My mom sold Amway for a while – recruited by a couple I babysat for – and here are my observations: It’s a total scam. They are extremely secretive when trying to recruit new cultists reps. It’s definitely a pyramid scheme, with each person making money off the sales of those under them in the organization.
Now, where do those sales come from? Who buys their products? Their recruits, period. (I know other people have bought one or two things from them, but not regularly.) When you’re ‘recruited’ into Amway, it takes over your whole friggin’ life. You pour tons of money into it, by being a good little Stepford Wife Amway rep and buying all Amway products… from cleaning products and vitamins to make-up and tampons, for God’s sake.
