A large corporation didn't. A small local company did.

  And even then, a large corporation that provides steady office jobs for an area at the center of the Rust Belt? That's going to make people look fondly on you, too. I mean hell, people in West Michigan think highly of Amway of all places, because they pay well and employ a ton of people at their headquarters in the area.

    > people in West Michigan think highly of Amway of all places ...not really. A very token few people actually think highly of Amway. The majority will quietly put up with Amway, since they do give a few people a small living, but will always temper that statement with "of course Amway is a giant pyramid scheme scam and you shouldn't ever be a reseller, don't fall for the trap". They'll just coat that statement in Midwest-nice language that sounds like praise. If you don't speak the language, it's easy to miss the subtleties.

      Right, not 100% of Grand Rapids people love Amway. But if you talk to people who work for Amway (the corporate Amway, not as a reseller) or people who have family who work for Amway, you're not going to find many complaints about the corporate entity. I say this because it's in stark contrast to what you mentioned, anyone who doesn't work for Amway corporate will generally have a negative opinion about Amway.
