Show Notes
Multi-level marketing companies, or MLMs, have grown in popularity across the UK and Ireland in recent years, particularly during the pandemic when online companies wooed people with the promise of big money and work-from-home flexibility. They’re touted as one way tickets to financial success, but in reality many recruits end up working for free.
Irish Times reporters Jessica Doyle and Adesewa Awobadejo speak to Sorcha Pollak about their investigation into MLMs in Ireland. One of the women they spoke to, Karina O'Dowd, describes the year she spent working for one of these companies.
