I too worked for National Health Care Discount (NHCD) for about 3 months after finding them on Hotjobs.com. I'd checked them out through the BBB and found them to be very legitimate. After 2 months I'd gone through 2 different managers who seemed to quit due to mistreatment by other managers. My third manager was helpful but I knew I wouldn't be staying much longer. I'd heard that "Grant", who runs the company, didn't seem to really care about all his "little people (managers)" bickering over whatever.
By my 3rd month I'd applied to receive my $69 deposit back. After two weeks I received it and finally quit. I'd heard/read of others who did not receive their deposit back but it seemed like those people quit BEFORE they asked for their deposit back. I waited on mine, THEN quit. I even called my manager to resign.
I somewhat enjoyed working for NHCD but did not find the pay fully satisfying. I also could not bear recruiting other people by telling them about all the awesome income potential when there isn't any. I have learned of other people who worked for NHCD and spent these ridiculous amount of hours per week to make about $50 per month - roughly the same amount I was making working very little hours.in 3 months I made a mere $154.
Bottom line is: it's a lot of work, plus all the classes and meetings you have to attend and the pay sucks. When you become a recruiter, you pretty much lie to people about the job you are filling and the income potential. Plus, you'd be trying to hire "telemarketers" for a job that the FTC and Congress will almost wipe out with the new No-Call Registry that will be in place by the end of this year.
I have 2 girls and a great husband and found NHCD to be a waste of my time and my family's. I myself was not actually "ripped off" but I've spoken too/heard about/read about other people who have. Even though the company seemed legitimate, working from home for NHCD did NOT benefit me at all.
