Vector Marketing Reviews

Cons

People who say the company is a scam because you actually have to work for your money.

Cons

I worked there for a few months, they gave me a fake check. They are basically a scam.

Cons

If you want to make a lot of money you have to give up a lot of evenings and weekends

Cons

Hard work, gets you outta your comfort level

Cons

The training is a bit intense, but it is well worth the effort.

Cons

Made you guilt sell to your friends and family, Only paid for the presentations done and not anytime inbetween. Not paid for training or weekly meetings and products are so overpriced.

Cons

- very time-consuming
 - useless "team meetings"

Cons

- the employees are not necessarily lied to but there is a lot of information left out (and avoided) at the beginning and slowly reveal it over time. For example, management starts out by texting you a very vague job description, emphasizing certain perks of the job like the getting paid even if you don’t sell (which has some conditions actually). Then they make you come for an interview if you feel like you want to know anything real about the job. In the interview they tell you a bit more, but mostly still pretty vague and only highlighting the good parts. Then in training, over three days, they slowly reveal more about the job but you are pretty much already so invested that you feel like may as well just stay at this point and make some money.
-the training is unpaid, which, in any other job, is actually not allowed. Not to mention it’s a lot of your time taken up and a lot of it isn’t actually important for you to know in order to sell the product.
-all training is presented by the trainer to the students in an “asking questions with only one right answer” manner, which contributes to the making you think about the job positively.
-they make it seem like everything is your decision and is benefiting you, but really they are just putting that idea in your head from the start so you never think otherwise
- they use YOU as a way to get to your contacts (friends/family etc...) and built THEIR customer list. It works because your family and friends don’t mind doing anything to support YOU in your new job, whereas the company probably wouldn’t be able to get those same people as customers if it were strangers. I don’t like the involving of family and friends by using guilt tactics. In the script, there are lots of parts saying things such as: “it would really help me out if you did this” and “you would be helping me reach my goal if you...”
- the training is very “brainwashy” and pushy. If you pull apart the training program and pull apart the script used on customers, it is the exact same manipulation techniques used to sell the products to customers and to sell the job to the students. I did not appreciate feeling like I wasn’t on the same “team” as my manager/trainer.

A lot of people probably disagree with my opinion on this job and that’s okay, I just got the opportunity to discover enough about the company to realize all the sneaky things they are doing and this may not reflect others’ experience with the job.

If any of you have reached this point in my rant but are still not sure if you should believe me or all those really great reviews, here’s one last point:

They make it so that only people who had good things to say leave a review on glass door. How? Well, when I quit, they sent me an email with a link to a page with that said “how do you feel about your experience at Vector?” And the two options were GOOD and BAD. I clicked on “good” first, and it brought me to glass door, asking me to leave a review. Then I went back and clicked on “bad,” and it didn’t direct me here, but to a different page where I can send a message about my concerns to the management. So if that isn’t sneaky, I don’t know what is. It might seem small, and it is, but I just don’t like being manipulated and not respected in a job.

Cons

Mental ups and downs that go along with sales and no sales

Cons

Demographic is too small. Managers not fully willing to trust how well you know your specific clients. Script feels a bit pushy.
