As a new college grad, I was blinded by the idea of making money fast.' The interview process was so fast, and the recruiter didnвЂ™t even really say much about the company, just about how much everyone could make. 'One of the first jobs I took out of college was an MLM, and to this day I cringe thinking about it.

He had my iPad while I would constantly post my inventory everywhere.'ДЎ2. I lost time with my son while I was supposed to be a full-time mom. I made $16,000 in profits for hours upon hours. IвЂ™ve helped two other consultants get out since. A few months later it changed to 75% back, so I lucked out. Thankfully, at the same time, LLR was under fire that their business was failing and consultants were losing money, so they said anyone can get out and get 100% of their money back from their inventory. I started putting in more and more time for less money. Every few weeks, I would try on a few pairs I knew would have holes and wore them until minutes later: 'Pop!' Then and only then could I take photos for corporate and be reimbursed. They never reached out to us to just have us toss a batch that were prone to holes. Then I started receiving leggings and tops from other LLR reps who went out of business and sent their inventory back, so I was getting leftovers. 'Later I found out that sponsors were paid commissions based on what their lackeys were buying rather than selling. But then I kept being told by my sponsor to buy more to sell more.' I did okay at first and hustled my butt off online. That basically paid for my initial investment. I got in when the Halloween leggings were highly sought after with very limited supply, and I bought 200 of them. She tried a couple of years down the track to recruit me again. Finally she sent me a curt 'Leave your kit at the front door' message, which I did. It took weeks for her to accept my 'I don't want to do it anymore.' She dragged it on and on and on. It took months for me to work up the courage to tell her I didn't want to do it anymore. Nothing was based in logic, and every time she called me, which was weekly, I was filled with dread. She knew I was broke, but she was adamant that if I quit my job, I'd make it big, and before I knew it I'd have a Tupperware car just like her.В She had a response for everything. She tried to convince me to quit my day job to focus on Tupperware. 'The pressure from this woman was IMMENSE. I reached out to all my friends and family and booked no parties. I did my first presentation at my house and booked no parties.

Problem was, I worked full time, and it was nearly impossible to book parties. She even gave me the starter kit without having to pay up front. So Tupperware was spun as a way to earn extra money. She was/is the regional person, whatever the title is.'

This presenter happened to be one of those top-tier ladies who ignored their family to make it big. Not long after, I went to a Tupperware party for a friend and made some positive comments about one of the products. 'When my husband died, he left me with a ton of debt. It all felt so criminal to have been a part of.'Д©. I heard a lot of horror stories the longer I worked there, specifically from people who were angrily demanding answers from directors at the annual 'seminar' held in Toronto for Canadian Mary Kay consultants. The company was marketing toward these younger girls specifically because they didnвЂ™t know the shtick. We would run campaigns inside universities and colleges because the older generations all 'knew' what was up. I started to discover that things were all a bit strange and predatory. I didnвЂ™t really know what Mary Kay was initially all I remember is seeing the old-school pink eye shadow cubes in my momвЂ™s makeup drawer. 'I know this is a different perspective, but hear me out. I was new and didnвЂ™t really think theyвЂ™d get upset over a pantsuit, all things considered. As women, we were expected to wear a skirt or dress daily. I once got sent home from the office because I had worn a pantsuit. You have to live, breathe, and shit pink. 'I worked at the head office of a large MLM, and one of the OGs, Mary Kay.
