   I am a 24 year old, I saw the ad in the paper so I went & got hired. I have 
been here for a week. I don't see anything ethicly wrong with it. Yes it is 
very hard work & yes you will be broke at first unless you can make alot of 
sells. Yes alot of people will leave, yes they make it sound fluffy, when it 
is not at first. All advertisements do that though, make it seem better than 
it is. How many suv's(Sports Utility vehicals)  do you see in swimming in the 
water, none. But they have comercials that show suvs swimming in the water or 
dishwashing liquid that instantly breaks up grease on contact. That is How 
companies advertise. 

      In the Article you said they are vague & or might lie about the job 
descrition, yes they were vague, but when I asked Will we be going biz to biz 
selling?, and do we get paid other than commision?, they answered yes to the 
peddling part & no to the getting paid ?, So they did not lie 
to me, but when your promoting a product, you use the strong points not the 
weak points, How many car advertisments Tell you that you may get killed if in 
a wreck, none! To me they are just promoting what you CAN achieve.

     Next:  When I was hired I knew it was sentura products being distributed 
by the company Elite promotions, there was no cover up at all, in fact the 
office has posters all over advertising the Perfume.

    Sentura is just the manufacturer & creator of the products. The office 
that distributes the perfume handles they're taxes. So if they are not paing 
taxes off the sales that is not sentura's fualt, that is the offices fualt & 
they sould be dealt with.

      About renditions: Alot of companies make rendition perfume, that is not 
illegal. And I personally think sentura's renditions are better than most of 
the other's out there.

     About FFAR: I agree that that makes fast sells for the company, but is 
there anything wrong with that isn't that what buisness is all about making 
money, If the people quit the job becuase they don't like hustling perfume 
around, that is not the companys fault the guy did not like the job & quit. I 
made 15 sells to my family that same night all them where happy with their 
product.

     the pyramid scheme: I was aware that that was what the 
company is all about from my first day of training(but not the interview). 
Alot of companies work that way & yes to make it in the pyramid scheme you 
have to be good at the buisness(not just average)but I see nothing wrong with 
that.

    About Soliciting: last time I checked Soliciting was not illegal. If 
stores don't want any soliciting that is their american right, Just as it is 
senturas right to go from biz to biz promoting the perfume, until it infringes 
on the right of the company that does not want soliciting in there store. I 
have been stoped by several police and security guards that told me no 
soliciting, i pack my bags & leave. But I see alot of people don't mind it 
even if they don't buy anything in fact some ask me to come back later when 
they get paid. Yes there are people that don't like it & that is their right

Bottom Line:  I do not know if this will work for me, it may not. I may not 
have the selling skills required, & yes I did not make alot of money lastweek
(first week)but i did have fun & I like atmosphere. If I decide to quit cuase 
I don't see any potentiual opertunity for me &or I am not a good salesman that 
is not their fualt. Yes this is a very hard buisness to succeed in, but I 
don't think is a Scam. I think it is capitalism at its best.

P.s. Please respond
