Ahh Boombastic, your response is hysterical! I like how you cited the marketwire website; they do nothing but distribute press releases, they are not a ny sort of peer reviewed or respected source. It's would be like you as a Cutco employee tweeting about how great your workplace is, that's about what it equiviates too.
My roomeate went to one of those "sessions" at Ohio state and was told that he would have to pony up $100's in a deposit for a display set (they were going to give him a break since he was going to be a rep); and then asked for phone numbers and addresses.
Your list of notable people there is also hilarious. Motivational speaking is not a true reputable profession, it's just barely a step above false advertising to recruit 18 & 19 year olds who don't know any better into a scam. Have any of your super elite employees actually held real jobs, started/run their own companies? I betting no, unlkess it involves blowing sunshine up people's [censor], i.e. motivational speaking.
If Cutco is such a great place, why didn't they stick with the company? You better hurryand quit, then get into the motivational speaking business before the field is oversaturated with excutco employees.
In past, the company admitted to fraud in settlements with the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (1999), Wisconsin Consumer Protection Dept (1994), and Arizona Attorney General (1992). In 1992, 940 Wisconsin Vector Marketing recruits were surveyed and the survey found nearly half of the recruits earned no pay or lost money while working for Vector.
Recently the co-founder of SAVE (Students Against Vector Exploitation) a group formed by students to fight the Vector Marketing scam, won a case with the New York Department of Labor, proving that Vector violated the independent contractor- client relationship, making her an employee. This breach of contract required Vector to compensate for her training.
