Vector Marketing Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Vector Marketing part-time for more than a year

Pros – If one stays with Vector long enough to get past selling to friends/family, they will learn invaluable sales skills/self bettering skills. Not to mention, the pay is completely in the individuals control-- and depending on the individual, SIGNIFICANTLY higher than minimum wage.

Cons – Many a time, the management of a particular Vector Marketing branch are younger ( 22-28 yrs old) and do not have great management skills yet. They will walk all over a representative if the rep is a push-over. However, a "push-over" should not be in sales to begin with. But they will be very helpful if the rep is good at sales (the managers only make money if the reps do good selling) and will give any material/advice to help him or her out.

Advice to Senior Management – Do not become a manger of a branch, unless you have personally done exceptionally ($20,000+) well selling this cutlery yourself.

I worked for vector in 1998 and it was a great starting point. They sell a great product in a low key way. Anyone can learn their system. Negative reviews about this company are usually just folks that didn't do the job and don't want to blame themselves.

Cons – As with any sales job you'll face some rejection, you will get paid what you're worth.

Former Employee – worked at Vector Marketing as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Experience is not necessary and there is no initial fee (it's not MLM). Also, the firm has strong pay incentives and sells a good product.

Cons – It can feel like MLM at times because of the structure of the business, depending on the particular management style of the local branch.

Former Employee – worked at Vector Marketing full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Excellent training and culture. Successful people who actually care about the success of those around them. Excellent incentive programs and commission.

Cons – Regional Salaried positions are under paid for the amount of work that is expected. A life outside the company is difficult, but you are surrounded by such great people that you want to make Vector your life, so it could go both ways.

Advice to Senior Management – World class training and development for anyone interested in learning how to recruit, train, develop, and grow, and manage sales people, and a sales organization.

Current Employee – been working at Vector Marketing part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – -Paid more than minimum wage, opportunities for raises and bonuses almost weekly
-The work is not hard
-Managers appreciate you
-Good, positive atmosphere

Cons – -Managers are not always cut out for the job, and so offices often get closed down without a lot of notice.
-No guaranteed work past the summer
-No guarantee of a lot of hours. Obviously the best workers get the most hours, but you definitely couldn't support a family on this income alone.

Advice to Senior Management – We are NOT "receptionists." We are RECRUITERS. I wish they would change the job title because the word "receptionist" makes it sound like we do so much less than we do, and changing the job title would help with resume building.

Former Employee – worked at Vector Marketing full-time for more than a year

Pros – Learn new things everyday, get to meet new people, go new places.

Cons – Time management, they say the schedule is flexible but start demanding more time out of you after a while. If you don't have connections or customer service, good luck selling.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop being so harsh to your employees, especially your trainees. If you say we can make our own schedules, let us make our own schedules, don't pressure us to schedule more when we don't have time.
