There are many ways to sell a product. Brick-and-mortar shop, online-trading, personal selling, direct marketing, pr, surrogate brand, stealth marketing, telemarketing, roadshows, etc etc, MLM is just one of them. It is so much easier discussing their pros and cons then to argue whether or not they are legitimate or ethical. Conceptually, it sounds like a great idea to earn money.
Imagine if you have a strong downline, you are like on top of a pyramid, or at the top of the food chain, you can earn alot of money. But how long will you need to get there? And when you are there, how much have you already sacrificed? Sadly, we are often overcome by greed. We look forward to quick gain or success but overlook the amount of effort that needed to be put in. At the end of the day, when it didnt work out, we blame the company, we blame the system, we blame everyone but ourselves.
Call it scam or anything you like, but there truly isnt an absolute right or wrong with MLM. The way they make money may earn some of our approval, but it may also be detested upon by others.
Oh, if you are really skeptical about MLM, please do not follow them back to their office. Chances are, they will drag you into a long discussion on "financial freedom", "get rich and retire early", "letting money work for you rather than working for money", "you are working too hard but not enough to beat inflation" etc. Heard that a kind of talks many times. If you are not convinced, they will invite their boss to talk to you. If you are still not convinced, their boss will invite their bosses to come and talk to you. Under subtle pressure from all these bosses and pseudo second opinions, weak-minded ones may just relent and sign up and end up... (well, the conclusion is up to you to decide, you may actually get rich).

Fortunately my organisation is not this type of hard pressed company that you mentioned!
For us, if you are not ready, we ALSO do not want you. We do not pressure or talk to you 3 rounds to convince you to join because:
*Commitment is required to make any type of business successful---you will not start a business and pour all your efforts into the business when you are half hearted.
*Half hearted people who join under pressure drop out after a while because they have no clue what they are in for in the first place.
*Waste of time and efforts to train these people who are not serious in building a real business

Haha.....MLMs like to call this "Business Opportunity Meeting". Some of these MLM people read too much Robert Kiyosaki's books and believe every BS he says.

I dont think there is something wrong of doing mlm. It really can make money. Of course you must join a good company with good products. With good products, then ppl will buy the products and use the products. From there you can earn the bonus....
Good company, good products, good timing..

the thing with MLM is,
the products are all ridiculously priced.
and why can they do so?
because there is no actual comparable product.
there might be similar ones, but if they'll pass it off as something wayyy better.
yeah, so what if some country's govt uses them?
they always say oh-it's-so-good,
when they're actually just reading out from a file.
-.-
most mlm sales don't know what they are selling really, as in the true nature of the product, and they themselves are actually not THAT confident of the product they're selling.
hurhurhur.
