: All of this is blowing my mind. My husband is involved with this company and I have mixed feelings because I don't know WHAT to believe. I actually found the ad in Nov. of last year and had to make a choice between Scentura Creations and another job but I did not know what the company was about because I had gone to 2 interviews and I have alot of job and interview experience and asked many ?s that I felt the person holding the interview was avoiding. I figured it was probably sales (which I'm not into) but I had been out of work for 2 months at the time (with 800.00 rent to pay) so I didn't give a damn I needed a job. In the end I decided to go with the other job (not anything against the sales job because I still didn't know what it was ALL about) Thank God I went with the other job though because my husband and I got pregnant and he got laid off, so my job allows me to take care of all the bills and I have outstanding benefits that I don't pay a dime out of my check for. While he was looking for a job in the paper, of course he comes across the ad for this company and decided to check it out. Then the drama began becuase being pregnant with mad bills piling up, 800.00 rent and some more and paying all this ALONE because he makes no money, it's harder than hard. Fortunatly for my husband, he has a wife that took her vows very seriously (for better or WORSE) because my family has money and are living well in California (mommy helps us financially if I call and ask)and I don't have to struggle like this. I do it because my husband believes in this and I want to have his back, and hopefully all will be well. Blind faith they call it. In one light it seems like people really are making money in this and he believes in busting his butt so he would do well, but then again, it seems like a never ending struggle. He's about to "open" an office with a partner because he's been there for 8 wks busting his ass, barely spending time with me and he's met the requirements, they think he has what it takes. I know he does, I trust that he can do it, I just don't know if we should believe in this company. I told him that when he runs his own office, he should take a different approach than what his trainers did, he shouldn't lie in his ad because if the people know what it's about from the door and they stay, you know you can depend on them, but if it's a bunch of lies and they find out, you got all those people walking out on your lying ass. The ad he responded to was a total, big fat lie, and that's wack. They have ladies come in dressed all nice thinking they are interviewing for a recept. pos. and there is no recept. pos. I don't want my husband to play with people's lives. At this point, it's more about seeing what happens with all this time we have put into it, will it be in vain. But our child is not going to wait to be born, she's coming, money or no money. It seems like they have a big cult following or something, like people are brainwashed, I mean, my husband isn't some punk who was unpopular in school and needs something to be apart of, but when he comes home, talking like these people, using their lingo and shit, it really makes my blood boil. And what's up with this "weak piece of shit" deal? I mean, if the sales biz is not for you, it's just not, but why do they treat you like shit if you decide it's not for you? It's not for everyone right? And what's the deal with all the yelling and cursing. Being able to kick back and be yourself at work is one thing, but I know I would be totally turned off if I went to an interview and people were yelling "motherfuck you bitch". I was negative with it because he was bringing NOTHING home, no dollars, and that doesn't go well when there are bills, and there is a baby coming. He decided to take me to the meetings to get a better understanding, and you know, it did change my mind a little to make me a little more supportive but I'm not gullable and I trust NO ONE. But then, some people act like they're mad because he has me there in his corner.(We can't win either way). Are THEY paying all our bills while he gets through training? Are they going through what I'm going through, pregnant working 12 hours a day to support us and prepare for a baby that's coming hell or high water? Hells no, they're not! Maybe that's a separate issue of hating that I need to confront a couple of bitches with. I don't know what to do but just wait. He has a date to open and if they bullshit him, he's out of there, but then, we're still hurt because of the time wasted.
: If anyone has any suggestions (from experience) please let me know.
I read what you wrote about your husband working for this place....my husband works for them too! he has been working for them for 4 weeks. how long did it take him to open his office and if he did open it, do you make any money yet? i myself believed that it was a big scam and still have my doubts. my husband keeps telling me that things are going to be better... he is a great salesman and has some sales experiance. and i do hope he succeeds...but on the other hand me and my kids are suffering for it....please respond
