Vector Marketing is considered the sales arm of Alcas Corporation. They have been reported to the Attorney Generals office which is presently reviewing complaints. The entity Vector Marketing has received over 100 employee complaints (exact number not given). It appears they like to target students in particular for jobs.
Vector Marketing is a company that targets students nationwide to sell Cutco kitchen knives with in-home demonstrations. They are encouraged to sell to their family and friends to start out with and are pretty successful in the beginning, since it's easy to sell to people that care about you and feel obligated to help out. But after that they must rely on referrals, which can be difficult since not too many people want to let stangers into their house to get a sales pitch on knife sets that typically cost several hundred dollars.

Vector Marketing has been doing this for years deceiving tens of thousands of young students and a group called Students Against Vector Exploitation (SAVE) is getting together because they are not going to take it anymore.
