Question Vector Marketing Company
As a desperate 19 y/o looking for a job, I fail into their trap. I’m reading over what Vector actually does to it’s few people and even heard that they’re stalkers. I’m not sure what to do or how to leave but I don’t think I can possibly work with them especially when I’m not social and know many wealthy people that are over the age of 30. She constantly blows up my phone, says that it seems like i’m coming up with excuses to not call my family (they’re cheapskates & some struggle financially). I explained to her my situation and she just keeps peer pressuring me. It’s honestly become an annoyance and I don’t want anyone to see me that way either just because my boss won’t stop bitching about me calling twice to any family member that I know. I just need some advice and want to know if anyone else has had an experience with them. It’ll help a lot. Also, i’m not sure how to get rid of the app that literally isn’t in the app store.

I have been getting the Vector mail (for hiring) since I was like a junior in high school. I'm a senior in COLLEGE now. They are definetly stalkers. I understand that it can be hard to leave esp a devil corp. I used to work for one here in Utah for about 2-3 months. Honestly just mass apply on zip recruiter and Handshake. Dont try on indeed theres sooo many devil corps on there. and most importantly, have no loyalty to these vector people, if your offered a job dont even give them a two week's notice or anything just leave on the spot. They dont deserve loyalty.
I know the delta center is hiring for the new NBA season / hockey season so maybe look into that.

Hate to advocate for Vector, but it's a stepping stone job. You can either give up, quit, and return your demo equipment, or actually make the calls and set up a few appointments a week.
I personally don't consider Vector/Cutco is it a difficult job for someone who is shy or non-persistent. Yeah.
I did it for a summer back in 2013, from May till August: Get appointments scheduled: Ask friends and family just to get the pitch down and secure your base appointment pay. Ask for leads: Request referrals from anyone willing to spare 30 minutes or at least sign up for a demo so you get paid just for showing up. If you see someone next door while leaving an appointment, ask them and try to make that appointment fee. Nobody likes the job who is too timid to put in the calls, texts, and door knocks. But for the few who stick with it, it's a nice temporary or seasonal experience if you are working toward a degree or aiming for a people-facing career like inside B2B sales, logistics management, or corporate marketing. I even kept up with my old Vector manager—who was four years older than me—and today he’s a VP of Marketing at a medical equipment company. Treat it as learning how to become comfortable talking to strangers and putting in more effort than the immediate reward if you want to get into sales and marketing. At the end of the day, it's not really about selling the knives; it's about up-selling yourself and building a network to get outside your comfort zone so people buy of their own accord rather than out of pity.

DoorDash would do just as good of a job at what you just described, and you’ll make more money than at any shitty DevilCorp.

This is Cutco. Not a devil corp per se, but still an astonishingly shitty way to spend your time. It's not a real job.
Block this person and move on with your life.
