I'm so glad you shared this. I went there maybe two years ago and I've experienced the same thing. They have a script for everything, and they run a pyramid business. They hired everyone that went to the interview , not to sound judgmental but there was an individual dresses like he was going to the beach . I did love the demonstration and their product, but nobody I knew would pay that much money for a set of knives.

I feel stupid for even getting through the interview. I felt like the shit. I'm going to call tomorrow and cancel the training. Well at least i got over my anxiety for interviews.

Everything she says is EXACTLY what happened to me today at my interview. I got the job, we'll see what happens lol. But yeah the whole setup is hella shady

The training is Extremely detailed and teaches you exactly how to sell the stuff. You do friends and family demos for like a week, and after that, you get into real people and start making real money. So easy. Perfect student job.

Wish I saw this before I scheduled a damn interview for tomorrow

the whole experience made me feel so embarrassed because i thought i got a good job and had to go tell my girlfriend that it ended up being a scam. i hate them so much

It's really an old fashioned method. But I suppose in today's world, getting a letter in the mail feels more special and alluring than something sent straight to your spam inbox.

You remind me so much of Kirsten Dunst.

After the first "interview" I never showed up again.

she's telling the truth...everything she said happened to me but i didnt go to my interview because i had a bad feeling about that place

OMG, I promise u. You just described my entire interview process I just had yesterday to a T. The penny cut, rope, the leather. That's crazy

This is crazy. I just had this same experience yesterday. Everything you said in this video is what I felt and saw for myself. Thank you. Very informative

I had almost the exact same experience. The manager graduated from the same high school as me, so he was wearing his class ring that day. Like he graduated like 10 years ago. Seriously who still wears their class ring after 10 years? The dude was just trying to butter me up... It's funny seeing all of the stories like mine

Let me clear things up: Everyone currently in charge of the company started as a sales rep selling knives, they all started from the bottom, if they can do it, so can I, that's my mindset, been working there for a month and I'm $8,711 in sales, which isn't great but it ain't bad either but the best thing of it all is that I am now on track to open my own Vector office in April/May, getting ready to make 6 figures in a few months ;) this company is not like any other company out there, they pay you what you're worth, you get paid based on your efforts, not by hour like every other crappy job out there does, leaving aside the fact that part time jobs make you trade your most valuable thing about you: your time, for money; they put a cap on how much money you can make because there are only a certain amount of hours you can work, so your paycheck has that cap; on the other hand, Vector allows you to get paid as much as you want, if you want to make a comma paycheck, you can do it, is it guaranteed? No, BUT the opportunity is there. Hopefully this clears the air

Yes lmaoo when I got home from that interview , my mom was yelling at me saying how it was a scam. It's not a scam but it just wasn't for me ,my family is definitely not buying that stuff lol

It's funny. I got a call from Vector Marketing last month to set up an interview. I figured "Got nothing better to do", so I went in. They asked me what I wanted out of a job and I simply told them that I wanted a job that didn't require me to do a lot. I didn't get the job, which is probably a first, and I take pride in that. I got another call today from CutCo wanting to set up an interview. CutCo is a great product, I just don't see many people willing to spend $1150 on a set of kitchen knives...unless you're a chef or someone who likes to brag about how expensive their stuff is.

I called it quits with them just today. I literally didn’t know what I got myself into cause I needed a job. Thank god I freed myself from this and felt it was a HUGE waste of time going through the whole process. Ima be honest I’d rather work at fast food than doing something I’m not so hot at. 😤

The way you tell this story is so funny. You have a great since of humor. my experienced sucked too. :/ but.. you live and learn.

I'm so glad I came across this video. I currently work for Cutco and I feel absolutely miserable there. The managers are like vultures. They never leave you alone, are constantly in your ear, and expect your entire life to revolve around Cutco as they pretty much try to force you into going into all these meetings and conferences (including the SC2/SC3) they have. I haven't even received a paycheck yet! The only reason I'm still there is because I couldn't find work anywhere else and am hoping to get a small amount of cash at best before dropping out

As a high school student my first job was as a receptionist at Cutco. I tried to like it, I really did, but the experience has kind of scarred me and I hated working there. I felt dishonest and I hated the way calling people was set up and I knew it was wrong but I kept pushing it in the back of my mind. I'm glad I don't work there anymore, I can honestly say working there has helped me decide that I never want to have a job in sales or just sit at a desk job, so I guess that's good. I know what I don't want now :)

I agree with you about the interview process. I remember attending one in Savannah GA. I went because I was invited by 2 friends who were also invited and had added my name to a list of contacts for the company. I was curious to see what they sold because I had never heard of "Vector Marketing". There were about 20 other applicants there, we were shown the product line and were pitched. We were told to sell knives to "a list of friends and family" (in my opinion..such a silly idea). The hiring manager began bringing in 3 people at a time into a private interview session after completing a 1-2+ hour info session. Myself and 2 friends were the 2nd group to sit with her. She told us that according to the information we shared with them that we are the 2nd group she really liked and would like to hire us today. Then asked us Why we wanted to be apart of the team and how would we make the team better. Afterwards, she pulled out 3 forms where we would sign a contract, agreeing to pay for the starter kit and attend trainings. I was the only one out of the 3 to decline right on the spot, and she started asking me direct/weird questions on why i didn't want to work with them. I remained professional by telling her it just wasn't for me, (honestly guys, I can't sell products that i'm not passionate about.) But she insisted on asking questions like..."Well why did you come here and waste X amount of hours to turn down this opportunity"...she said something like that. It got uncomfortable really quick Lol, maybe because the interview wasn't private (2 other applicants in the room sitting and looking at me like.."Dude, i think you just pissed her off.") I left and never looked back. My 2 friends signed the forms, but never stuck with the Vector Marketing opportunity. Whenever I meet ppl on Facebook who have experience with Vector, I got mixed reviews about the company, but for the most part, many people left because the Company methods of Training were useless. If you can't sale, don't partner with Vector Marketing. If you can sale, give it a shot. Nice video review Life of Chelsey very honest.

You just save me time and hours well spent on earning money elsewhere. Thank you kindly!

I am a Sales person, I've done 5 years of Door to to Door Sales. And what I gotta say is.........I'm surprised Vector is still in buissness! I mean you gotta make appointments with strangers over the phone, drive to their house, and do an hour presentation in their house! You know how hard that is? I will be blunt, Door to Door Sales is easier!

Oh my goodness. I just got a call from someone from Vector. Luckily I said I'll think about it, and that I will call the lady back on my own time. I did some research and found your video. Thank you for confirming this scheme! Crazy that you experienced this 6 years ago and they are still doing this in 2021

They're not a scam, but they need to change their ways

Thank you so much Chelsey for the video. I'm a recent high school graduate and looking for job, and I had my interview scheduled for tomorrow. I was kind of excited for this, since it's first time applying for a job. But looking at your video now definitely has changed my mind! I would rather not waste my time for something like this. Thank you again!

I just applied like a week ago and got a call the dame day too. I live seven hours away from where I'm moving to and will be working so I had to schedule my interview a week or two out and I'm glad I did! I thought it was super weird they called me the same day and had scheduled my appointment for 7 at night so I will not be going. I REALLY appreciate your video and explaining your experience because it helped me make up my mind about goint to this interview.

i did the vector thing. i knew after the interview that it was a scam but went in for the first day of training. i had to walk out halfway through. they made us role play and i HATE that.

Man this unlocked something in my brain that I haven’t thought about in years such a bizarre experience

Thank you so much for sharing.. I got the letter in the mail and was going to apply part time, really glad I saw this first.

thank u so much for this I just got the text today saying they could schedule an interview asap & I was literally gonna go. Thank you for not letting me waste my time

I freaking knew it!!!! Thank you sooo much posting this. I won't go to the interview next week. Screw them. Iol. You're awesome. Ur enunciation is very good. Great video

I saw right thru there bull shit when I was 17. The presenter was well dressed young( bout 10 years older) and talked good but yeah I could just sense the " pyramid scheme" and walked out dispite getting thru the first interview. I live in Florida to every thing you said I went thru to ! Even the long wait and dying of thirst while my mother was texting me where I was at. It sucks but is also reassuring that someone else had a similar experience because I thought it was just me whoooah man.

Omg, Chelsey thank you soooo much. I've only had a telephone interview the day after I filled out their app and the girl said the exact same things your saying verbatim! Now that I've seen this it is too good to be true, and JANKY! I MEAN AN INTERVIEW AT 7 AT NIGHT! GET YO LIFE! TY again

Well a big Thank You to you! I'm glad I came across this video I just got off the phone with them to set up an interview but I felt a little iffy about it. So I watched your video and you told me all there is to know about this company. Thanks for tbe heads up!

Literally had almost the same experience over the phone yesterday. Thanks for taking the time to spread the word. It really helps. :)

im glad that i saw this video. because i was just gonna go to their interview.

i once gave them a prank call which lead me to call them out on their bullshit before i loudly hung up the phone lol

Girllllll! Thank you for this video! I have an "interview" tomorrow at 2 and I'm no longer going to waste my gas and my time.

thanks for saving my ass and my time. You the best.

Thank you for the video. I recently had an interview, and didn't take it. You helped me reassure and reinforce to not feel bad about backing down from this weird opportunity. Interestingly, I had a very similar experience related to the recruitment process. I totally understand and respect everything you expressed. Sincerely

Thank you so much for this video. I'm home from college and trying to find a summer job, and I got a call from them today, asking me to come in for an interview right away. I immediately felt suspicious and did some research on Vector Marketing. I can't believe what I'm hearing/reading! Literally, everything that you said has been true for me. I don't think I will be going in for the interview; I'm not even going to waste my time.

Thank you for letting me know about this...now I am seriously contemplating whether or not I should go get interviewed by them.

I personally was excited because this was my firts job ever but now that i saw ur video, i did begin to notice all that u were saying. and now i know the truth. I am cancelling the training tomorrow and return the knives i was borrowing for the demos. I hate it when im lied to and this has helped me realize what a dumb ass i was

I worked for them after I got out of high school, and trying to "honestly" sell their products I ended up looking like a fool to my friends and family. The few family members that did buy were very happy with the knives that they bought (only after time and use proved that they had bought a quality product). The one who got screwed out of the deal was me, I made little to no money the time I worked for them and walked away feeling like I was a fool for even being lured into working for such a corrupt corporation.

My experience has been very different from this. You get payed base pay or commission which ever is higher. The interview possess does happen quickly, and maybe they do take a lot of people. However, a lot of people aren't comfortable with sales or aren't committed and leave. This model of sales doesn't work for everyone but that doesn't mean its a scam. If something isn't what you expect you can choose to adapt or leave, but why tarnish the reputation of a company just because of that? Not once did I feel manipulated. I too thought it paid by the hour at first. But, when it became clear that it was per appointment or commission I had to decide if I was okay with that. Some people are some aren't and there is nothing wrong with that.

I swear not even kidding every detail you spoke about happened to me today that's why I started researching just did not feel right. So happy I did my research

Thanks for this video. Confirmed some of my own suspicions. One of the things they told me when I spoke to them on the phone the first time was that I would only be dealing with people who had already expressed an interest in the knives. So I was thinking it was going to be with people who had contacted the company and wanted a representative to show them the knives. Then I show up for the first interview and find out that I have to find the people and set up all the appointments. Once you factor in all the time taken to set up appointments and travel to them, especially if you don't know people in the immediate area, you aren't even making minimum wage (at least in the area I live). I do believe it's a job that if you are willing and able to start slow you can make a good profit but the time just doesn't seem worth it to me. Plus working for a company that deceives you right off the bat doesn't seem good either.

Chelsey, THANK YOU for posting this video! I have a friend who has an appointment TOMORROW! I *am* looking around the web finding out the commentary about this company, and the red flags are PLENTIFUL!

I was in desperate need for a job and I just so happened to get a letter in the mail from Vector Marketing; when I read it, it seemed like something for me. I was enticed by the pay (which is based on how many appointments you do), flexible hours (not completely true, you have to go to the office for a meeting once a week) and just because I was desperate for a job. What you said was true. I even got an interview the day after I called. For me, the interview was not a group interview. It was more like a sales pitch. The training is definitely unpaid. The first day consists of going over this sales script and how to present the products; as well as coming up with a list of people you think would be interested (names & phone numbers). Day 2 was basically more reading from the script and setting up appointments from the list you made. Day 3 is basically the same as the first two days; they also give you your "demo kits" here. Fortunately, I didn't have to pay the security deposit. After you finish your appointments; you have to call the manager and tell them how you did so they can help you. You are also encouraged to go to these conferences and as if unpaid training was bad enough; they make you pay out of your own pocket to go. They also make you go to the office for an office meeting where sales representatives talk about how many sales they made. They also make you do a "Phone Jam" at the office which is basically one step away from cold-calling and they said no cold-calling; they are able to get away with cold-calling because these people are not complete strangers. They encourage you to call a lot of people as well. What's worse is that there are no office phones for you to use, you have to use your own cell phone. You're pretty much screwed if your phone doesn't have a plan for unlimited minutes. All that time you spend in the office: like the training is unpaid. I ended up quitting because I figured that not getting reimbursed for gas used for going to and from appointments and the office is not worth it and because I could have made more working at my old job. I would not recommend this job to anyone else. Sorry for long comment!

I had the EXACT same experience as you last summer except I went to the 1st day of training and got a phone call that I was "referred by a friend" instead of getting a letter in the mail. And when I say exact, I mean all the way down to when you got to the interview and there was like only one chair left to sit on in the room full of people! I'm so upset I wasted my time even attempting to give it a shot after the red flags. The training was just even worse. Sitting there for hours, hearing the same things from the presentation at the "interview," practicing the sales pitch, on top of not being fed or paid. Plus they make you give them even more numbers of people who can be called or used as "referrals" (about 200) in your training booklet for a "contest." I was fed up from the get-go, I didn't even bother writing any names to give them more customers and I didn't go back to training. They're just so misleading and shady about the whole process. It's not necessarily a scam, but it's definitely for everyone and does not seem worth it if you're not interested in the marketing business as a future profession.

I got the same treatment in N Dartmouth, MA, but they watched everything we did, like a cult...creepy, and disrespectful of our time and need to know what was going on....they even called me the next day when I didn't show....

I spent six hours today for one of training for Vector.Marketing and wanted to do my research about the company. So very happy for your input, it is a very short term way to make money if you have a negative attitude going into any sales job. Some people are just not suited to be in the world of sales. Pro and Cons of doing what the manager sent home as my homework tonight are as follows: make a list of 150 people I personally know that money is expendable within their lifestyle, they are required to be over 30 years of age, homeowners, and more importantly a source of income-employment to go into debt when I pitch pricey packages at the demo's end. As a person that is exactly what Vector asks of their target sales persons to reach out and get into my home so I will be put on the spot to invest my hard earned money. I am just a bit tired of having to buy more fundraising for my overflowing cabinets and closets to contain, keep adding to my monthly debt level on my credit cards or giving access to my banking account so places that in reality a hefty portion of this price is marked up to then offer it as a 5-month, interest-free investment option...... I do not think I want to ask anyone to pay an over inflated price for what I also found being sold by individuals on eBay at 1/3 of my offering in their kitchen.

Thanks for this video! I got a call a couple hours ago from a lady at Vector Marketing and I got the EXACT spill you just mentioned. She pretended to be interested in my schooling, asking me what I wanted to do afterwards, etc. She even pretended that someone JUST cancelled and asked me to interview in like four hours. My guess is that they don't want you researching their scam.

Thank you so much for this video. I just got an interview over the phone for tomorrow, and this made it so much more clear. Nevermind working there.

Ooh my god! thank you! I have an interview this friday. Its like god told me to go on you-tube and check the negatives of vector

I am so glad I was able to actually do my research about this job. It's so funny that while I was watching the video, it felt like you were speaking directly to me. I definitely can relate to the part about the company moving so fast because right after logging onto the website and applying for an interview, I got more than one email from the company and text messages right after. Also, I wanna say that it makes so much sense that they would target the high school graduates and college students because we are indeed very naive and vulnerable. I recently graduated high school and am so desperate for a job lol. Actually I have scheduled an appointment next Saturday with Vector, but after doing my research I am definitely reconsidering this job. I was on the phone debating with my uncle and I was getting so angry because he was the judging the company and had no background on what they do and he automatically knew it was a scam because I myself couldn't even answer all his questions about the job. But to sum everything up, I just want to say thank you so much for posting your opinion on this company. I know now not to be so naive when it comes to job searching! God Bless!

Awesome!! Thank You so much for sharing your video.. I went their saturday which i thought was a interview but it was only a screening then she had me come back on monday 6/13 and their were only 4 of us but it was the same exact story as you described.. now they want me to come into training thurs, fri, sat for training and i stressed half a day away wondering cuz im suppose to work those days and i was really considering quitting my job for this Vector company but watching a few videos including yours I think im gonna skip and quit this vector company.. even tho she never mentioned to us yet about the contract and down payment for the knives.. im also a florida resident. but appreciate your video

The whole time I was there, I loved it. I promise you will see how valuable , informative and priceless the information you will learn. I worked at over 30 companies and this company is the best strategic experience I have ever received. Not to mention the perks. They have scholarships, and built resumes you can take with you your whole life. Also the way you get promoted and the ranks and price of pay ranges between how much you sell. 80 percent of people say it's a scam. Hell no it isn't. Take a look at the people who slander the company. They are very negative people with zero drive. I know millionaires that focus on the exact same structure with proof to show. Once you find your gift of gab. How to lock down the sales. I personally promise you will be thrilled. Buy the kit if they still dont offer it free. The quality is really worth it. I'm a chef for over 20 years in the kitchen. And these knives will definitely take on 2000k wustoff and henckels. I promise. Stick with the money makers and people who know how to get it the door and learn the talk. Then you will walk the walk. I'm from the streets and grew up around rich people fortunately and have the best of both worlds. Meaning I been around to see alot of businesses from good and bad. This company is amazing. The training you will get is priceless. People pay thousands of dollars and take seminars to learn what they hand to you at Vector Marketing. Stick with the people who dress nice and are positive. I promise on my life this is legit. They want you to practice with family because you will be relaxed to start learning. Also referrals are how million dollar companies are worked. Also. Trick is you can sell at any price you want. The lower you sell in price. The less commission you will make. So you can sell you family the best knives at the best price. Even cheaper than what they advertise. But once you learn the rates and commissions and sell. You will receive a check for the same amount as promised the next week. No bs. The customer has to make that first payment though. That's it. I went to the mens warehouse today and I bought 1600$ for 2 suits and paid 629 with tax after the 60% off on one suit and 249$ for a 750 suit that they marked down. I'm seriously going back. Also to verify I can email or text you the receipt with today's date. Be serious and put your all into it. You will get what you put into it. Hope this helps. Beware of the haters and negative people. That's cancer you dont need. Stick with the top notch players serious about making money. When you look good in a suit , everyone looks at you differently and you feel amazing like your on top of the world. You will become a more attractive sexier man or woman to everyone on this planet. Love you man and go for it. Trust me brother.

Thanks for sharing. Your experience was almost identical to mine, and I’m glad my friend told me it was a scam when I contacted him when they were asking for us to find more people who might be looking for a job. Also happened in Florida here too.

Thanks for this video. What you described here is exactly what I've experienced, here in Canada. I'm 19, pretty busy at university, come from France, so I've never heard about CutCo or Vector whatsoever, and have only little experience in jobs. So at the time I speak, I did only 2 training days, but I went to far. Just wasted my time, I could have done something else like studying or working out. So I just did a little research and found your find and many others. I'm quitting (do I even started) tomorrow. Screw that day working program or whatever. Not wasting my precious time as a student.

Thank you for sharing this. I was just about to go for an interview.

the rest of these comments below sound really sketchy Honestly it sounds like people being payed to make this "company" look good

I just bought a set. Was so used to my dull knives that I wasn't being careful and sliced off the very tip of my finger on the first use. Was really happy to see how nice and easy it cut me. As far as service.... I've heard the horror stories, but have yet to need to use it. As for complaints about them as an employer, it's a low end sales job....... what did you expect? I fell for the same shit with Prime America back in the day.

Thanks you for this. I start training in 2 days and my brother also use to work with this company. He didn't like it either. But I knew something was wrong with this company at the interview. I'll give them a call and tell them I change my mind about working with them. Honestly I rather be a paper boy than a sales representative.

I sold these knives for a couple months 10 years ago. Made decent money for the amount of time I put in (appointments). It's a sales job and commission based so take that into consideration when trying for the job. With that said, I still have the knives I demo-ed and absolutely think they are the best and would recommend anyone wishing to get the knives for cheap to "take the job" and leave if you don't think it's for you 😂

It's so crazy and sad how many of us have been duped by this company. We literally have the same or very similar stories of how we got involved with Vector Marketing. I was duped six years ago right after I graduated high school. I was only 17 years old and keep in mind Vector Marketing claims that we have to be 18 or older yet many people started getting these offers Junior/Senior year in high school not even 18 years old. I did the group interview, did the one on one interviewed and was hired on the spot. The group of people I went with and a few of my friends had to pay for our 5 day training $30 per day 8am to 5pm. Then we had to pay over $200 for our test kit. It was just a waste of money and time many of us could not afford in the first place. I learned my lesson and I have been making a video discussing this mess for 6 years trying to warn others about this mess.

ok so I started the job for like a 2 weeks and only made one sell and I only got 27.00 out of paycheck now how do I suppose to live and get back and forward to school n then try to be at the meeting that they are not paying for us to put gas in the car in on e now how suppose to get to where I want to go. I think I should quit what you guys think.

Thank you so much! I'm going to college in the Fall and got the letter a few days ago.

Thank you Chelsey! My sister got a letter from them and you helped me recognize not to look into them! I love your face. No make up needed. You are so beautiful without make up! Trust. Thank you for your bravery. @Chelsey

I got the same thing for $17.00 and btw your cute

"If you don't know who the sucker is, you're the sucker." Boy do I feel goofy. I was browsing Kajiji looking for a job and found an ad by Vector. Exact same story as yours, TO THE T. They called me asap and had me in for an interview the next day. I was so exited about an opportunity for employment that all the red flags went right over my head. I actually thought I made a good impression, but instead I was preyed upon because I matched the targeted demographic. High school student with ambition and a lack of real world experience. I'm so glad I did all this research before waltzing into that training seminar. Well back to the drawing board...

I am SO grateful to have found this after applying...ugh

good video, good for you for just making it and not even caring about getting dressed up / makeup. Im 36 now but was sucked into a group cutco interview when I was about 18, I got a bad feeling and didnt go back even though He told me " You are sharp and the kind I want on my team" blah blah blah.

omg thank you so much! you saved me, im suppose to go to a seminar tomorrow and definitely not going!

I really don’t mind the company because it’s work, so what showing things to my parents I see it as practice what’s funny is that we own a restaurant so does the rest of the family from other parts, they buy or don’t buy simple as that. When my cousin and I discussed about this we came to the same conclusion, it’s just work you take it or you don’t, they are very open ended from real research and not based on opinion. Getting my training soon, so let’s see what going on.

So true even in Canada!

wow I applied for the job online two days ago and got hired yesterday but it just seemed too easy... I'm so glad I found this.

Thank you so much you just saved me big time!

Just cancelled my interview :) thank you for saving me son much time

oh my God I did that rope and leather cutting thing today too. and oh my life!! my training days are the exact same too

I owe you one, I applied just now, I regarding it now, looking at the comments on from where I live said the same thing, when they call I'll say I'm not interested. Thank you so much for this useful information. Thank you.

total scam. they got my son too... total scam. son came home asking for numbers of all my friends... i told him to pound sand... no! not happening.

Thank you so very much for your comment. Our son received correspondence from this company and I immediately checked the BBB and my mouth fell open with the number of complaints they have received. I would hope more parents are checking into companies that I "contacting" their children with these "great job opportunities". Again thank you for sharing your experience.

My friend referred me and another friend of mine was making a lot of money so I thought it was a good idea. I had an interview about 4 weeks ago, went through with my training and had one demo. That was when I realized I was going to quit, I never came in again. During my training everyone was constantly reminded of the 3 people who made so much money but compared to the amount of people that work there..... I also got a letter in the mail today saying how I was reminded constantly to return my kit but I was not contacted once. My manager did come into my other job several times but did not acknowledge me .... I was just too nervous and embarrassed to return the kit but I'm definitely going to now because there's no way I'm going to pay for it or be harassed.

Thank you for sharing your exp, i got a call from them this morning and told me to interview in the afternoon. Fortunately i saw your video before going.

This is so accurate. The exact same thing they asked me. Not going to the interview anymore. Rd thanks for saving my time

I had a similar experience with Cutco as well. I found their ad online, but they didn't say who or what they were. Didn't know I was going to be selling cutlery. I got past the training days which were about 8 hours each day. The worst part was when they had us cold calling. They wanted us to cold call our friends and family in the local area. I had just moved to Minnesota so I didn't ANYONE. The manager said to just make some calls. So I had to call friends in different states who I already know wouldn't be interested in overpriced knives. They even had us come in early Saturday morning around 7am to cold call. I was in shock. I would not want to be woken up on a Saturday morning to hear my friend talk about knives. A couple of my friends stopped talking on the phone with me after that afraid I was going to spew out another sales script. Anyway, the manager harassed me every morning around 7am asking how much I sold. Like every day. I came in to tell her to her face that I was quitting. She started raising her voice at me and bad mouthed me about it affecting my future as a elementary school teacher. (at the time, I was in college for that) I just dropped the bag of knives and walked out.

I swear I had the same experience! When I first got there it looked like the business was closed. Then I went inside the business and YES it did look a little run-down, but I ignored that at first. I was under the impression that I was going to get $12.50 an hour. Honestly, I'm not even sure if I even did this application online. The hiring manager was nice, but she did talk a bit fast and i could barely keep up. At this point I feel used and naive. Like you said Chelsey she demonstrated the penny cutting, which I can say was impressive.The receptionist told us there was no talking at one point. I'm so glad I decided to SEE some reviews about it online b/c it sounded too good to be true! AND IT IS.

I was the last one who left the interview, I'm not going to training this is ridiculous. Why would you target high schools students that's just low.

Thanks, for the warning. I was just called in for a interview on tomorrow, but I did some research. And plus the representative on the phone could barely tell me what the job was about. I really do appreciate hearing your experience with Vector, big help. What do you do now since that did not work out? I'm graduating high school this year and still need a job.

so true. I just started there and it's exactly the same way for you as me. the interviewing and all. I got there at 4 left at 8:45

I work with vector. I went through same thing you did the job seems really sketchy at first but the product is good. If you're selling a product that's easy to sell it obviously doesn't take much skill. Hence why they give college students the opportunity to learn a little about business. The problems you had like with the receptionist and with the rushed feeling just depends on your office. The hardest thing for the company is relating to the people you want to hire. It's all about people skills and I'm sorry they didn't help you feel comfortable enough, but they're also human and aren't perfect. Starting is scary and sales move slow but once you give it your best effort it's very rewarding. The product is good and people will love it no doubt so enjoy the opportunity to grow and make relationships wih people you know. And the base pay thing is nothing. I got base pay my first 3 demos then I sold within the next 10 demos and made a little more than my base pay then once I got comfortable after about 5 more I started selling about 600 each presentation. If you put in a little actual work you go a long way. I'm just sorry you didn't have a good enough experience to keep on going, but maybe someone who reads this will be confident enough to stay with vector.

They don’t display an hour. They display appt. honestly depends how much time you wanna put in to it. They give you 20 bucks per appt and getting appointments and references is not hard unless you don’t know much people. Now the appt pay does suck but the appt. only take like 45 minutes to complete and when your are making %25 percent commission it’s a pretty decent part time job. You also have to have good people skills. Honestly just put effort and time and they’ll pay you decent. I’m only planning to work for about 4-5 months to get work experience. (This is not a full time job remember that.) there times are also so flexible I didn’t work for like a whole week and still got a 200 dollar paycheck from about 1 full day of schedules. People who say this is a scam didn’t give it a shot 😂 or just don’t want to put time into it they prefer working a reg job. I’m not judging though all I’m tryna say is that this company is not a scam they give you what they say and if you misinterpret something well... then you get videos like this 😂

I currently work here I am so glad that I went to the interviews which I went to only 2 I got the job is awesome $21hr insensitive base pay I just got my first check $5 grand just bought me a new car

You saved me from an interview 🤣😅🤣 I loveeeee your phrasee “No Honeyyy”. 💕

I'm still going to go to the interview though I have a bad feeling about it now but my curiosity usually beats me :(

Just got my interview yesterday. Defiantly not going to an 18 hour seminar for the next 3 days

I started with Vector at the end of May as a second job. it is definitely true that almost everything is scripted, it's part of their program, and it is why they are so successful at what they do. even the reps follow scripts when it comes to calling to schedule their own appointments and even during the presentations. Cutco was formed by a family in 1949 and developed Vector to start doing all their marketing in 1981 when they couldn't keep up with the business growing. these companies have had the same basic platform for the program for 65 years... it works, and that's why it is continuously used and followed. the office I work out of is ranked 10 out of 400+ offices nationally, and although they persistently say this isn't a high-pressured job, it definitely is. the managers push you to work hard, especially mine. probably why we do so well. overall I have loved this job, it's a ton of fun, but it truly isn't for everyone. it's A LOT of work and time-consuming. right now I am struggling with few people actually answering their phones when I call. I've never had a week getting base pay, because if I did appointments that week then my commissions were always higher. it does sound like the office you applied at were a bit unorganized and scatter brained, haha. hope you found a job that's more fitting for you!

this is exactly what happened to me, except i got a letter through the mail and my 2 interviews were done one-on-one. I got interviewed twice, hired, and began training in less than 2 hours. I don't know why that didn't make me leave that office right away. An hour into the training I realized how sketchy this was and weird. I was there for 10 hours! The training was awful. No food or water or breaks! I felt so dumb afterwards, I should've just left when I saw this wasn't how normal job interviews went. They didn't even ask to see any form of identification! That on its own was a red flag for me. Also, this kid next tome was a junior in high school and he signed a contract with social(like I did) buuuut they changed his birth year so that it would say he was 18. Like isn't that illegal? I worry for that kid, but he seemed so convinced. I wish i had been more informed about the whole Vector scam and looked into it. I was just desperate for a job. I didn't go back for the second training(the next day which is today for me). It was super fishy and sketchy, don't do it or sign a contract like I did.
