Also, I've heard that Enterprise Rent-a-car is a cult-like company. I don't really have any details but an older friend told me. I don't know if it's a pyramid scheme or that they're just really hyped up on "what's good for the company is good for us all!"

1) Your advisor shouldn't be trying to get you guys to sell or buy stuff! I mean its one thing if Suzy says "Hey, I wish I had some Timewise cleanser - I just ran out" and the advisor says "Oh, I have some - I'll drop it off to you" -- but quite another to be soliciting from her chapter girls. UGH! My women know that I sell PartyLite, and they will tell me when they are out of candles or need a gift, but other than that - they don't hear it from me.
2) I don't know about the Pyramid scheme thing -- for PartyLite, while yes, we are pyramid in nature (so is everything - look at the school where you have a Board of Education, a principal, the teachers, the assistants, etc.) we are not a scheme. For one, you pay nothing to get started with PL - for another, people that you sponsor do not PAY you - PL does that. Also, we require no inventory, so you don't place orders until you have shows. But I digress...
3) I don't know about Enterprise Rent-A-Car - I interviewed with them after grad school, and was totally pissed off that I was told to come to work everyday in a suit -- not a dress, or matching separates - a suit, and heels -- oh, and we all wash cars during the day. I said "WHAT?" and she said "oh yes - we all wash cars in our suits during the day - customers like to see us doing that" - I was like - HELL no! I don't wash my own car -- much less in a suit and heels! I'm not saying its beneath me, but I think its stupid. I always laugh when I'm driving by, and there are all these suits and heels out washing cars!
