The marketing of this company disgusts me. I've noticed some of the reps to behave like they're in some sort of cult. My opinion is that it totally creepy and I'd stay far away.

I feel the same way about all of these MLM'ish companies. I'm assuming its something of that sort. OK, sure it's nice to have a business that supports the family vs. buying from a large corporation, but I never really appreciated any of those things. I hated being invited to all the crappin candle parties and book parties and toy parties and tupperware parties and makeup parties and decoration parties and so on and so on. I could never do one of those things myself, just because I am not a salesperson. It always made me feel like the person was pimping themselves, suckering in all their friends and family, so they could make a couple of bucks and so the company could make a ton more. They count on the fact that everyone will feel 'obligated' to buy something. THEN they want you to sucker in all of YOUR friends and family and throw a party, and OOOOOH, you get a free candle!
I had a friend that was in gosh I forget the name, but it was a nasty MLM. They sold products as well, mostly to the people in the company. So basically they use you to make more money for them, and then sell you stuff you probably don't even need, for the sake of a 'good deal'. I hated what it turned her into for about a year there. They tried to suck us in, but we flat out resisted, and I'm glad we did, they lost money and faith in it afterwards. It was very cult-ish and kind of freaky the way they try to suck you in. Only the people at the top make the big $$, and they probably cackle at the thought of all the minions below them while they count their money.
I know I could get flamed for this, there are plenty of people here involved in these types of business opportunities. If it works for you, more power to you, but it's not for me.
