I just had my second so-called interview with this company. Funny how the man who recurited me is always behind a closed door or just sitting at the table nodding in agreement while someone else pitches the company to me.
I'm no dummy, my stepfather sold amway and i've been in marykay, so i know a mlm when i see one.
I too heard all the "amens" during the first meeting and now i'm glad i know that's all a set-up.
I made it plain and very clear that i wasn't giving anyone $199 on my credit card in a high pressure situation to sing now and sign today! The reason given for this was very stupid. They wanted their sales manager to know how many people they were going to hire that week. Ok, whatever, that was so lame. I kept refusing to sign on the dotted line and i bascially saw through all the mumbo jumbo. They do a lot of talking outside of their necks and keep harping on "helping poeple" and promising you'll make wild amounts of money for doing practically nothing but showing up at their offices to work 10 hours a week.
Whatever the pitch guy had to say i countered it with common sense. When i asked how we were paid and when we were paid he got visibly nervous and started talking some nonsense about direct deposits and being paid weekly but funny how he couldn't pen down an exact date for salary disbursal.
That was all i needed to hear. I'd heard enough. I told him there was no way i was signing that agreement to charge my credit card.
At that point the pitch guy got upset and started actually to verbally abuse me by saying "i wouldn't want to hire you anyway" and even talked bad about me to the "guys hiding in the back room" within my ear shot.
I politely smiled and told my lames "recruiter" thank you but i don't think this is for me but thank you anyway."
He never said a word, just ran off like a little puppet after the fuming pitch guy.
It was so hilarious and just proved to me my gut instincts were right. This is just another mlm with promises of the streets being paved with gold with easy money.
I am a college graduate and very intelligent. I wasn't about to fall for all that bullsh*t. You should never have to pay for a job.
