Product Ambassador (Current Employee), Toronto – May 9, 2013
Pros: nice managers, fun team, flexible work
I have been working with this company for about 4 months now as a food demonstrator in Toronto on weekends. I work full time during the week and LAUNCH! allows me to pick and choose which weekends I want to work, which is great so I don’t burn myself out! It is a great way to earn some extra money! I do some online training then do my food demo and – more... have lots of fun doing it. I give out free samples to customers and encourage them to buy the product. Really fun work, a great team to work with too!
Part Time Product Ambassador (Current Employee), Grocery Stores – March 11, 2013
Pros: flexible, training, food cert training, steady work
Cons: none that i can think of
I found this job online back in the fall and was looking for something that I could do without having to commit to retails hours. Launch was a perfect fit for me (and now my sister too).
Training was online and easy, hours are sat & sun 11 - 5 (at my fave grocery store) and i get to sample new fun products. i also get to pick what shifts I want to – more... work - so i don't have to work every weekend - cool!
Some companies pay a little more, but this is permanent part time hours so i still make more in the end. The managers are super friendly, the company does lots of neat things outside of grocery too and i can work at any store across canada.
If you love interacting with the public and making them happy, this is THE company to work for.
Lead Product Ambassador (Current Employee), Hamilton, ON – February 17, 2013
Pros: the best district manager; very helpful, supportive, and always in a good mood. you set your own availability, so if you want to work only on the weekend to augment your present job, it is the perfect answer.
Cons: i don't have any cons.
A typical day starts a few days earlier with clear and professional online training. Upon arrival at work (which can be at different locations from week to week) you sanitize and setup your sampling station. Customers of the location come to you to sample what ever it is that you are offering that day. You tell them something about the product (information – more... is all in your training), offer them a sample, ask for feedback, and ask for a sale of the product. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching people try something for the first time and fall in love with it. It is really satisfying when the item being sampled is on sale, and you are distributing coupons. The customers love it and treat you like you gave them a gift. It is awesome! At the end of your day you clean up and put away your equipment. At home you complete your online survey of the day, and input your timesheet. All this fun, and you get paid, too. – less
