I'm not asking because I don't know. I just want opinions here.

Are the employees commission only? If so, the founder.

The turnover is super high, so if Salary or Hourly, the founder could get his ass handed to him quickly because of shitty employees.

And you will get shitty employees, because those are the only ones dumb enough to work in that industry.

lolololol

I wonder if anyone here has ever tried it or experienced it?

You can come out. I won't call you a dumbass.

No but we all know idiots who have and didn't make any money while annoying the shit out of everyone around them in the process.

Sat in an interview right out of college and realized about halfway through that it was a joke, and never followed up.

I went to an interview for a "warehouse job" at one of those caves under I-435. It turned out to be selling knives.

Remember it's not the filters where you make the money, it's the licenses

Have you ever bought a product from a multi level marketing company?

when I was like 18 (many moons ago) I was already working full time at a Sears selling craftsman tools and lawn mowers. I made a sale on a pretty expensive lawnmower and the customer was "impressed" by my sales "skills" and proceeded to tell me I could be making tons more. A natural salesman, I was intrigued. He didn't tell me much more but said , "hey there is a meeting in the city like 2 weeks from now, wanna go?" He said it was free dinner and he would drive so I figured nothing to lose.....I asked tons of questions but he kept everything REALLY vague and said it would be answered at the meeting....

SO I go to this meeting, everyone is all in suits and looking sharp....big slick presentation about MLM and how much money you could make and only at the very end did they "reveal" that it was Amway.

I was so pissed off I didn't know what to do...I didn't say much on the ride home....

Then like the next day there was this box of crap on my porch.......amway products and catalogs with a note that I owed him 200$...

I left it on my porch, called the dude and told him to come pick up the shit or i was going to throw it away.

The end.

Yeah. That dude made it big. One of the original moderators at the Planet. He's very, very successful at MLM's.

My wife is fairly high up in Scentsy. There's no way I can quit working anytime soon but she does pretty well pushing stupid stinky wax and purses to housewives.

Yes. Once.

And this sounds like a nightmare.

I tried one when I was 18 and trusted people. It left me very cynical about salespeople in particular.

To this day I've never bought anything from a salesman that was their idea. I hear a sales pitch and I just tune out.

He ****ed a whole lot of people to get there, guaranteed.

I'm no fan of MLM's nor an apologist but isn't that what we all do trying to make a buck? What's the difference between entering into a relationship with a car dealership or a cell phone company and doing business with an MLM?
