I got so desperate when I lived in Louisville I almost took a job with Electrolux. I was actually thankful for taking a job in market research instead. So when the Kirby people came by my house last year I just looked at them with sorrow and sad pity.
The sad thing is that when the economy is so shitty people are willing to take jobs like that is when it's the hardest to sell the overpriced shit you're supposed to sell. Those Kirbys cost thousands of dollars. Even if they are the best vacuums ever a Dyson is still just a few hundred.
A friend of mine worked for them for a few months last year... It was just horrible. Super expensive vacuums and being driven out to the middle of nowhere to do corny demos. He had guns pointed at him on a regular basis.
Growing up we inherited a Kirby Classic from my aunt. It was so powerful it sucked the tacks out of the carpet and it came with an actual paint sprayer attachment.
