I have tried being a Betterware distributor for a couple of weeks and it's not a good company to work for. It trades under a typically American, high pressure, model of operating. The co-ordinators are pressured into placing a high level of orders which, in turn, means that they have to pressure their distributors to get a high level. My co-ordinator has been pressuring me to deliver 300 catalogues since day 1. Like the original contributer I am only getting a very small amount of catalogues back. This seems to have annoyed her but I am not "hunting" streets so that I can make the numbers up. My orders have been sparse (around £180 in two weeks). It will be interesting to see if she suddenly mentions a minimum order total. In addition to this, I have been bitten by a dog, which is not Betterware's responsibility and left me wondering just how many times this could happen to me during a working week. Betterware is advertised as a part time job that you can fit around the rest of your life. IT'S NOTHING OF THE SORT . It is a 7 day a week job and it takes over your life. The earnings are not worth the effort that you put in. I wanted to start as a distributor and then become a co-ordinator but I could not recruit someone into this kind of working environment. The OP's experience of being told to scavenge in bins for catalogues probably says more about his co-ordinator than the job. BUT, it is not a job I will be recommending to anyone. And it's back to being a jobhunter for me
