"This summer Vector has once again provided me with an amazing experience. I have become a significantly better person, both professionally and personally, due to my work with Vector. I have developed time management, organizational, intrapersonal, and managerial skills from Vector that I could not gain in a classroom. Before my work with the company I never would have guessed that a simple summer job could put me in such good standing for the rest of my life. I am extremely grateful for the Vector opportunity and am very excited for my future summers with the company."

"It's true when the managers say Vector isn't about selling knives; it's about developing people. My mindset, actions and philosophy that I have developed has improved my life since I started, but the most important thing I learned was to not stop improving those traits."

"I have to admit, when I walked into the office the day of my interview, I was skeptical of the business and its subsequent promises. However, I quickly changed my mind when I saw what CUTCO could do, not only with food, but also for the lives of the young men and women who engaged in the program. I decided that I wanted to be a success story and dedicated all my time and energy to this goal. The result was an incredibly lucrative summer and more importantly, I discovered a new passion and found direction for my education and my future career. Vector has taught me to manage my time, emotions and money, and to overcome hardships and stress. The experience has been invaluable and I recommend this job to anyone who is looking for a path to success."

"I have grown so much as a person because of the opportunity Vector has given me. Throughout this summer I accomplished things that I had previously thought were impossible. I have learned so much about not only helping myself but also about how to help others. Vector truly brought out the potential in me and I will never forget this summer or the many people who have made it so great. This was by far the most exciting summer of my life."

"I never imagined all the success I could have with Vector and couldn't begin to describe how much real-life experience this job has provided. I'm looking forward to this next year and all the opportunities I know will come up, and am so fortunate to be able to work with such motivated and positive people. I feel Vector Marketing is just like anything in life - you get out what you put in."

"There are no words to describe my Vector experience this summer. Not only have I improved my communication skills and time management skills, but I have personally grown more than I could ever imagine. I have realized that this job is not just about selling knives; instead it is the vehicle that enables us to make a difference in others' lives. I may accomplish many goals, but helping others to realize their potential, is exponentially greater than any goal I have reached. This summer is only the beginning; it has opened the doors for my future."

"My job makes me a better person. It forces me to manage my time better, manage my emotions better, to think more critically about what I want in life and why. It's simply amazing that I get paid for this job. I can only compare the Vector experience to being a part of a championship sports team, orchestra, debate club-any championship organization that forces you to become a better person, but few of them pay you along the way."

"My Vector experience was truly the most rewarding experience of my life. I learned that I could do anything I set my mind to. Vector taught me to strive for success and never give up until I have reached my goals. Vector taught me amazing business skills that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I am truly honored and privileged to work with such a remarkable company!"
