I am writing about Unique because I was an out of state person just moving to Alabama and I needed a job. I saw the ad and went in for an interview. I was immediately hired because there is a quota of people to hire per day. I was taught the same things to say and do to the people that would come into my interviews.
We had script printed out word for word, there was nothing personal or individualized about it. The manager doing the hiring gets a certain amount of money regardless if the hiree stays with the company or not. I was impressed with the product and I thought I could handle managing sales people, so I gave it a shot.
Well, I was never told about the pin program until I had already sold my initial $2000 worth of products, most of which was to my loved ones because they tell you not to sell door to door, but get referrals from people you know. I knew no one in Alabama, so I was calling home trying to sell stuff. I was ignorant and gullible.
I take responsibility for my own stupidity, but I just want to warn people to be careful. My loved ones did get their products after I had called Unique several times to find out what had happened to it. While Halonaire is a good product, the other stuff they sell can be bought at Wal-Mart cheaper (and yes, they do come with a ten-year warranty as well—I checked on it.)
The thing I did not like about Unique is that it is totally about money. I don't believe they care about you as a customer or as an employee. As far as the meetings, most of them were totally unnecessary and a waste of time, valuable time. I went to one meeting that was absolutely disgusting. Mark was given a blow up doll by some of the managers to which he pretended to be having sex with in front of all of us. The night before that there was a big party for the managers and trainees, some of whom were minors.
