Work From Home!
Independent Representative (Current Employee), Calgary, AB – August 3, 2012
Pros: set your own hours, work from home
Cons: involves a lot of brand selling.
I have been selling Avon for the last year to suppplement my income. I really enjoy it, as I work at my own pace and you really get out of it what you put in. My DM is always available when I need her, as well as other Reps if I feel that I am having a difficult time. As a part-time career, you really get to set it aside to focus on achieving work/life – more... balance. The hardest part is constantly keeping my name out there, bringing in new clientele, because I can be very shy, however I feel the best sense of satisfaction when I am able to come through for those clients who have allergies, or experience skin sensitivity, or those who really just want my honest opinion and it turns out for the best! – less

Great Products
Avon Sales Representative (Former Employee), Markham, ON – July 17, 2012
Even though I had gone around to customers and told them about AVON's products to sell them, not only did it make me realize what I may need, but I also realized who else needs these products. With the amount of information I have with those products, I could probably sell more than I can imagine. The knowledge that you have with the products is what – more... makes sales. The hardest part of the job is to keep finding more customers to make sales. The enjoyable part is that AVON products keeps the customers satisfied. – less

Representative, PCP, and Leader (Current Employee), Windsor, ON – April 16, 2012
I work my own hours. I've learned a lot about managing my own business and preparing for taxes. I have the best District Sales Manager and Support person I could ever ask for. The hardest part of my job is to motivate my team members and get them as excited about selling and leadership as I am. I enjoy meeting new people and providing customer service.

I have been gone from Avon for years now. But back when I joined it was a great place to work. After only a year or so, with the company, they started laying off and closing locations. Everything sufered accordingly and it was a terrible place to work.

Machine Operator/Bin Filler (Current Employee), Suwanee, GA – May 14, 2013
Maintain and check product location to ensure merchandise is in bin, if not I will place an order and when order is filled, I will use forklift to pick up merchandise from the warehouse. I have learned how to be efficient in placing orders and maintain quality and stock levels. I work very close with management daily and communicate with coworkers about – more... product levels. The hardest part of my job is maintaining high quality levels and error free product. The most enjoyable part is working with others and able to see the good end results of doing my job daily. – less
