What I wish was different

Nothing

Advice

This internship is what you make of it. If you go in with a growth mindset, you will grow financially, mentally, and business wise.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been able to connect more with my coworkers since everything was online.

I would say that people should give the job a chance. The stuff you find online seems sketchy, but it is a legitimate workplace with great opportunities.

January 2020 • St. George, UT

What I liked

I love the people I work with. They care about me and my goals and what I want in life. I love the experience I gain. I have developed so many soft skills, such as confidence in myself, time management, leadership skills, and communication skills. The schedules are flexible and I can work as much or as little as I want. The pay is very rewarding as well.

Sales Representative

June - August 2018 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

The staff were friendly and very understanding. I felt valued as an employee and the training made my tasks easy to understand.

What I wish was different

I had a hard time getting references from people I spoke to and I think Cutco should teach their employees different methods of doing this.

Advice

I would advise a new employee to try new things if some methods of selling aren't working for them. Not everything works for everyone.

Sales Representative

June - August 2018 • Towson, MD

What I liked

The quality of the products I sold, the security of payment and the friendly competition in the office were all wonderful. You learn a lot about the job in a little time as well.

What I wish was different

I wish that they would have equipped us to market to other people (they made us start marketing to people we knew), as it created some tension in my community.

Advice

Believe in what you sell, listen to your managers, and never take your job too seriously. Have fun with it and, as cliche as it sounds, be yourself - otherwise you’ll end up putting on a fake version of yourself whenever you market.

Direct Marketer

June - August 2018 • Miami, FL

What I liked

I was given a wide range of autonomy and respect for my boundaries and wishes, and was able to choose my own hours. The pay was pretty good as well.

What I wish was different

The company culture, despite being overwhelmingly positive and supportive, felt cult-like at times. They are using the sense of purpose, positivity, and belonging to open a market among the friends and family of their employees - mostly impressionable teenagers that react well to the sense of accomplishment and belonging that the company tries to create. I enjoyed the positive company culture, but felt that there was something exploitative at its core.

Advice

It's a good summer job, and you will absolutely make plenty of money if you have a good work ethic and an ounce of charisma. Even if you want to take it easy and treat it like a part-time job, it is flexible and pays better than most short-term summer jobs. That being said, you will likely be pushed to aggressively market toward friends and family, which can sometimes cross boundaries into rudeness or nuisance. Be careful, think of your friends and acquaintances before your paycheck, and be sure to treat your potential customers with the utmost respect. Never be ashamed of it, make sure to follow through with the job and be confident, but be careful not to become aggressive or pushy.
