So is Work at Home United a Scam?
Well, Work at Home United isn’t really a scam, since they don’t take any money from you. However, all they really are is an affiliate for Melaleuca, Inc, a company that specializes in selling environmentally friendly products.
I assume that Work at Home United never says on their website that they are promoting Melaleuca, Inc. because then you would simply search Melaleuca in Google, and undoubtedly come up with all sorts of terrible results. This is not because Melaleuca is a bad company, it is simply because any MLM company tends to get tons of bad reviews just for being an MLM.
To be fair, Melaleuca is not a standard MLM company as they don’t “pay” you for recruiting people to sales, instead they give you bonuses and incentives.
The problem with Work at Home United being a front for Melaleuca, Inc, is that to make money with Melaleuca you have to be able to sell their products. While Melaleuca, Inc. is dedicated to environmentally friendly products, their products tend to be expensive, which used to be excusable in the 1980s when finding eco-friendly products was really difficult.
But now, you can just go to the nearest WalMart or Target and pick up Seventh Generation dish soap, Method hand wash, and a variety of other green products for almost the same prices as the regular not eco-friendly brands. This is going to make it extra difficult to convince others that they should their eco-friendly products from you.
However, if this is a business opportunity you’re still interested in, just be aware that it will take lots of time and effort on your part to make any business, including this one, successful. Don’t believe promises of easy money or you’ll be sorely disappointed.

I just wanted to clarify about the BBB(Better Business)
I am a business owner and I have an A+ rating because I do not have any complaints against me in 15 years. However I am not accredited because I do not pay $500+ to be accredited yearly. The BBB charges companies to be accredited also the BBB fees vary by number of employees etc.
1. Vague website wording that gives no real information about the program, not even basic info.
2. It clearly leaves out mentioning the name of the company that it is an affiliate for by referring to it only as "a Fortune 500 company".
3. It uses a style of "fishing" that is eerily reminiscent of MLM baiting.
4. No information can be given other that a representative calling you to discuss the opportunity with you. So, you don't have time to email more info, but you have time to call and discuss it? I hear a sales pitch coming on...
Look, I was interested in this opportunity very much until I went to the website. As the mother of an autistic toddler and being someone that desperately needs to work from home, getting involved with a company that promotes affordable, eco-friendly products is right up my alley, yet I need a real opportunity. So, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck why would I believe it's a peacock. I'm just saying...
Work at Home United is a great TEAM to be part of!
I've been using it for 9 months and love it.
Legally it is not MLM. It is Consumer Direct Marketing. The customers who want to make money do NOT sell it.
As for it being expensive, wow, you didn't do your research! Example: One of the cleaners sells for $5.69. It is highly concentrated, it is necessary to mix it with water to use it. Makes 6 spray bottles of all purpose cleaner, that makes the cost less than $1 per bottle. Good luck finding all purpose cleaner at Walmart or Target or the Dollar Store for less than $1! And it is very high quality!
Again I say I dare you to try it. Then you can give a REAL review!
Erin - Have you looked at the ingredients in those cleaners?? They are so cheap because of the low quality ingredients and preservatives.
Request from someone to watch the presentation then see the difference it could make in your life!
