The company would coax people into buying a $1,000 vacuum, putting them on payment plans, when these people couldn't afford it!

I worked for a weight loss company once as a "counselor" but we also had to sell vitamins and supplements and food.

Hated that part of the job. I just can't 'force' or push anything onto someone who doesn't want it. I hate it when people do it to me.

There's only a select few who actually enjoy that kind of of job. <br /><br />What a jerk of a boss. Glad you left!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.com
