              I started working for Cutco as a rep in August and it is now end of September I have not received any payment for my demos whatsoever. I should have received my payment for the two demos of the qualifying buyers and have nit received any of it. I know my account has been verified and is set up for direct deposit because Cutco/Vector has sent me the 1 cent verification. I should’ve received my $60.00 for my demos and my cutting board still has yet to be delivered as I should’ve gotten it a month ago. I am very disappointed in your company as a representative and will take legal action if this is not to be resolved. This is not a case of not getting money but treating your reps with respect and not offering illegal work promising $30.00 for each qualifying demos and not pay.

              I had vector for 24 years. I have been very satisfied with the services. Support services are very timely and the technicians have excellent people skills. My hone line has been out for over a week. Verizon stated my security system was causing it. The technician left the phone jack exposed that was the problem. Saul the vector technician informed me that vector was a wireless security system and was not causing the problem. He went the extra mile to look at the jack. There was broken wire that he repaired and my service was restored. I called Verizon while Saul was here to inform him that vector resolved Verizon’s problem. Thanks Saul for your exemplary customer services.
