i have a few sorors who do this stuff. two does Creative Memories, and one does Quixtar with her husband, another greek. They got me to go to one of their "informational meetings" and it was a freaking pony show of "making all your financial dreams come true." even if it means getting others to sell off-brand detergent, cookies and tampons.

Creative Memories doesnt seem as bad, but the sorors who do sell for them have quit. One is having a baby, the other started her masters. Theyre both good at selling the products (and honestly isnt nearly as sketch as Quixtar) but do admit its a big time commitment, bigger than most average, working people can commit.

I also have a soror who sells Mary Kay. She's not sketch at all, and really doesnt buy into the rules. she doesnt do any of her presentations by the book, but promotes the products she really likes and what she thinks would work. I've bought from her no problem.

Oh, and i have two OTHER sorors who sells Avon and Silpada jewelry, respectively. Though there's a difference between multi-level marketing, pyramid schemes and direct sales. I personally think Silpada is expensive, and am also not big on jewelry. Also not a huge fan of MK makeup and damn sure dont need any Quixtar mess.
