Hello Mamapedia!
Has anyone had experience with this particular company, If so can you share?
if you have to pay someone for training - it's a scam. Sorry.
You want to work from home? Call your local bank, credit union, or other company that you KNOW needs a call center and find out who to talk to to go work for them. Otherwise? DO NOT give someone money to work for them.
I would take a look on Glassdoor for employee reviews. That's my go-to when job hunting.
No experience but please be cautious. Do not give them or anyone any money.
No one will pay you to stay home. I'm not suggesting you are trying to find a way to stay home babysit your children and get paid.
We who work from home have earned that position. It takes hard work and if you have children, you'll need daycare.
Best wishes to you! There are tons of options to research.

I would run - not walk - to the nearest exit and not get involved with this company in any way.
You never pay money to work at home (training fees, dues unless it's something like $25-40 and refundable, or other costs such as using your own phone for a call center), unless you are buying real inventory to re-sell and only then if you have a business buy-back guarantee (e.g., 90% buy-back within a year).
How can you work from home if you have children? You can't be on phone calls with kids around. If you are looking for something to do while the children are in school, or if you have a disability that makes getting out of the house difficult, you don't want to pay money out of pocket with no serious training or other preparation.
I have seen several responses regarding work from home; some good, some not so good. TF Plano Texas said, no experience-be cautious is absolutely right. The 'legitimate website' does not list all companies, but is a good source; my company is not there, because we don’t advertise, in that manner. Our marketing executives are paid to advertise, market and open shopping accounts and do so from home. Some companies offering work from home, may ask you to purchase a training kit or membership kit; just depends on company policy.
Your best way to research a company is to call the following consumer protection organizations:
(1) BBB (2) US Chamber of Commerce (3) FTC - Federal Trade Commission (4) Local State Attorneys Office
Any and all can give you information you need to make an informed decision.
As Diane B said, make sure guarantees are in place. Example: We are the largest on-line shopping club in North America kind of like Sam’s or Costco, except no bulk buying. Every customer is a member and those who want to earn income (about 20%) do so. There is a small membership fee of $19, which has a 120 day money back guarantee, all products have at least a 60 empty bottle guarantee, some have 90 day guarantee, meaning if you are not satisfied you get your money back, no questions asked.
No one will pay you to stay home, but will pay you to work from home and YES you can do so with your children around, because you get to schedule YOUR work time around YOUR schedule. If you have an infant, schedule work when the baby is napping or asleep. If you have school age children schedule while they are in school and after they are down for the night. If there is a supportive spouse, ask for assistance as well.
I have worked from home for 14-years and absolutely love it.
