Anyone had a good/bad experience with Amway?

[larrysarmy]

Or the internet version Quikstar?

 

[Stewo]

It's lame. Stay away. Very cult-like, the people.

 

[cmoneyr]

If you like pyramids and you like schemes they are the perfect marriage of the two!

 

[Chipper]

How do you feel about owning your own business?

 

[egami]

Besides the fact that they are most often times are disingenuous about things up front and trying to trick people into coming to business meetings for the first time and being moderately annoying in their pursuit of world conquest? Yes.

 

[larrysarmy]

Isn't working for a large corporation similar to a pyramid?

 

[dmclone]

Well when you google "quickstar" the first site that comes up is Quickstar scam. I would guess that would be a bad sign.

It sounds like you've already made your decision, have fun selling Amway!

 

[motorCYcle]

Not my personal experience, and I don't know the person who wrote this...
Just something I found-

NO, because when you work for a large corporation you are guaranteed money.

The biggest problem with Amway and Quikstar is that their crap is too expensive, and that it is crap.

 

[cmoneyr]

These people are just jealous that they haven't been offered the opportunity to leave their prison-like jobs behind and become their own business owner.

You've already been talking to them...you're infected! :wink:

 

[cmoneyr]

It worries me a little that someone, after hopefully doing atleast the bare minimum of research about these "companies" would still need to ask if they are worth it.

 

[dosry5]

I'm guessing by his screen name that he already sits a top a pyramid and is fishing for new troops? Larry, do you already sell Amway?

You're in Ankeny....what was the name of that big pyramid scheme there a year or two ago?

 

[Bobber]

Yes.

Had an old college friend who tried me and I said no. What really upset me was when I saw him at a bar a few years later, I introduced him to some friends of mine and he hit them up a few days later.

Nice guy, but I consider him weird now.

Here is my retort to this, by the way. It's my favorite defense.

Come get me when you are making 6 figures and I WILL sign up.

No one has bothered me to this day.

 

[larrysarmy]

Nope...not doing it, but have since seen an increase in advertising lately on a national level....the Orlando Magic arena is Amway Arena...

It seems as if its being pushed hard right now.

I have known some in college who were huge into it....and I know a few today who do and it is definately a passion for them.

Just curious is anyone is involved or has story to tell...

 

[clones_jer]

This really deserves its own thread but here goes:

Has anyone ever had a good/bad experiance with leprosy?

I'm thinking about getting it.

 

[cmoneyr]

The best part is you get to sucker your friends and family into joining you and/or buying your expensive crappy products!

 

[larrysarmy]

...also...given the economy..."The Plan" is probably luring a few more folks into those meetings.
