Hello Again Ripoff Reporters.

Here is another story of mine after working for Cutco. This time I made the same dumb choice for working with Golden circle.. Enjoy.

A week or so after working with Cutco. Unemployed.. 600$ received gone and spent on bills , stupid things.. I am screwed with no job. Like before I look in the paper to find something i can get into.. I come across this ad that says : 475 a week salary. plus benefits and all kind of crazy things. Call today start tomorrow.

Wow. This sounds amazing. A little smarter about sales now since Cutco..

I call the number I speak with a woman that says NOTHING about the job at all. Gives me a interview without even getting any information.. Interview was about 2 hours from my call.. Shower , shave , whatever.

Get down to their office. about 30 minutes of traveling. Walk in to be greeted by a over weight guy with spiky hair telling me to sit in this room and fill out my information. I walk into this small room. Start filling out my information , Little into the paper. 2 other people join me. Oh great.. another one of these.. I finish my information , find the over weight guy. Turns out hes the manager. He speaks to me about the job.. Selling vacuums. OH GREAT! THIS AGAIN! He talks to me about Cutco. Saying I don't have to buy anything to start. They make appointments for me. Everything sounded pretty good. I'll make 200 every vacuum I sell. 475$ for doing 15 appointments a week without any sales. He then hires me right on the spot. He says he never done something like that. He just really likes me. Told me not to tell anyone.. Right.. He says to come back in 3 hours for a seminar about the job.

I come back and see on the top of the door you come in from. Engraved into the window " NOW HIRING! ". Obviously These people hire non stop. Now i am just very suspecting.. looking around every corner.. checking everything.. The office was small. The floors we're absolutely filthy for being a vacuum / carpet shampooer company.. Irony? I walk into the training room to see about 20 people sitting down in two rows. I take a seat in the first row. We wait about 15 minutes of listening to horrible music. The manager comes in like a wild animal , screaming " POSITIVE! WE ARE POSITIVE! " Like he just won the lottery. But oh he did... He won us unlucky innocent people. The seminar went just as expected. Learned about the company. Unimportant information.. Tells us we have training all weekend. 3 days. Last day will be our first appointments.

I come back that Friday. Same people as before. We learn about selling. Cleaning. All bunch of stuff about the vacuums. Stuff I already knew from being with Cutco. I had the advantage from everyone else. Everything seemed legit that day. Nice people , good learning. Day ends.

Next day , Same people but 2 new faces. Training goes well. By the end of the training. I noticed people we're getting kicked out. About 4 people have been removed. I Made a joke about how people are disappearing and the manager laughed and said stuff like.. Survival of the fittest! We learned about taking the vacuum out the box putting it back in. Stuff like that. Everything seemed okay. Eventually near the end of the training. The manager spoke about how our first 10 appointments had to be with our family.. Oh great.. Reason i joined with these people is so they can make my appointments for me.. Going to be hard to go back to the same people i tried to sell knives to. Now try and sell a vacuum.

Go home and scramble 10 appointments with family and friends. Come back the next day. Learn more about the vacuum. Cleaning. Whole 9 yards. We get our vacuums , shampooer , bottles of shampoo , cleaning pads. First day of official work. I do my appointments throughout the week. Trouble is it was impossible to call the office and tell them how I was doing.. I got a hold of them one night and said how I could not make it to the office the next 4 days. I asked if I can do the last 5 appointments I needed to fill the quota for my 475 on Family and friends? Since I could not make it to the office to get the 5 people they had for me. They said it was alright. So the next 4 days I do my appointments. The Friday I come back to the office... This is when things go nuts..

I walk into the office and go to the training room where the meeting was being held. Seen no one I knew. Everyone one was a new face.. 10 minutes in. I walk out the room. Went to this other manager , will call him d****e bag. I talk to d****e bag in the hallway about how I cant make it to the office I would just like to get my 475$ and leave. We go on and on about how I couldn't get the money cause I never told when I did my appointments.. Well what the hell? It was nearly impossible to get a hold of anyone!?!? He also stated about how I could not do 15 appointments with family.. Oh here we go..

He brings another manager into the room. Us 3 talk about how I am not getting paid. d****e bag starts getting loud with me. Threatens me to get out , threatens me hes going to beat me up in the back room.. Hold on for a second.. A manager is threatening a 18 year old employee hes going to beat my a**? First of all this guy is over 30 years old. That alone can throw his a*s in jail. Second , I would of destroyed this guy. I don't take MMA for nothing..

I calm down , think to myself. Don't fight this guy I will get thrown in Jail.. The other manager says to call the owner of the whole company.. I am like.. sure I will call him outside. Immediately once I get outside I call the cops.

Cops show up and I speak to them about how they threaten me , not going to give me my money. Everything. 4 Cops in total. Go into the office. I wait outside calling my parents. 15 Minutes later. Cops come out and say there is nothing they can do.. He says he never did any of that. WOW! Thanks A lot..

I go back in give them their Vacuum. Quit , Leave.

I Call The owner of the entire company about 7 times. left 3 messages. Never got back to me in till later that night. He speaks to me about how its impossible to do 15 Appointments in 6 days. I'm lying , There is no way I sold no vacuums..

Keep in mind my family already has one of their vacuums.. I live in a horrible neighborhood and my family is broke as all hell. Obviously this guy hasn't tried to sell a vacuum in a ghetto?

He rants about how I am not getting paid. Its not fair for him to give me 475$ to someone who is so called " lying ".

Great. I Spent a week and a half of my time to get paid 0$. Not to mention the gas I spent. Worked my a*s off for 0$.

That Is not right at all. No one could help me..

To this day , I am unemployed. Broke. Received nothing from Kirby.

I am just glad there is a website like this where I can help other people and get help.

If you're trying to get a job at Kirby , Please. Read my report. I Hope I can help anyone. Its Illegal to do what their doing.

Thank you.
Also , Read my report about Cutco.
Thank you Ripoff report.com
