Do not work for vector.
They are selling products to you as much as trying to get you to sell to other people.
I will tell you now, if you are offered a job that involves selling things to someone and you are not in a retail store, dont take it. Door to door salesmanship is virtually impossible, its one of the worst, most unrewarding and unfufillling jobs there is.
I interviewed. They told me I had to buy my own set of knives for advertising.
So, basically, a saleman said they would hire me as long as I bought something. And then, you have the knives, and can go sell them. You have to find your own people to go sell to. Its ridiculous, because if you arent good at selling knives or you dont have a family that takes pity on you and buys stuff, you lose money.
The catch to all this, is that they "hired you" but they actually made a sale. The person who would be your "boss" is just another salesman.

I interviewed with them this summer, and my boyfriend worked for them, so I know a bunch about them.
Pretty much, what the company does is sell Cutco knives. You're supposed to set up your own appointments (they suggest family, because they're more likely to purchase from you), get there, and do a 1 hour appointment for which you get paid about 14 dollars. Hence the 14$ an hour they advertise.
I went to the interview, and it ended up being a 1.5 hour ordeal in which they advertised their products. Not fun. They were also very pushy when it came to me making a decision about whether or not to work for them. My boyfriend actually warned me against working for them. He worked for a whole summer, and only made about $2000. And that's pretty decent.
The catch? Try looking them up on the internet. They've had class action lawsuits against them for false information given to employees. They take advantage of students. When I was in my interview, I raised my concerns about the websites I'd seen speaking against Vector. They told me exactly what the websites said they'd say... that it was only disgruntled ex-employees who hadn't done the job properly, and hence hadn't made any money.
They also make you either put down a deposit, or buy their starter kit, which costs about 130$.
My suggestion; find reliable work elsewhere. This company is one big scam.
