I recieved a call saying they had a part time employment oppurtunity at a "wellneess center" and I asked how she got my number and she said that colleges and universities suggested people to them. Having filled out an application for student employment the previous week, I bought it. I used to go to a wellness center and thought it was worth looking into. I went in and saew business people standing around and I met the girl who called me and she was really nice and talked to me. So, we sat down and I was not expecting anything like what they showed me. A man started talking about this "Miracle Nutrition Supplement" called Genesis. He had several stories to back it up, sooo I bought into this. They got me excited about it and I ended up signing up for this SOS workshop costing me $195. She sat me down at the laptop with the website pulled up and I filled everything out. Not until AFTER I paid the "fee" did she give me the contract that said the "sale" was final and non-refundable. Not anywhere in the "session" did they say it was non-refundable. Only the spokesperson said that if you sign up for this workshop and don't have a good-time that he would refund your money personally. Not feeling completely comfortable with this, I went home and told my mom. She did some research online and read reviews. She read one to me that was spelling out all of the high pressure sales tactics that they WERE using during this session (giving each "noob" a sales rep to accompany them, the sales reps agreeing and getting excited about the products and the simpleness of the business) I called her that night leaving a voicemail saying i didn't want to go to the workshop and I wanted a refund. She called me the following morning saying "What happened?? I thought we were all cool last night. I mean you had fun playing the Wii and eating pizza, right?" She tried talking me back into it and said "What are you going to do? Go get a job? Go back to Burger King?" I don't remember my response but to me, that is a warning sign that they are not a professional business. She also gave me her business card which says nothing about her connection to "Symmetry Direct", only her phone numbers, her name, slogans saying "Live well...Longer" and "contact "this number" for your free wellness consultation" I mean, is that right to be so misleading if your company isn't a scheme????? This occured at 900 47th st SW in Wyoming MI. I had to end up contacting "Rhino State University" requesting a refund becuase I was NOT attending the "motivational" workshop. I have not heard back from them yet. I don't know if they are a scheme or not, I just don't trust them...

I agree with smartyone. I currently work with the company and have had great success so far. Was I a little confused at first when I joined, yes. That happens to anyone who joins or becomes a part of new business. I realize that people may believe that it is a "scam" because there is a monetary commitment, but as stated in the presentation, you become a business partner. That means you become your own boss, make your own hours, and ultimately control your income. Hypothetically speaking, if you were to start a business, or become a franchise owner of a company such as McDonalds, you would have to invest money into it. As far as the comment concerning multi-level marketing, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki have all either commented or invested into MLM. http://www.mlm-success-angel-guide.com/what-is-mlm.html I can not vouch on how every office conducts its' presentations, but I can testify that our office does everything in its power to help those who make commitments. Will people fail, of course. This work is not for everyone. It takes someone with a good work ethic, pays attention to those who are successful, and never gives up to ultimately do well. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. I know multimillionaires, people with six figure incomes, and those who just work part-time in this company. I have never met a group of people who truly care for each other and each others' well-being. So to those of you who happen to stumble upon this opportunity, go into it with an open mind and realize that not everyone has failed at it. Have a blessed day.
