AVON Employer Reviews

Avon is a great place to work. I've excelled in all of my positions with the company

Very easy process, quick to learn.
Getting customers to try new things with samples.
Hosting book events to grow your bussiness.
The hardest part is making sure you have reliable customers that have the money to pay when the order comes in.

i didnt work here long because it was through a temp agency but the short time i was here was nice.

Learn how to be your own boss and meet new people everyday! Public speaking skills are enhanced incredibly!

the worst part was not getting paid. also going out late at night to collect money for the orders.

Management is not concerned with employees being overworked. The teams are severely understaffed and business continues on as usual. There's no accountability for anyone's work or lack of doing work. No one can make a decision and stick to it - causing rounds and rounds of rework. The overall environment is very political. It's not what you know or – more...  how much you work. It all comes down to who you know. They can't keep the talented employees at the company for very long. – less

I enjoy doing Avon as I like Avon products and use them a lot. I can endorse the products. Delivering products and brochures requires some planning and travelling. You get paid by commission which is difficult at first but does get easier after a while.

Marketing yourself,
Being your own boss,
Going out everyday and just talking with people

A day in the job would be walking into the doors going over any updated information and then from there taking calls the rest of the day. You talk to all kinds of people some happy and most upset about something. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the stress of upset people all day as well as worrying if your job will be there the following – more...  week. The most enjoyable part of the job is the people that you work with. They are there to help your mood stay up and not dragged down. The other enjoyable thing is when you get off the call with a representative and the issue was resolved that they called in for. – less

Typical large company with good and bad features. Management lacks open communication with employees. Nice co workers.

I place orders for customers and deliver products. I enjoy getting out and meeting people.. I add new customers weekly and my business is growing. My manager is very supportive and is always willing to help me with questions i may have . I've learned a lot about time management and organizing my time to make it more productive.

Avon is a company that allows reps to work and excel at there own pace.

Products are not harmfull and are not tested on animals, world class electronic systems and good support management

I loved that you could manage your own buissness and time and money, but one thing i did not agree with was that once you started you were automatically on your own with little to no help on how to get things started.

Avon allows for all individuals to create their own business. It gives everyone who takes on Avon the chance to generate experience for themselves in the sales environment.

Athough my 5 years at Avon were filled with learning experiences, I cannot say I would recommend this position to anyone. If you want to succed and make your goals, one must be ready to work 15 hour days including the entire weekend. If one does not do so, they will fail. My typical day started at 5:30 am reading and answering about 70-100 emails per – more...  day. Then there were the voice mails from my Divisional and reps and the assignments that were due from upper management. The direct management rating is a toss up; one can get a great boss and one can get a most challenging one; I had both. The hardest part of the job was making the goals in 2 weeks; they are unattainable and too elevated to be reached. The most enjoyable part was meeting SO many wonderful people. Some of them I admired for their tenacity and work ethic, some of them for their love for life and some for just being incredibly good people. – less
