i do agree that if a deal is too good to be true then it probably is….do i recommend this job to people? no way its like door to door sales but with your family or friends, i could never sale shit to any of my family or friends unless if its something that they really want or need.

Another troll trying to lie to defend scam companies like Vector. NO legitimate job requires that you BUY the supplies from the company. Quit scamming students. You should be ashamed of yo self honey !

-They target young people, usually teenagers at the high school level
and sometimes college students.
-They send you a letter informing you about something called the “Position”
but they don’t tell you what the position is, you have to schedule an interview.
-They give you plenty of perks, and the best one is definitely the pay. A
teenager may easily look over the deliberately abbreviated note saying:
“$16.75 base-apt.” and think that the job is actually paying 16+ bucks an hour.
However this is untrue because that abbreviaton stands for “based on appointment”
—in other words, you only get paid when you make a sale.
-The interview office is a cheap room that they most likely rented just for interviews.
They act like they just moved in and everything is still being set up, but the signs
were duct taped to the wall outside and the office doesn’t even have a finished floor,
just cement.
-Before the interview, there are about 30 people in the room, some are going out and
some are coming in. They said business hours were from 8am-10pm and interviews
were about 2 hours per group. Doing a little math, I figured about 230 applicants were
interviewed all day. And yet they were able to call me almost immediately after I got
home to tell me that I got the job!? There’s no way that over the course of 30 minutes
the interviewer would be able to go through all 230 applications and select me as the
top pick for the job. I mean, there were college graduates with more experience
than anyone else in the room, yet they chose me? Something was really fishy at this
point
-I simply assumed that everyone that went in for the interview that day was hired. Why?
Because in the interview they specifically mentioned a three day job training seminar
that ends with you buying a “demo set” of the knives they sell. Which is $145. During
the interview, they said the 145 dollars was only a security deposit and was only there
to make sure that people didn’t steal the knives and that is understandable except for the
fact that they have your name, number, and address and who’s going to get away with that anyway? I later did some online research only to find out that the purchase wasn’t refundable,
and that’s why Vector should hire every applicant they come accross and encourage them to
go to training. So that they can get scammed.
-Just to be nice, when I found out about all this, I called the place and explained to them that
I could not take the job because my parents would not allow it. Which was true. The woman on the other line suddenly switched from friendly, business tone to pushy, annoying saleswoman tone in an instant. She told me to “just do it” (seriously, are we selling knives or drugs here?) and “just go get a ride from a friend” (ok, drugs then) and basically told me to ignore my parents because once I got the job they would be “ok with it”. Right, because she obviously knows my parents. The end of the call was what really pissed me off. I basically said “No, I can’t make it, sorry.” and she said, “You know, we chose you out of hundereds of applicants. I’ll be expecting to see you there.”
At which point I simply had to hang up on her.
-Oh and another thing about the interview. They tell you not to be a pushy salesman, and don’t
overly exaggerate the product and all this bullshit about honesty. How repulsive. Lecturing us about honesty while they are taking advantage of teenagers and lying to our faces. Is that irony?
