Vector Marketing, It's Legal But Is It Ethical? 3 Videos
A company that recruits college students nationwide to sell Cutco kitchen knife sets via in-home demonstrations has come under fire in recent years.   more...The company, Vector Marketing, has been accused of unethical and misleading business practices. The company has been sued twice in the past 15 years. The first lawsuit was filed against the company in 1990 by the Arizona Attorney General. The second lawsuit was filed against the company in 1999 by the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission. In 1994, the company was also ordered by Wisconsin and Oregon not to deceive potential workers.

The Cutco kitchen knife sets sold by the company are priced between $200-$2000. Despite the expensive price of the knife sets, consumer reviews have stated them as having problems like rusting and low-quality handles.

The students that are hired to work for Vector Marketing are hired as independent contractors. Since the students are not considered to be employees of the company, they are unable to obtain employee rights such as minimum wage. They are also not paid for training or company meetings. Independent contractors are required to make or put down a $145 deposit to make demonstrations. They also are required to pay for optional conferences. A survey conducted on 940 Wisconsin Vector Marketing recruits in 1992 found that nearly 50% either earned no pay or lost money while working for the company.

"Workers in [Wisconsin] earned less than $3.00 a day on average selling cutlery for Vector," David Tatar, a supervisor for the Wisconsin Consumer Protection Department said.

Former employees of Vector Marketing have made statements accusing their former employer of fraudulent behavior. A former manager for Vector Marketing says that he was told to use "psychological tricks, vague ads, loud music, flaunt rejection applications, and use reps posing as new applicants on recruits, who were called 'guppies,' in order to sell the job to as many people in as fast amount of time as possible."

In response to alleged deceptive practices of Vector Marketing, a group called Students Against Vector Exploitation has been created. In 2003, the group's co-founder, Lauren Katz, won a case she filed with the New York Department of Labor against Vector Marketing. In the suit, Katz argued that Vector breached the independent contractor agreement, making her an employee of the company. Katz received monetary compensation from the company for unpaid training.  less

i saw something

An example of how vinyl graphics are made

By special request from Syntse: The goa trance CD mix.

Tracklist:
01). The Acid Didj "Number 5" ((Telepathic) Played from Return to the Source: Shamanic Trance CD mix by Tsuyoshi Suzuki)
02). Universal   more...Sound "Vector Outbound" (Matsuri Productions MPCD4)
03). Kent Friedman & Hugh James Sharpe "Untitled" (CDR Demo)
04). Yves Deruyter "Back to Earth (Rave Mix)" (Bonzi STM9500901)
05). Bass Chakra "Mycetazoa (304046 Mix)" (Matsuri Productions MPCD4)

Little known facts: Universal Sound "Vector Outbound" is based heavily on the midi soundtrack found in the computer game "Decent". Decent was like doom only it used early (non textured) polygon graphics and you could control your character (spaceship) 360 degrees all over the place. It was a very hard game but once you got into it you were locked in tight. Ever since I heard this phat goa mix of the games sound track I've been trying to locate the full PC version of Decent but with no luck. I only had the share ware version which had the first ~8 levels. I then bought the Playstation version but it has a completely different sound track which sucks. If anyone knows where I can get the original full PC version of "Decent" let me know.

Now about the Kent Friedman & Hugh Sharpe track. Hugh Sharpe used to live in my friends apartment in Brooklyn and Hugh would often times write goa tracks with his friend Kent. The chances are pretty good the track you hear in this mix was made in my friends apartment. Unfortunatly I don't hear from Hugh Sharpe anymore which is a real shame because he was a pretty cool dude. He even played goa trance at a few Hullabaloo parties in Toronto. Also he played the basement room at Return to the Source at the Roseland Ballroom in ~1997 which was the best Goa party I ever attended! That weekend I bought some of the CDs you hear in this mix actually.

The last track by Bass Chakra samples Harrison Ford from the movie Bladerunner (hence the theme), unfortunatly you don't get to hear those samples in this mix.
