According to a report by the Spiegel subsidiary Bento , PM International is recruiting independent salespeople with unrealistic earnings prospects. The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce is quoted in the report as warning that networks like PM International's are based on “sect-like dependence”. In addition, a former saleswoman is quoted as saying that the company mainly earns from new sales people and less from the actual products. PM-International rejected the allegations.
