Vector Marketing Reviews

I only worked at vector marketing for about 2 weeks before I realized just how bad this job is. If you can afford to pay for this job (the gas money you WILL use, and wear and tear on car) then after you sell about $20,000-$30,000 worth of their product, you will probably start making some money. In order to do that you'll have to sell all that to your friends and family though. Now if you have a lot of rich friends and family, this is the job for you; otherwise, you won't last very long. The base pay OR commission pay is just plain stupid.

1st of all, they lied about who gave them my name. Said it was from Kiana. I asked her. She never heard of the Vector. 2nd: they bring you into a back room; there's supposed to be people there (? ) There were only two of us (!). 3rdly, they don't pay for the fist 3 DAYS!! They give all kinds of demos: what the knives can cut...you have to have 30-50 PEOPLE to call! THAT'S why it's ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS!!! They have friends!! The guy kept saying "I don't need to hire anyone", "I really don't need sales people right now" (really? so what are we doing here?) blah, blah, blah...yada yada....then he says you have to come in on Mon and Sun! At 6PM!!! Wha-what??? You know, just so they can kick you around a little and make you sell MORE!!! (training) HE KEPT LEAVING THE ROOM. They watch you and what you say to others!! He rushed. Said he had a training class after that. Then makes you fill out a paper with questions on it (after you fill out an sort-of application). Whew! It culminates in him asking a few more questions and whether you interested or not. My Advice: GO ELSEWHERE AND FIND A JOB!!

Honestly I find it hard to believe the reviews that I have read on this site. Vector Marketing, in my opinion, is the best job that a college student can have. A lot of. This job has opened immense opportunities for me and within the first month of working here I received 4 paychecks for over $7,000, and I also have the opportunity to collect base pay, though I personally choose not to. I also did not have to pay anything for my sample kit but I believe that the conditions may be different depending on the office that you work for.

I have family and friends who are working or have worked for Cutco/Vector Marketing in the past. They immediately warn me, NEVER WORK FOR THEM. My best friend had received a job offer and gladly took it, being a 17 year old, still in high-school, in need of money. They willingly LIED about her age, just so she may work there. They did not alert her as to what her job was, until she accepted it and signed a contract. The job is going into people's houses, be it friends, family, or if the person is desperate, strangers. You are not paid a single cent until you sell. You're only paid based off how much you sell. Cutco's working ethic is below standard, and borderline illegal.

A signature set sold for $1919 does not get you the guaranteed minimum of 10% ($191.90) commission promised by the company. Instead the company came up with this CPO and Point values that are deducted from the original sale price leaving you with $170.40 of commission ....

To be completely honest, anyone who is in the position where they're upset because they didn't receive a paycheck deserves it for being that stupid. I went to the interview. You walk in and the place is completely empty, with a couple random cheap tables set up here and there and trashy posters and what looked like prop medals are scattered across the walls. Already very weird. The "manager" is this mid-20s girl who was wearing some icky brown suit from the clearance rack at Ross and looked like she did her makeup on her way over in the car spoke to us for about three hours, showcasing her very uneducated and poor speech habits. She said that every appointment will be already set-up.

I was never paid for the 3 days of training and my last paycheck was only $5.40, which is not even our base pay of $16 per appointment and I did 12 appointments for that check plus sold over $1000.00 worth of Cutco for them. I was also forced to go to a conference in Scottsdale AZ when I didn't have the $15 to attend it. I was registered to go before I even knew about it. I confronted my boss, Jared **, here is his cell **, and now he is avoiding me. His office is located on ** Tucson, AZ 85705-1584. I also told him my car tags were expired and was on a 30 day permit so I really needed the money and told him I didn't feel comfortable driving to appointments I had set up but he didn't seem to care. Instead he was off at a ball game enjoying all the money we made for him.

I went to work with Vector and Cutco. They're a SCAM. I worked with them for about a month and I quit a month later because I waited a month for my check to come in the mail and it never came. I called Vector and I told them. They asked if I had recently moved. I said, "Yes, LESS THAN A WEEK AGO." They said, "I will need you to come in and update your info." I asked if i could give them a direct deposit number. They said, "No, it has to come in the mail." Right then, it didn't sound right. They make it sound good but it all changes. I still have their kit and that's why they wanted me to come in but that's my pay check. Good luck Vector. I'm about to be suing. Hope this helps.

I found the job on Craigslist and I was leery at first, but called anyway. The next day, I had an interview in town at 6pm. I saw the demo (simple enough) and I watched a video about the product. I was hired on the spot. The next day was training day for three days. As a group, we were told these things and I even wrote them down. No cold calls; in fact, we were told that these people already wanted to buy CUTCO and that the appointments were made for you.

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:

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.

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

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.
