They came to a job fair at my school, I signed up and went in for an interview today and they offered me the job. They are the marketing firm for Cutco cutlery, basically I will find my own sales leads and throw people a sales pitch at their house. I get $13 per appointment, regardless of if I make a sale. If I make a sale >$130, I get 10%, this percentage later goes as high as 50% depending on my amount of sales. I schedule my own appointments so I basically work whenever I feel like it. The only catch is I have to pay $150 deposit on the sample set. When I quit, I can return it for a full refund of the deposit, or I can sell it myself (It retails for >$500). What says the hive mind? Give it a try or eject? Vector Website |

Yeah Vector Arms is the shit. I will chime in on Cutco. My brother tried to sell for them. Quality product. The scissors I have from them will cut pennies all day. I have no doubt that their knives are decent. But that being said, they work young sales guys to death. If you can sell, they want you. If you can't sell, well you bought the starter pack at $150. Most guys they employ can't sell shit. Either you are sales or you aren't. Either way, they get atleast $150. If you can sell, good on you bro. They will hussle you hard to make sales. If you can do it you will do well. If you can't they have your money. |

Big ol scam...don't even bother. First day they have a "competition" to see who can generate the most friends/family...er...sales leads. Then they take who they think is most guillable into a back room, impress them with promises of limos out on the town for top sales, etc. Anyone that they think "knows better" and questions their program is promptly "let go". As if I would try to pawn off a $750 knife set on my family. Fuck that. They lure young, ignorant, broke high school and college kids in with promise of $17+ per hour + commision!!! SCAAAAM Anyone that says otherwise is probably a "Cutco" representative. I know, because I actually went to one of those BS fests...then left. |

They are crap. Say "no". Go find a temp job at any type of machine shop/plumber/construction/local township road crew you can find. Then totally out-work everyone around you. It'll pay off in your life much more then being a "Stupid college kid trying to sell knives." |
13 dollars per appointment? So say the appoinment is at 2:00 pm. They live 30 minutes away, so you leave at 1:30, you stay there for an hour, then drive another 30 minutes home. Ok, say you didn't make a sale. So you just worked 2 hours for $6.50 an hour. You can make more at McDonalds. I'd pass it like prune juice. |
