Pros

There are no pros to this company.

Cons

Lied about my hours. Lied about what I would be doing. There were no designated break or lunch times. Wanted us to lie to customers about what we could do with it. Also wanted us to get into peoples' houses no matter the cost despite people adamantly saying no.

Kirby Company Response

We are sorry to hear that you had an unhappy experience. Each independent distributor establishes their own pay practices and position descriptions/duties. All of these vary by location and are set by the business owner, not by The Kirby Company. We recommend you share your concerns directly with the business owner you worked with so that they can address your comments and take steps to improve in the future. Thank you.

Pros

Interesting people, thats about it

Cons

When i was hired i was told that i would be a "customer service representative" ot a door-to-door sales person. I was lied to starting the job, i was lied to about my pay, and i was lied about my work hours. They make you work almost 12hrs a day 6 days a week with a promise to pay 550 a week. What they dont tell you is you have to reach a minimum of 15 demonstrations a week if you want that pay. I worked the first week, had 2 cops called on me for solicitation. Rather not be arrested for trying to make a living. Management was a joke, make fun of you if you dont work as well as others and constantly push you into doing things that are uncomfortable.
