Reviews of Employers A-B »

disappointed!!!

Advantages: NOTHING
Disadvantages: YOU EARN NEXT TO NOTHING

So I became an Avon representative in June, and I can say that it has been an utter disappointment. Firstly you have to pay a £15 set up fee which I accepted but if I’m honest I don’t really know what I got given back for this money. Secondly I was shocked to find out that I had to pay for my brochures there around £5 for 20, which I suppose doesn’t seem to bad until you get your list of streets I was given 4 streets which mounted up to over 200 ...
...will never be doing this again, you earn next to nothing have no training or support from your area rep. I am disgusted with the way Avon runs its business, basically your earning the money for them whilst they sit and have a good laugh at you. What a joke. ...

If you are really desperate.....

Advantages: Folk in certain departments are fantastic
Disadvantages: Management are incompetent and the whole system sucks!

...have now been working for Asda for just over 6 months and I hate every single second. Like a lot of people, I had been out of work for a while (I had relocated from London) and was really excited when I got the call saying that I had been selected for an Asda Magic session. Little did I know that myself and another girl (who also still works for Asda) were the only two out of 12 folk that actually gave a toss about being there. One guy even said ...
...are too driven by profit profit profit...... Said to hubbie if I was offered a job ANYWHERE else right now, I would take it....because I really really really do NOT want to be stuck in Asda during the Xmas rush.....not with the senior staff we have at the moment ...

Argos- Folding Tidy Rail.875/2329

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: It is not easy to assemble and the instructions are inadaquate

...self assembly item supplied by Argos come with limited instructions that can not be understood and there is no point of contact for assistance. Their customer services staff try to be helpful, but are unable to assist, because all the items are packed abroad and there are no supplier details. Surely customeres deserve more support when purchasing products that dont do what they say on the tin. I purchased ,the folding tidy rail; item 875/2329 today ...
...make no sense. I wish I had taken more notice of the reviews posted an this item, I disregarded the negative reviews, most people have had a similar experience to me. I know that you can return the goods, but the inconvienence of the whole returns process and the time it takes is so annoying. ...

If you've got other options, work somewhere else

Advantages: Enticing Starter Pay, Great colleagues
Disadvantages: Managers Menacing, Never Pay on Time, De-motivating On a whole

I have been working for Boots for about seven months now. What motivated me to work there was the high starting pay for a teenager (£6.52/hr). I work there on Saturdays and also on Tuesday nights. My colleagues are all friendly and easy to work with and the managers try to give the impression that they are motivating you, but that is not the case. Every move is scrutinised and the slightest slip up ends in you being belittled in front of your colleagues. ...
...person attending to three or more sections on some days. Also the staff discount on non boots items is a mere 12%. In my opinion I believe that boots is not a great place to work and whenever another job opportunity arises I will leave this job behind. ...

Diamond review  Sex Sells

Advantages: Eye opening
Disadvantages: Tawdry and vaguely depressing

... History Ann Summers in its first incarnation was the brainchild of brothers David and Ralph Gold. Despite having names that would have pretty much guaranteed them a stellar career in made-for-Channel-5-porn-films, the pair decided instead to venture into the branch of the sex industry that doesn’t require any learning of lines or the ability to moan whilst looking bored. Just as you were thinking it a bit weird that two brothers set up shop ...
...the UK now have an Ann Summers shop and any number of reps catering for parties. The Shops Oh dear. They’re just horrid, really. Believe it or not, even the most adventurous, sexually liberated soul will sicken of the sight of plastic and rubber penises eventually. And so it was for me. The damn things are everywhere. On straws, lollipops, necklaces, keyrings, ice cube moulds. You name it; it had a knob on it. There’s even a ‘pop-up willy’ ...
