Getting a job with vector is easier than selling someone a knife.

Getting hired at vector is easier than getting some one to buy a single item.Thats really true because if you sell though you get commission the vector people become much richer because you have been able to get custtomers to them.Other customers may know the product through your customer however they may not mention your name as the root contact so you may not get paid and vector enjoys all the benefit.
I mean its just good for students on vacation.If you wanna do it as your job then you need really big luck.They show a lot of communication tatics but man that cannot turn a guy who is not intrested to buy a knive or spoon even if you sell it for a single buck.You will need luck to bump into someone who is actually in need of one ,may be not to use now but for the future.

I am finishing my PHD in economics at univ of california and gave up a $50 per hour job to try the cu*co jobr. 2 summers later, ive moved up to a sales manager. A scam? THe products have been around since 49 and weve been marketing them this way since 81. GOne from 750000 in sales in 1981 to 2000000 million. Our new reps need not buy the set for 145.46, they can borrow it, but they have to give a security deposit. THe set is worth over $500. Thats a 70 percent discount on buying or borrowing. Does anyone believe the profit margins are so high that , that they make money when reps buy a product at 70 % discount. Many of the reps return the sample kit for a full refund. NO scam there. What company wouldnt require a deposit on 500 worth of product. Ours is cool enought to only require a deposit of 30% of its value. As a teacher at UCSB in economics, i cant think of a better job where reps make as much in a week what they would in other jobs in a month. THere is a catch though, you have to get referrals to keep working. So what? THis is a good skill to learn in future business endeavors, and people will give them to you. THe people who think this job stinks are the ones who end up doing mindless work at resteraunts or valeting cars ( i did both of these in college). I have lots of reps in the office who work 20 hours a week and make $500 to $2000 per week. THe key is, learn how to get referrals and stick around long enough for the commission levels to move up beyond 20%. At the very worse, one makes 17.25 per appointmnet (we call this welfare). Having alot of expereince dealing with 18 year olds in my classes, the ones that complain about thier grade at the end of the semster are the same ones in vector who fail. THey blame everyone else but themselves, and could not handle the fact that they didnt have to show up to class, nor show up to team meetings, nor do any demos at all. Selling cutco is the best job a studnent could have

I would not recommend this job to anyone, It's a complete scam, the only comments that say it's a great company is people who work for vector and are a part of the scam!!!!

I'm hearing a lot of negative feedback from Vector and I got "hired" today (05/19/011) . Imagine that, I got hired right after my interview :-/ I have training next week (may 26-28) and I'm not sure if I should attend after hearing all the negative feedback. I will call them tomorrow to let them know about my decision and about the horrible comments people are making and how it's kinda making sense now.

Btw i'm 18 years old

I quit after having a long long discussion with my fmaily and friends. I couldn't take the risk because something seemed sketchy. other jobs i had, required my resume, cover letters etc, and i got paid during my training. I know i have great customer service and communications skills, but Vector is not for me.

I'm sorry because i felt like the manager felt really disappointed in me, but I don't think that I can do a job like that.

Sara Ray in New York said: For applying job you required resumes. The following website provides best sample marketing resumes. You can refer that resumes for creating your resume.
www.marketingresumes.org/

they said they needed a resume, but there are ppl show up without them, when i turned in mine, they barely look at them and she even made the comment about most employers don't look at them...

Anyhow, I got through the interview and I was invited to their full training seminar, however, they didn't say anything about if i was hired or not, they just said"I'll now welcome you to the training seminar"

I went through my first training seminar today and my first assignment is to go home and write down names, I feel really shaky about. I actually didn't know that my cousin did this when he was in college, that was many years ago. For him, he had to buy knives himself and sold like the first set to his mom, but that was the end for him. Later when they sold the house, the just gave away those knives.
I did some research myself and found out that this job requires you to go sell knives to ppl you know and it is commission based, they didn't said that though. The are no time set up for questioning on the first day of training. There are many questions i want to ask but didn't have the chance to do so. That's why i took the time tonight to research about. I don't think I want to go back tomorrow.

C'mon folks, use your heads! Don't you think if they give a job to anyone who shows up, the job is worth nothing? This outfit is harvesting leads. Everyone who comes in brings leads, a small percentage of of the pigeons make a sale or two. It's a numbers game. A very small percentage are shrewd enough to catch on to the game and join in the con. That's the only way you're going to make money in this sort of outfit - join in on the con and bilk the next crop of pigeons that come in. If you really want to make money that way, move to Nigeria or Romania and get in on the internet scams. It's easier and pays better.

1. Do PhD candidates need to be able to spell or use proper English?
2. As an economist, you should know that a product is not worth what the seller says it's worth, it's worth what the buyer pays for it. Therefore, the knives are not worth $500. They are worth $145.46 (or less).
3. As a teacher you have a fertile hunting grounds don't you? You don't sell knives, you exploit naive kids.
4. You gave up a $50/hour job for a *slim* chance to make $500 to $2000 in a good week? Check your math.
You lack credibility, nik hunter.

Actually, Vector does not allow door to door. Everything is through recommendation, we are not allowed to use the white/yellow pages or call random strangers, or walk around knocking on everyone's doors. At each appointment, we ask for a minimun number of ten references, and remind them we get paid regardless of sales
