buy the knives tho?

Been asked to to do it, got an interview, then decided not to show.

$18 w/ no experience is too good to be true.

Dont do it

And it is. Its not $18/hr. Its $18/appointment you set up. There is a good chance you could only be doing 1-2 appointments a day that could last longerthan an hour. A knew a girl who worked for them and she was like you'll start out as a sales person but if you are productive, you'll get promoted tothe office where you will call all the potential employees. The reason they be houndin you guys is because the office workers have their own quota to meettoo. They have to bring in x# of candidates on top of other clerical duties.

She told me if you really impress your interviewer, then you'll most likely be put straight into the office but it seems no matter what the position,you gotta bust your !+% to see any real money. Like everyone is saying, the money can be good if you don't mind working that hard for it, but there is somuch more easy money out there that Vector should be an absolute last resort for anybody

from what ive heard regardless if you make sales or not, you still get paid.
I did this back in the summer of 2003 and I was told this same thing. However I was only paid on commission.

Not to mention, the only knives i sold were to family members.

I WAS JUST READING A LETTER GETTING READY TO CALL THEM.
I NEED A JOB BADLY.
OMG WOW.
