Vector Marketing / Cutco: A Scam?

I just read an article about Vector Marketing/Cutco. This article is a petition against Vector Marketing/Cutco. After reading my article, if you agree you may go
here, read what they have to say, and sign the petition. In case you do not know, Vector Marketing/Cutco is a cutlery company Vector Marketing/Cutco works on an order-only basis. Vector/Marketing/Cutco "hires" their staff from kids just out of high school and just out of college. Now as smart and savvy kids nowadays may think they are, they need to realize that Vector Marketing/Cutco is using them. The workers are told that they will receive (as I knew the price) ten dollars for each appointment where they schedule and show the cutlery. This sounds like easy money, but these appointments are not as easy to get as one may think. They do not just "fall out of the sky." If you happen to have a large family that helps, however I do not know if the worker is restricted as to how many in their family they can have as appointments.

Another problem is the price of Vector Marketing/Cutco cutlery. It is very expensive. Unless you are a professional chef, you probably will not need cutlery of this quality.

The worker is "invited" to get some cutlery at a reduced price. Yes it is a good price but this is one way that Vector Marketing/Cutco is making their money. The worker needs to earn money not spend it.

Of course what Vector Marketing/Cutco is probably hoping the worker will do is go door-to-door and attempt to sell their product. I am glad my daughter realized this is dangerous.

The biggest problem with Vector Marketing/Cutco is that their office closes down after the summer that they hire you. There is no way to get in touch with them. My daughter's "office" had a good-bye party. She left a bowl there and tried to get it back. Obviously this was not possible.

If the worker wants to sell after the office has closed down, they may do so but must contact the main office and submit their order. When my daughter was working she was not even told how to go about doing this.
