After recent experiences with three scummy, scammy and just plain annoying companies,, it's time to discuss how does one avoid wasting their time on endless pyramid *ahem* multi-level marketing schemes?
The first trick would be research; look them up online. Type in the company's name and MLM. See what pops up.
Some other phrases to be watchful of:
- Unlimited Earnings, Unlimited Potential, Unlimited Opportunities, Unlimited Growth.
If anywhere in their literature they state that by working for their company you can experience this unlimited potential, run for the hills. No company can offer that, there's always a limit. When they say unlimited they're lying to you. - Multi-level marketing.
This one speaks for itself. - Their literature focuses more on the benefits of working for the company than on the position they are offering. In these cases the position is secondary, "oh yeah, you'll be selling" is usually somewhere hidden under "unlimited earnings potential" or some other phrase like that.
- Work from home. This usually means they have no physical office, other than their dupes' homes. You'll be making cold calls on your dime for quite a while.
Time to research the OC job fair to find if there are any that aren't MLM's.
Best regards,
Beth
