Pros

-decent pay -gratis at the start of every campaign -awesome co-workers

Cons

-micro-managing from upper management -managers will promise you a lot of things, but can't deliver -no room for advancement (I was promised a full-time position for almost a year and was offered it 4 days after I gave my two-weeks notice) -company likes to tout itself as natural and eco-friendly, but pack a whole lot of chemicals in the products and are extremely wasteful. No recycling, everything has excess packaging (do you really need to wrap the box of your moisturizer in plastic?) -associates are pushed to sell Divine line of skincare (2 per day) even if it doesn't meet the customer's budget or skincare needs -associates are expected to do same amount of paperwork as manager, without the hours or the pay -computers and software are a joke. IT Department is extremely unhelpful
