Updated 11 August 2026. This review has been substantially rewritten and expanded. It now pulls together everything I have written about Bonvera since 2016, including several posts recovered from the Internet Archive that had gone offline, and it reflects what the company looks like today rather than what it looked like when I was in it.

The three things most worth knowing if you read an earlier version: Bonvera left the household-goods marketplace business between May 2024 and January 2025 and now presents itself as a professional services company across solar, insurance, blockchain and retail. Extroda is gone, and I have corrected an earlier error that described it as a supplement line when it was actually the training system. And Robert L. Dickie III has been CEO since May 2018, which an earlier version confused with the question of who founded the company.

This one is personal, and it is uncomfortable in a way most reviews on this site are not.

I did not research Bonvera from the outside. I joined it in 2016, during pre-launch. I bought the products, I went to the events, I sat in the meetings, and I wrote a series of enthusiastic blog posts telling people why they should get in early. Those posts are gone from the internet now. I still have them.

So this review is going to do something a little unusual. I am going to give you the honest breakdown of the company, and then I am going to quote my own 2016 self back at you and tell you what I got right, what I got wrong, and what I would say to that guy now.

If you are trying to figure out whether Bonvera is legit, what it costs, whether it is a pyramid scheme, or whether it is even the same company someone is currently pitching you, you are in the right place. If you are comparing several companies, our full list of MLM company reviews is here.

Here is what I found.

What Is Bonvera?

Bonvera launched publicly in March 2016 as a network marketing company built on an idea they trademarked as The Compensated Marketplace.

The concept was genuinely clever, and I want to give it its due before I criticize anything. Most MLMs ask you to buy something new. A supplement. A skincare line. An oil. Something you were not purchasing before, at a price you were not previously paying, from a friend who now has an agenda.

Bonvera asked you to buy sandwich bags. Toothpaste. Laundry detergent. Coffee. Things you were already buying, from brands you already knew, just through a different checkout.

The internal shorthand for this was "anyway money for anyway products," and the company trademarked the idea as The Compensated Marketplace. You spend the money anyway. You buy the products anyway. Why not buy them somewhere that pays you back?

That is a much easier conversation than "you need this $60 juice," and it removes the single most painful objection in network marketing, which is the feeling that you are selling to your friends.

How It Was Supposed to Differ From an Affiliate Program

The comparison the company drew was to Amazon Associates, and it was a fair one to draw.

If you refer a friend to Amazon and they buy a book, you get paid on the book. If that same person comes back next week and buys shampoo and toilet paper, you get nothing. The relationship ends at the transaction.

Bonvera's pitch was that you got paid on everything that person bought, for as long as they kept buying, provided you stayed active yourself. Recurring rather than one-off. That is a real structural difference, and it is the honest core of why the model appealed to me.

What Bonvera Sells Today, and When It Changed

This is the part that changes how you should read everything else on this page, so I went and dated it rather than hand-waving.

Bonvera pivoted between May 2024 and January 2025.

I checked the company's own homepage through the Internet Archive. In May 2024 it was still titled "Bonvera Marketplace" and still had shop links. By January 2025 the title had become "Bonvera, where entrepreneurs thrive and make an impact," and solar, insurance, and blockchain had appeared. There are no archived captures between those two dates, so that window is as tight as the public record allows.

What it says it is now. Bonvera's current "Who We Are" page describes it as "a professional services company" whose vision is to "empower driven professionals to excel within the fastest-growing sectors of the U.S. economy," connecting them "with top businesses in the hottest sectors" through education, community, and coaching.

The sectors listed in the navigation are Solar for residential and commercial, Blockchain, Insurance, Retail, and a Premium Partners program. Every one of those pages is a lead-capture form asking which sector you are interested in and what time is best to reach you. There is no public storefront, no published compensation plan, and no published pricing anywhere on the site.

One nuance worth stating precisely, because I have seen people get this wrong in both directions. I have heard Bonvera described as "financial products only" now. That is not quite right. Insurance is a financial product and blockchain is financial-adjacent, but solar and retail are not, and the company's own framing is professional services and career placement rather than financial services.

And the shopper side is not fully switched off. The member login at login.bonvera.com still resolves, still sits at a /store/login path, and currently displays a prompt to renew your "Bonvera Smart Shopper subscription." So existing members still have a store and a subscription to renew, even though the public site no longer markets any of it.

The practical implication is direct: if someone is pitching you Bonvera today using the "buy the products you already buy" story, they are pitching a business the company stopped advertising more than a year ago. Everything below about BV tiers, membership costs, and the marketplace is history, not a current price list. Ask for the current documents in writing.

Who Is Behind Bonvera

The lineage here matters more than any individual name, and it is the part almost every other review of this company misses entirely.

Bonvera did not appear out of nowhere in 2016. Its founding group came out of TEAM, which was a very large organization of independent business owners inside Amway, then operating as Quixtar. TEAM's stated goal was a million people, and their leader Orrin Woodward framed it in Sam Walton terms: a new and better way for consumers to buy things.

In 2007, much of TEAM left Amway. The vision of the field leadership and the vision of the company had diverged.

TEAM landed at Monavie for a couple of years, which was a strange fit for a group that wanted to build the Walmart of the internet, given Monavie sold essentially one juice. That did not last. The organization then pivoted into selling its own training materials, audios, books, and seminars, and rebranded as LIFE Leadership.

That pivot is worth sitting with. A group that set out to change how people buy everyday products ended up primarily selling motivational content to its own distributors. The margins on information products are much better than on laundry detergent. It was a smart business decision and it was also a quiet abandonment of the original promise.

Bonvera was founded by people from that world who wanted to go back and actually build the original idea.

The Field Leadership I Knew, and the CEO Who Runs It Now

These are two different sets of people, and conflating them is how most write-ups of this company go wrong.

When I was in it in 2016, the field side was led by Tim and Amy Marks. Tim sat on the executive committee, and the working understanding among associates was that Bonvera was in significant part his brainchild. Other visible leaders included Jim and Delores Martin, Chris and Danae Mattis, and Tim and Brandy Jarvinen. I have no idea whether any of them are still involved. Bonvera's current site does not name field leadership at all.

Since May 2018, the CEO has been Robert L. Dickie III, and he still holds the role. He is a genuinely credentialed operator rather than an MLM lifer, which is worth knowing either way you land on the company.

Before Bonvera he spent seven and a half years as president of Crown Financial Ministries. Prior to that he led an international retail company serving the direct sales industry. He served six years as a captain in the US Air Force, including as aide-de-camp to a four-star general. He holds an MBA from the University of Arkansas, attended the Harvard Business School Executive Program, has been a member of the Young Presidents Organization since 2008, and wrote two books, Love Your Work and The Leap.

In his own introduction interview, Dickie framed Bonvera as "the dream from back in 2004," which lines up exactly with the TEAM timeline above.

None of that tells you whether the opportunity works. It does tell you the company is not being run by someone who wandered in off a stage.

What the Name Means

Bonvera translates roughly as "good faith." Bon is the Latin root for good, as in bonus or bona fide. Fides is faith, veritas is truth, so "good truth" works as well.

The company backed the name with an Independent Community Advisory Association Board, a distributor-side body meant to keep the company honest with its field. Given that the founding group had just lived through a corporate relationship that went sour, that board was not window dressing. It was the scar tissue.

Bonvera Products: What They Actually Sold

This is where the recovered detail matters most, because the specifics have been lost from every other account of this company.

Phyzix, the First Private Label

Phyzix was Bonvera's first in-house brand, and it was not supplements in the greens-powder sense. It was protein wafers and energy drinks.

By mid-2016 the catalog had gone from under 100 products at launch to nearly 200 in under two months. The Phyzix line ran chocolate and vanilla wafers in 30-packs, and acai and tropical drinks in 24-packs. I reviewed them separately in is Phyzix Energy any good. Alongside it sat Xyience energy drinks in a long list of flavors: cran razz, mango guava, blu pom, cherry lime, frostberry blast, fruit punch, melon mayhem.

The Big-Brand Tier

The genuinely differentiated part of the catalog was the name brands. Not obscure private label. Actual SC Johnson and Procter and Gamble products. Ziploc. Crest. VOSS water. Better Made chips.

That is the thing that made the pitch work. "Switch where you buy Ziploc bags" is a fundamentally different conversation from "try this proprietary blend."

The Store Tiers

Beyond that sat two categories that are easy to confuse and worth separating.

Partner Stores had specifically arranged to send compensation back into the Bonvera marketplace. There were two at the time: AllBrandsToYou and Eskimo Kisses.

Affiliate Stores were ordinary retailers paying ordinary affiliate commissions on referred traffic. That list included Target, Best Buy, Sam's Club, Panasonic, Gander Mountain, Cafe Britt, Blair, Chocolate.org, Lego, PetSmart, the Microsoft Store, and VisionDirect.

The distinction is not academic, because it determined how much you had to spend to stay commission-eligible. I will come back to that in the comp plan section, because it is the single most important number in this review.

Extroda Was a Training System, Not a Supplement Line

I need to correct something, because an earlier version of this review described Extroda as Bonvera's supplement and wellness brand. That was wrong, and I would rather fix it in public than quietly edit it out.

Extroda was the tools and training system. Meetings, seminars, and audios, sold to associates on a subscription of roughly $50 a month. Extroda's own site described it as "a proven training system" offering "a turn-key business support system that allows you to leverage your time and resources as you build your business."

I attended those meetings and wrote them up at the time. The full breakdown, including why I was enthusiastic about Bonvera and hostile toward Extroda in the same breath, is on our what is Extroda page.

Anyone who knows the TEAM and LIFE Leadership history will recognize the shape of this immediately, because it is the same shape. A group whose previous organization pivoted into selling its own training materials launched a new company, and a training-materials subscription appeared alongside it.

Extroda is gone. As of August 2026, bonvera.com does not mention it anywhere, and extroda.com no longer runs a site. The domain now redirects straight to a GoDaddy for-sale lander, which means the company let it lapse rather than merely retiring the brand quietly. Phyzix is gone too: phyzixenergyco.com does not resolve at all.

For what it is worth, I think dropping the tools system was the right call. It was the single loudest thing I complained about while I was still paying for it.

How the Bonvera Compensation Plan Worked

Bonvera used a unilevel structure. You could enroll as many people as you wanted on your front line, with no width limit like you would find in a binary. People they enrolled sat on your second level, and so on. Commission percentages and the depth of levels you could earn on both increased as you advanced in rank.

Income was supposed to come from three places: your own purchases, retail customers shopping through your link, and volume from your team.

What It Actually Cost

These are the 2016 pre-launch numbers, which I am publishing because they have vanished from everywhere else.

Item	Cost
Shopper membership	$19.95 per year
Associate fee	$49.95
Starter pack (associate fee, materials, Phyzix samples)	$199.95
Tools subscription	around $50 per month

For context on the shopper fee, Sam's Club started at $45 a year and Costco at $55, so $19.95 was genuinely competitive as a membership price.

The 100 BV Problem

To stay eligible for commissions you needed 100 BV of monthly volume. What that cost you in real dollars depended entirely on which tier you bought from, and the spread was enormous.

Tier	What it was	Dollars per BV	Monthly spend for 100 BV
Bonvera-branded (Phyzix)	In-house products	about 1:1	about $100
Big-brand partners	P&G, SC Johnson, VOSS, Better Made	1:1 to 3:1	$200 to $300
Affiliate stores	Target, Best Buy, Sam's Club, and so on	around 10:1	around $1,000

I want to be fair to the company on the middle row, because at the time I thought it was remarkable and I still do. Getting 1:1 or 2:1 BV on actual Procter and Gamble products was unheard of in this industry. That was a real achievement.

But look at the bottom row, and then remember that the entire pitch was "just shift the spending you already do." Most of your existing spending, at a realistic household budget, lands in that bottom tier. Shifting it there does almost nothing for your qualification. The tiers quietly pushed you back toward buying the in-house products, which is exactly the dynamic the compensated marketplace was supposed to escape.

Break-Even Math

There was an Enroller First Order Bonus of up to $50 when someone you enrolled joined and made a qualifying purchase or bought a starter pack.

Doing the arithmetic honestly at the time, breaking even meant roughly four people joining in your first month and about two a month after that, sustained, until team volume carried the cost.

Two people a month, every month, forever. Write that number down and ask yourself, plainly, whether you know two new people a month who will spend $100 to $300 a month on household goods indefinitely. That question is the whole business.

The Reality Check

The commissions on individual purchases were small. Meaningful income required a large team of people consistently shopping every single month, and building that takes real skill, real time, and a tolerance for a lot of no.

As with essentially every MLM, most participants earned little or nothing. That is not a Bonvera indictment specifically. It is the model. But I wish someone had said it to me plainly in 2016 instead of letting me work it out on my own.

Is Bonvera a Pyramid Scheme or a Scam?

This is the question people actually type into Google, and it deserves a real answer instead of a dodge in either direction.

Is It a Scam?

No. A scam sets out to take your money for something of little or no value. Bonvera sold real products that people genuinely used, from brands you would recognize on a supermarket shelf.

A lot of people call anything in this industry a scam, and usually that is because they once knew someone who would not stop pitching them, or who lost money, or occasionally who got burned by an outfit that really was illegitimate. Those are real experiences and they deserve sympathy. They are not, by themselves, an analysis.

Is It a Pyramid Scheme?

Not in the legal sense, and the legal sense is the one that matters.

A pyramid scheme pays people primarily for enrolling others rather than for supplying real products or services. That structure is illegal in the US and in most comparable jurisdictions. Bonvera had actual products moving to actual consumers, and commissions were tied to product volume.

The looser complaint people mean when they say "pyramid" is that the people at the top make more than the people at the bottom. That is true, and it is also true of every company any of us have ever worked for. The CEO out-earns the sales floor. The distinguishing feature of network marketing is that you can theoretically climb without waiting for someone above you to retire.

The Half of That Answer I Left Out in 2016

Here is where I would push back on my younger self.

Everything above is accurate, and I used it as a conversation-ender. "Not a pyramid scheme, next question." That is technically correct and practically evasive.

The honest version has a second half. Bonvera was not an illegal pyramid scheme, and the path to real income still ran through recruiting rather than through retail customers. Both of those things are true simultaneously. The compensated marketplace framing changed how the conversation felt. It did not change where the money came from.

Anyone who gives you only the first half is selling. Anyone who gives you only the second half is dismissing. You deserve both.

The Good: What Bonvera Genuinely Got Right

I do not want the criticism to bury the parts that were real.

The concept was one of the smartest in the industry. Building around products people already buy solves the hardest problem in network marketing. I still think it was a better idea than most of what I have seen since.

The brand-name partnerships were a real achievement. Getting P&G and SC Johnson products onto the platform at usable BV ratios was genuinely difficult and genuinely differentiating.

The entry cost was modest. No garage full of inventory. $19.95 to shop, $49.95 to be an associate. Compared to MLMs that want four figures upfront, that is a meaningfully lower risk.

The culture was not fake. The values-driven, faith-and-family, personal-development emphasis was authentic rather than a marketing layer. There was no Lamborghini-on-stage energy. The leadership seemed to genuinely believe what they were saying, which is not nothing.

The transparency at events was unusual. At the pre-launch "Big Game" event, associates could see prospective vendors before they were signed. I have not seen another company let the field look behind the curtain like that.

The advisory board was a real structural check. Setting up a distributor-side body to hold the company accountable, after living through a relationship where that went badly, showed some self-awareness.

The Concerns: What Actually Went Wrong

Some of this I wrote in 2016 while I was still enrolled. I have marked which.

Shipping Killed the Price Advantage (2016)

Some Bonvera prices genuinely competed with Amazon. Once shipping was added, that advantage disappeared on a lot of items.

Shoppers are trained to expect free shipping over a threshold, $35 at Amazon, $49 at Walmart. Without that, the everyday-products pitch stops being a no-brainer for anyone who is not already a believer.

The Tools System Undercut the Whole Idea (2016)

This was my sharpest criticism at the time and I stand by every word of it.

The Extroda system made Bonvera look like a network marketing company at exactly the moment it was trying not to be one. The opportunity was good enough that it did not need to be overhyped by a $50 a month subscription of, in my own words then, sub-par motivational talks and very basic training.

It was called optional. It was pitched as necessary. And it forced everyone into the same mold while discouraging distributors from being creative, which for a business supposedly built on modern e-commerce was backwards.

If a company is going to sell a training system, the training has to actually be worth the money.

It Was Never Made Good Enough for Shoppers (2016)

I argued at the time that Bonvera's real opportunity was to become genuinely compelling to people who just wanted to save money, with no interest in the business at all.

There was resistance to that internally. I remember hearing "we're not a discount club" at a meeting, and thinking: why on earth not?

Roughly half a million people a month search for coupons. Fewer than fifty thousand search for anything resembling a home based business. The shopper market is an order of magnitude bigger than the opportunity market. A company that won on price would not have needed to convince anyone of anything.

That never happened, and I think it is the central reason the model did not take.

Marketing Support Was Thin (2016 and after)

For a company built on the premise that e-commerce had changed how people buy, the digital assets given to associates were limited. The default method taught was still a warm list and coffee meetings.

The Company Today Is Unrecognizable (2026)

The biggest concern is the one I could not have written in 2016. The business described throughout this review does not appear to be the business bonvera.com is presenting in 2026. Solar, insurance, blockchain, and a lead form is a fundamentally different proposition from a household-goods marketplace.

What I Wrote in 2016, and What I Would Say Now

This is the section I would have skipped if I were being comfortable instead of useful.

"If you aren't a part of Bonvera yet, you're missing out on a HUGE first-mover advantage. Bonvera is not even quite 2 months old and has already broken 1 million dollars in revenue. This is a no-brainer, and because it is such a good opportunity, I've jumped in with both feet."

What I would say now: first-mover advantage is the oldest hook in this industry and it works on exactly the kind of person I was, which is someone who has read enough business books to think he can see around a corner. A young company hitting a revenue milestone tells you people are joining. It tells you nothing about whether they are staying, and retention is the only number that matters. I did not ask for a retention figure. I did not think to.

"There is no reason not to do this."

What I would say now: there is always a reason not to do something. When I write a sentence that closes off every objection, I am not analyzing anymore. I am closing. I had stopped evaluating the company and started selling it, and I could not feel the difference at the time.

"But it's cool. We don't need those people."

What I would say now: this is the line that makes me wince. I was writing off people who raised price objections or asked whether it was a pyramid scheme. Those were the reasonable ones. The person asking whether it is a pyramid scheme is doing exactly what I now spend my time telling readers to do.

What I got right: the criticisms. Everything in the 2016 concerns section above, the shipping problem, the tools system, the failure to court actual shoppers, I wrote while enrolled, with my own money in it, when it would have been easier to stay quiet. I still think that analysis was correct, and I think the company's trajectory bore it out.

What I got wrong was not the analysis. It was that I let enthusiasm outrun it. I identified the exact problems that mattered and then told people to join anyway, because I assumed the company would fix them. Being right about the risks does not help anybody if you then wave them off.

That is the thing I actually want you to take from this page, more than anything about Bonvera specifically. It is very possible to see a problem clearly and talk yourself past it. If you are evaluating any company right now and you find yourself explaining away your own objection, stop and write the objection down instead.

Product Alternatives

If the everyday-products angle is what appealed to you, you can get the same shelf without a membership or a monthly volume requirement.

Category	What Bonvera offered	Alternative	Est. price	Where to buy
Household cleaning	Marketplace cleaners	Grove Collaborative or Seventh Generation	$3-8 per item	Amazon
Laundry	Private label and partner brands	Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day or ECOS	$10-15	Amazon
Energy drinks	Phyzix, Xyience	Celsius or Zoa	$20-30 per case	Amazon
Protein snacks	Phyzix wafers	Quest or Built Bar	$20-25 per box	Amazon
Greens supplement	Wellness line	Athletic Greens AG1 or Amazing Grass	$25-40 per month	Amazon
Daily vitamins	Wellness line	Nature Made or NOW Foods	$10-20 per month	Amazon or iHerb
Coffee	Marketplace coffee	Lifeboost or Peet's	$12-18 per bag	Amazon

The honest framing: none of these fund a compensation plan, which is precisely why they cost less. If what you wanted was good products at a fair price, buy them directly. If what you wanted was a business, the products were never the hard part.

My Verdict on Bonvera

The idea was better than most. The people were, as far as I could tell, sincere. The brand partnerships were a real accomplishment that I have not seen replicated. And the concerns I raised in 2016 while I was still a paying associate were, I think, the right ones.

But I cannot tell you to go join Bonvera in 2026, and the reason is simpler than any critique of the compensation plan. The company on bonvera.com today is not the company in this review. Solar, insurance, and blockchain is a different business with a different risk profile, and I have no inside view of it whatsoever.

If someone is pitching you Bonvera right now, ask for three things in writing before anything else: the current compensation plan, the current product or service catalog, and the most recent income disclosure statement. Any legitimate opportunity can produce all three within a day. If they cannot, you have your answer and it did not cost you anything to find out.

And here is the broader thing, which applies whether it is Bonvera or the next company that finds you.

The product is rarely the problem. The comp plan is rarely the problem. The problem is that almost every company teaches the same distribution method, which is make a list of everyone you know and start having coffee. That method has a hard ceiling of a few hundred people, and once you hit it, the business stops regardless of how good the products are. I hit that ceiling. Most people do.

The skill that actually changes the outcome is knowing how to reach people who are not already in your phone. That is marketing, and almost nobody in this industry teaches it.

If you want the approach I recommend for building any network marketing business with actual digital marketing, take a look at The Sponsoring System. It is free to get started, and it is the playbook I did not have in 2016.

Bottom line: Bonvera was a legitimate company with a genuinely smart idea and real problems that it did not solve in time. It is also, as of 2026, apparently a different company than the one described here. Verify what is actually being offered to you today before you spend a dollar, and get the marketing skills before you need them rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bonvera a pyramid scheme?

No. A pyramid scheme, by the FTC's definition, pays people primarily for recruiting rather than for selling real products or services. Bonvera sold real products that people used, and commissions were tied to product volume. That said, the honest version of this answer has two halves. It is not an illegal pyramid scheme, and it is also true that meaningful income required building a team rather than selling to customers. Both things are true at once, and anyone telling you only one half is selling you something.

What was Extroda, and was it a supplement line or a training system?

When I was in the company in 2016, Extroda was the training and tools system: audios, talks, and basic business training sold to associates on a roughly $50 a month subscription. It was pitched as optional and treated as mandatory. Some later write-ups describe Extroda as a supplement and wellness brand instead. I cannot verify the supplement version from the inside, and bonvera.com does not mention Extroda at all as of August 2026, so treat the supplement description as unconfirmed and the tools system as what I personally saw. Extroda is no longer operating: extroda.com now redirects to a GoDaddy for-sale lander.

What did it cost to join Bonvera?

In the 2016 pre-launch the shopper membership was $19.95 a year, the associate fee was $49.95, and the starter pack was $199.95. Staying commission-eligible required 100 BV a month, which meant roughly $100 a month on Bonvera-branded products, $200 to $300 on partner-brand products, or around $1,000 through the affiliate stores. The tools subscription sat on top of that. Treat all of this as history rather than a price list: the company left that business between May 2024 and January 2025 and publishes no current pricing, so ask for it in writing before you join anything.

What does Bonvera sell now?

Not what it used to. Bonvera pivoted between May 2024 and January 2025: archived captures show the homepage still titled "Bonvera Marketplace" with shop links in May 2024, and by January 2025 it had become "Bonvera, where entrepreneurs thrive and make an impact" with solar, insurance, and blockchain. The company now describes itself as a professional services company connecting professionals with businesses in fast-growing sectors: solar for residential and commercial, blockchain, insurance, retail, and a Premium Partners program. It is not accurate to call it financial products only, since solar and retail are neither. There is no public storefront, compensation plan, or pricing on the site, though the member login still resolves to a store path and prompts existing members to renew a Bonvera Smart Shopper subscription.

Who is actually behind Bonvera?

Two different sets of people, and conflating them is where most write-ups go wrong. The founding lineage runs through TEAM, the large organization inside Amway and Quixtar that left in 2007, spent a stint with Monavie, and became LIFE Leadership. When I was in the company in 2016, Tim and Amy Marks led the field team with Tim on the executive committee, alongside Jim and Delores Martin, Chris and Danae Mattis, and Tim and Brandy Jarvinen. I do not know whether any of them are still involved. The CEO since May 2018, and still in the role, is Robert L. Dickie III, previously president of Crown Financial Ministries for seven and a half years, before that a leader of an international retail company serving the direct sales industry, and a six-year US Air Force captain.

Is Bonvera worth joining in 2026?

I cannot recommend joining based on a pitch about the compensated marketplace, because the company stopped advertising that business more than a year ago. Everything you may have read about BV tiers, membership costs, and the household-goods marketplace is history rather than a current price list. If someone is presenting Bonvera to you today, ask them to show you the current compensation plan, the current product or service catalog, and the current income disclosure in writing. If those three documents are not readily available, that is your answer.
