Line 25:
Vector recruits its salespeople as [[independent contractor]]s. The freedom that accompanies a position as an independent contractor also means that the contractor is directly responsible for creating income and opportunities, in the same way that a small business owner would be responsible for the failure or success of their business. Overtime and training pay requirements do not apply to independent contractors, nor does the company provide benefits or liability protection. Managers and senior sales reps cooperate to provide support in the form of training and encouragement, but ultimately have no control over any other representative's income or opportunities.
Vector gives students valuable real-world business experience and job opportunities that are otherwise scarce for college students. Students often times arrange to earn work-study credits while working with Vector, and the company provides 100 scholarships per year based on performance. Successful representatives can earn upwards of $50,000 a year while working less than 30 hours in a week, and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of making their own schedules. Vector has contacts with various universities in the United States and Canada, including a Campus Relations Advisory Board consisting of professors from [[Louisiana State University]], [[Boston College]], [[University of Texas]], [[Purdue University]], [[University of Calgary]], and [[Illinois State University]]. Illinois State University, for example, has a class available in which students intern at Vector and receive a grade partially based on their experiences. Purdue University has a similar class
During the summer months, when a larger number of college students are typically looking for work, a typical Vector office will run five or more group interviews per week and will launch as many as two dozen new representatives per week.
