Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine organizational change initiatives that have led to misleading job expectations. Due to scarce resources, employees are overwhelmed with unrealistic work expectations, which have led to job dissatisfaction in the workplace. Unfortunately, employees are unable to make swift career changes which eventually lead to frustration. In so doing, with limited resources, the average individual can be a part of the Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) industry that has experienced financial growth throughout the years despite the economic recession. At the end, a determination will conclude the legitimacy of the MLM industry and how it has made an impact on those who have reached financial freedom. Also, recommendations will be made to equip those who are interested in being part of the growing MLM industry.
