I took a job with Vector Marketing last week. I'm supposed to be selling Cutco Knives. I've never taken a job outside of logistics and the service industries. I would like some feed back into this company if anyone has ever heard of them. I heard nothing but bad stuff so far. I'm supposed to start training this week and I'm unsure if I really want to work for them. They're also trying to get me to skip my last two classes inorder to go to their training session on thursday. I cannot do that for I have my first critique in my print class on thursday and it is my last class. Any feedback is greatly appreciated guys.

Wow, thanks for the input. Eff that job in the "A". I don't have the money to pay for training and a sample kit. So, they can politely kiss my Polish ass.

I've never heard of them until now. I did a quick search, and found a lot of bad stuff. Here's what I don't get. If they're goal is to help students earn money and experience, why would they want you to skip class? I don't know, that just seems iffy to me.These Filthy Hands:I took a job with Vector Marketing last week. I'm supposed to be selling Cutco Knives.

i good company will never make you pay for your training.

Yeah, seriously! Good companies jump at the opportunity to send employees to training. Sorry about the break though. Hope you find a better job soon.kuzi16:i good company will never make you pay for your training. -
What line of logistics have you worked in?These Filthy Hands:I've never taken a job outside of logistics and the service industries. -
That sucks man; I agree with Matt and Kuzi fully though, you shouldn't A) be skipping class and
any organization/company worth their salt should be giddy to put new hires through the appropriate training as well as providing all necessary items for the effective/successful completion of required job duties.

When I was like in 6th grade and my Brother was in college, his friend (cutie!!!) came to our house and sold my mom some Cutco knives...
I can only assume that this is who she was working for, but I can't guarantee it...
Side note: By the time I was in college we still had those knives and they were actually the bomb!
See if you can just pay for the sample set and quit, you'd get some good knives!!! -

My neighbor works for them .......... you have to pay a little to start up but if your devoted and a good salesperson ....you can make alota money with them ...... you set appointments up and do demos in peoples homes if you sell a full set the commision is rediculous and their bonus incentive is sick ..... you get paid per demo you do and the product is truly a great product ...... but really expensive .... but that will be an investment that you'll never have to invest in again ...... my mom has a set from when my parents got married and one of the handles cracked ...... that style handle was discontinued and they sent her a whole new set and only asked she discard the old set ..... they now reside at the hunting cabin . But Again i emphasize on you need to be a comfortable going into peoples homes and demoing these and be a really good devoted salesperson.

They're shady to say the least. I went to an "interview" while looking for a job years ago that just turned out to be a cult-like seminar where they attempted to sell people into going door to door to sell knives. I got up half way through and was asked what I was doing. I told the guy "sorry, this just isn't for me" and walked out.
