Svantaggi
- Very rarely get a lunch break or even a moment to sit down and rest your aching feet. - Managers are very unreasonable with the number of customers one consultant can deal with at a time. Consultants are very overburdened and customers feel frustrated with the lack of attention and customer service, even though the consultants are working as hard as possible to satisfy them. Management wants quality of service and quantity, but do not seem to realize that as one increases, the other naturally decreases. - Pay is TERRIBLE if you do not manage to make (unreasonable) commission goals. $7.50/hour is barely above minimum wage and, frankly, it is an insulting amount to be paid given what is expected of consultants. - Training is completely inadequate. New employees often are thrown onto the floor without enough knowledge and experience. They make mistakes that end up costing the company time and money. If they were properly trained, they could be more productive. - Employees are treated as though they are disposable. Talented and valuable employees are not commended for their hard work. - There is very little education for employees regarding new styles, colors, and selling techniques.
