I think that the business itself, is a pretty
successful one. The problem is more who your associated under and what the business ethics of each IBO is. Quixstar (Amway) is kinda like a wholesaler to a bunch of independant owners. Instead of the emphasis being put on retail sales, it`s put on each IBO purchasing all their goods from themselves, and recruiting others to do the same, thus increasing their own volume and profit. There are certain checks and balances to make sure that it stays legal. I was in Amway for awhile some years ago. The part I didn`t like was the training side of it. Seemed you were asked to spend alot of money on books, tapes, seminars, etc. The jist of it was, if you don`t buy into the promotional stuff your business will never grow. There`s the catch, little to none of the training material comes directly from Amway, but from your "upline" (the guys on the top of the food chain). I believe that is where alot of their profit comes in. I actually liked the products, but was continually being expected to spend a considerable amount (way, way more than my business was making) on tapes and such. It wouldn`t have taken long, and I could have been financially hurting big time.
That`s when I bailed out. So to answer your question, I liked the products, and had no bad dealings with the company itself. I just didn`t agree with the tactics of the IBO`s above me.
I would say that there`s not much money to be made in it, if you go at it as a part time deal.
At best it`s a roll of the dice if you go all out and become heavily invested in it.
One of the big problems is that there is really no set guidelines for the IBO`s to follow. Sure there`s a code of ethics and stuff but in the real world that can become pretty gray.
That`s where some of these folks can come off with some pretty lofty promises, and weird approaches.

Sorry for the long reply Brokenwrench
