First and foremost, everyone is going to try to get you to sell Avon. They benefit from you doing so. Will they be honest about the Avon selling experience? I wouldn't count on it. The truth is... more

    4 Stars DING DONG AVON HAS UPPED THEIR GAME! Review with images 04/03/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extra money, a way to socialise and meet new people and a great way to gain business skills

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to pay for samples, brochures, demo products and other stationary

    I have just moved back home and am continuing my psychology degree with the Open University. Now I have a lot of time to spare and a friend recommended to me to start up as an Avon representative whilst at the same time looking for other work (which I did not the Jobsite website). I was a little bit apprehensive to start this because Avon selling is not an hourly wage, I have to put a lot of effort in, in order to reap the rewards. But I guess that is the same with a lot of jobs. So what does Avon sell? Avon sells a huge collection of items in a brochure. These items include: skincare, make-up ... more

    3 Stars Avon calling - but never calling back Diamond review 20/02/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn some pocket-money, meet new people, discounted cosmetics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Oh dear : quite some

    My story with Avon begins on a warm and sunny day in September 2005. To be more precise, the 22.09.2005, which must have been a Wednesday as I had my younger daughter with me and Wednesday is her "day off" from the nursery which she attends 3 times a week on a 3 hour basis. I remember that we dropped of the older one at 9.00 o'clock at her primary school and then went back home to do some work in the garden. Which ended in some rather wild games that involved a ball, a water-pistol, a set of bucket and spade and lots of rolling around in the grass. My little one loves Wednesdays as this is the ... more

    4 Stars AVON to earn more money! (geddit!!) Review with images 12/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Discounts for yourself, Good comission compard to other similar jobs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time consuming especially if its your second Income

    I was an Avon rep for about 2 years. This was in addition to my full time Job. At first I loved it, couldnt wait for the next brochure to arrive to see what discounts I could get and what new products I could try. But combining that with my full time job, trying to work around getting the order picked up from the warehouse almost twice a month became too much (I couldnt book every third or fourth tuesday off). Having said that this could be a good income for someone who could put the time and effort into it. What is Avon *************** Avon is a cosmetics and skincare company that have been ... more

    1 Star Avon Calling!- No Thank You! Diamond review Review with images 07/10/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn a bit of extra money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes over your house

    The thought of getting up someday's when my alarm goes off at 5 in the morning literally used to make me sick. I just wished that I could work from home, but had no idea how to get started and the thought of giving up a job which pays really well scared the life out of me. However, earlier last month due to personal reasons I was forced to quit my job as Duty Manager at Lidl. For the first few days all I did was relax, spending most the day on the internet and spending a few days going to visit friends, but it wasn't long before boredom set in and I was itching to do something new. I didn't ... more

    4 Stars (Fairly) Easy Money! 05/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages not a scam, making money for little effort, fun, discounted products for reps

    Disadvantages Disadvantages never enough money, trying to get orders and brochures back from people can be irritating sometimes

    There are a lot of scams going around when it comes to money making schemes but, in the middle of all that, we have the trusty name of avon. Becoming a representative with Avon may not make you a millionaire, but it gives you a little bit extra money a month for a fairly small amount of effort, and that makes it a pretty good idea in my book. INTRODUCTION TO AVON Avon is sometimes seen as having quite a stuffy old fashioned image by some - but I bet the people who think this haven't seen a brochure recently! Not only is there a huge range of make-up, including funky products and colours for ... more
