Pros

Good opportunity to learn how to sell. If you’re good and a bit lucky you can make lots of money if you stick it out for commission to go up.

Cons

Can be pushy at times. Start off selling to family and friends at low commission

None don’t have anything good to say

Cons

They use you to make sales you have to force people to do appointment and make no Money out of it. You don’t get paid they give you little money for every sale if you make one. You can be happy if you get 60 weekly

Pros

It's an incredibly easy job to get into and it pays well.

Cons

It has many rules that don't benefit you at all such as having to buy your own set of knives with your own money, there isn't paid training, and they target high schoolers and college students that don't know any better.

Pros

$ is decent. Easy work. Just show up for money.

Cons

They say you get paid to show up but eventually they expect you to make sales and convince your friends to meet with you. And DM family members and everyone you know. If you don't know enough people, you don't work. You make your own connections.

Pros

The product works and the warranty for free repairs and replacements are always honored. Still one of the only jobs I made a months usual income in one week, took me awhile to get there though.

Cons

Very deceptive marketing towards young college students or people getting out of high school. The product works, yes. The pay can be had if you put in a lot of effort, yes. Still can feel very deceptive in the ways things are structured and pitched.

Pros

Okay let me give you the run down: The people you work with are gonna be really nice, but it’s an odd, job obsessed kind of nice. They’re going to be way over the top and loving knives (Management says people get in trouble for being negative in any way) However, the energy people have makes it a positive, fun working environment. There’s also room for advancement and improvement too, at team meetings and conferences, you will learn skills that assist you in better sales and most times they are actually very helpful. When you do make more sales, your commission goes up by about 5% once you hit a certain number. Also on Wednesdays, there are team night out events. You also get paid weekly. And the product is honestly really good and you’ll get to win free cutco sometimes too. Anyway, if you’re paying big sales constantly and you’re amazing at sales, then this is the job for you. Additionally, if you stay long enough, you’re bound to start making a really good amount of money eventually. I know some 17-19 year olds making 3k a week depending on how much they sell! And it’s honestly really good to put on your resume and there will be opportunities for you to move up the corporate ladder and run an office yourself if you put in the effort, so getting to do that as a teenager or young adult helps out so much for future jobs. Plus, by building your own schedule as a sales rep, you can manage when you work aside from team meetings, so it’s great for students.

Cons

You’re not going to get paid what you’re owed. Let me start by saying it’s not 25 an hour, because you’re not getting paid for other work hours such as making calls. You get paid the base pay if you the meetings with people for 25 dollars each exceeds your amount in sales. But the real point of this is that when you do those demos and submit them for the base pay, they don’t tell you that they’ll be calling your clients to confirm the appointment. And this makes sense, but they don’t tell you that you’re doing this, so you can’t let your clients know in advance that they’ll be calling and if your clients don’t answer the phone when management calls, you don’t get paid for that work you do. And let’s say you do the standard of 5 demos a week, you’re only getting paid about 550-600 a month, which is less than half of my rent. I’ve had part time jobs in the past doing less work making almost 1k every two weeks. Moving on, you have to make your own schedule and clients which isn’t terrible, but you’re going to start by selling to family and friends. My family doesn’t not come from money, so while lots of people in my district are selling a couple thousand dollars worth of merchandise to their friends and family, I was only able to sell products that ranged from 20-100 dollars per family member. If you come from a family who’s living paycheck to paycheck, definitely don’t put this burden on them. Some of my family cut back on groceries just to help me out with this job, and now I feel like I can’t quit because I’d be doing them a disservice. Next, when I say people are over enthusiastic about the knives, it’s because you have to be or they are less likely to promote you and you’re at risk in the job if you are negative in any way. Also, at certain points there will be big selling months where they’ll actually encourage you to work so much with only breaks to eat and sleep at night. There’s a lot more I could say, but all in all, I’d say it’s a good side hustle, but I can’t guarantee you’ll get paid what you’re owed.
