Again, they hurry you through the interview process, make you take notes regarding the company and training. Never do they give you any training procedures that a normal company would.
First day of orientation, they promise you will get paid for training, even though it would be minimum wage, and in cash. Not true, the only money you get is your commission from selling the 'perfume' while they sit in the office making lots of money for your efforts.
I thought it wa going to be different, although they say it is not a pyramid, it is, though they do it in such a way that legally they can't be taken down.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
1) It's a unique business with a unique opportunity, so it stands to reason that the learning process is different than most companies.
2) I highly doubt you were told that you would be "paid" minimum wage. I'm sure it was explained that there were Income Parameters that most people fit into while they're learning the business.
3) Do you really think they make "lots of money" while you're learning how to sell the product? The truth is, they make more money once you open your own office. The business is structured that way so that the owners become successful by passing on the opportunity.
4) A pyramid sustains itself by monies paid in from new "participants." Were you ever asked for any money to start? So there goes the pyramid theory. Scentura is, and has been since its inception, supported by the sale of its product.
It's a simple business:
(a) Take the product to the field, see a lot of people, pay for the merchandise after its sold.
(b) Show other people how to sell
(c) Learn the office and administration procedures
(d) Open your own office
There's no guarantee of success, because they can't guarantee that you'll do the business the right way. But it's a proven formula, it has worked for 37 years, and a lot of people over the years have walked into the interview just like you did, given it a shot, and are now successful and passing along the opportunity.
