Vector Marketing


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

I have been working with Vector Marketing for two years. I do like my job, and I was pretty shocked to see such a misinforming article on your reputable site. I believe the article should be taken down, or at least removed because it is outdated. A few points:

1) The company no longer requires the fully refundable security deposit for the sample demonstration kit. In fact, we loan them out for free these days.
2) I've never heard claims of us being a Fortune 500 company.

3) The ad for the $3,500 set of Wusthof on sale for $2,000 is very real. It was in the Williams Sonoma catalog.

Here's the link: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news03/save.html. I understand that many people do not do well with Vector Marketing. Sales and providing a high level of customer service can be hard. However, I wouldn't call it a scam. It is kind of like the music industry. Many go into it, and many fail. Many find a little success, and a few who contribute great effort find great success. However, just because many musicians fail, it doesn't mean that it is a scam.

Please remove or edit this article - it is outdated and misinforming, and is costing several people an opportunity with Vector every day.

The company has completely misrepresented itself to the youth of our community. I believe they need to be reprimanded. My son was hired by Eric in Baton Rouge, LA, upon receiving a letter in the mail for an employment opportunity. My son made many orders from friends, relatives, and neighbors. However, he never received a paycheck, and the people haven't received the merchandise.

I'm filing a complaint about the post against Vector Marketing. They do not make you pay for anything unless you damage the sample pack they give you.

I worked with Vector Marketing for about two months now and I still haven't seen a paycheck. The manager has refused to contact me. I have left him several messages but no response. I haven't been compensated for any time I went into the office nor the money spent for public transportation.

I worked for this Vetco Marketing Corporation aka Cutco Company beginning work July 10, 2010 for about two weeks. I realized they were a scam when I was hearing they had lawsuits against them from other students accusing them of not paying them. They had me pay for the products I was advertising, a total of $152.54. After about a week of working with them I decided I did not like the work I was partaking in. I continued employment waiting to receive my check in the mail of $64.62, to see if it really was a scam. I waited for about another week and texted my manager Tim ** to see when my check was suppose to be here.

He asked me "Did you get your first check in paper?" I replied, "I haven't gotten anything in paper." Tim **: "You saw your statement online right? When you went to VectorConnect." Jacob (Me): "What statement?" Tim **: "How did you know how much your check should be? By going online on VectorConnect?" Jacob (Me): "Ok ya... My commission check is $64.62." Tim **: "Yeah so that's already in the mail for you. I have no control of when it gets here. The postal device does and the rest will be deposited Monday." Jacob (Me): "You said Thursday...It's not here." Tim **: "I assumed Thursday but Flagstaff also does not have a Postal service on Saturday so maybe that's why it's one day behind. In Texas we get them Thursday. "Jacob (Me): "Assuming makes an ass out of you and me." Tim: und this time of the week. I'm in training so I can't be trying to answer all your small questions. Come to the team meeting and ask Brittany when she got her first check, Look Jacob it's in the mail. You saw it yourself inline "Paid via Company Check" and you can ask any rep when they get their check and they'll tell you are"

After that I quit the following Friday July 23, 2010. Now it is Tuesday July 27, 2010, my check is still nowhere to be seen. To be noted that I never filled out a W-4 form, meaning they are not paying their taxes, nor having those that they are receiving checks are not paying their taxes either.

i looked in the ad thinking that i would get paid $18 per hour. Technically the ad said "$18 base salary/appt." i was under the impression that i would be getting paid $18 per hour.I finally finished training which i did not get paid for and I had to paid $145.00 for a set of knives my mother didn't want to buy from me. after a few days, i had about 16 appointments but no one wanted to buy the knives. I called my manager to tell him that I faxing my presentation sheet and he asked me "how'd you do", when i told him that I didn't get any sales he told me wouldn't pay me until i came to the office for another meeting.He said exactly that "I never heard of someone not getting a sale" and said flat out he wouldn't pay me for the week.the office for me is 2 hrs away and being a high school student without a car it was almost impossible for me to get there. Now my manager had people calling all of my appointments which most of them where teachers didn't want telemarketers calling them so they gave me the school number and thier extension. extension

The company does not pay for training.

I was not told that I would have to put down a deposit to get to get the demonstrations. I read about the company and found that you must pay a deposit. You must report to a meeting every Friday night @ 9:00 p.m. No business I know has meetings that late.
