Vector

I got suckered into responding to one of Vector's ads. The person answering the phone lied to all the questions I asked . The " interview" was sort of a cattle call.Their Scarborough office is a monthly rental office over a dry cleaners furnished with folding tables and folding metal camp chairs.The job is nothing more than door to door sales of kitchen knives, commission only, not even gas expenses.BEWARE !

Really? Commission only? No base pay of $13.75 per appt. as they say? Maybe I just got suckered too....

This is a company that just does continues advertising to lure people in so that they can just create a database of potential job applicants.

They are very aggressive in having you come into their office and waste your time with no job interview to go to at all.

Those places are all the same. I live in Tampa and there are quite a few of those scammers down here. They usually advertise in Monster and other job boards with ads like Sports Marketing, enty level customer service, Marketing, etc. They often post ads with ridiculous stating salaries that require little to no experience.

The whole recruitment process they use is a total joke. After you apply, they call you in for an interview without asking any you questions. The one I applied to had some bimbo who claimed she worked in HR call me for my interview. Without asking me any questions about my background she said I would be meeting with the president of the company....hmm

When I got to the office, they were interviewing so many people that there was no place to sit. It was ridiculous. They were interviewing people like a factory produces widgets.

After this whole process my interviewer told me the job is working outside door-to-door sales...a**hole could have told me that over the phone.

Anyone interested in this type of “promotional sports/entertainment” employment must realize what you are not being told during your first interview.

1) If you don’t read these posts before coming back to see if any of this is valid, you will show up for a "practice" day and you will be assigned to 3-5 people so you can sell discount coupons (baseball tickets, car washes, salon/spa, etc., rounds of golf, etc.) walking house to house.

2) Your driver or "leader" for the day will have no intended plan, just drive to a neighborhood and told to hit as many residential homes as possibly.

3) No salary, 100% commission, and no benefits, just promises of untold riches of you can make it for a few weeks, or a few months.

4) Most of these companies just need fresh bodies, anyone between the age of 20-25 looking to chase the dollar anyway they can, since these companies know turnover will be high, replacing new bodies is very easy with all the ads they run on these sites below.

5) Hope this helps.
