- They give you no money for gas. This started to become a problem when I was driving over an hour to get to an event. Or I was having to go to the team meetings in the morning/afternoon which was farther away from where my event was. I was spending 4x my usual amount of money on gas per week. - The marketing efforts are basically canabalizing the sales efforts. To get your sales you incentivized people to sign up with you using your promo code.... SO MANY people I talked to had a promo code that they got through their email, mail, or even promo you can get directly from the company website and some of them were better than my promo! It became ridiculous and evident that the company really didn't care about the success of the ambassadors. - The events. Sometimes the events really don't make sense OR we go to the same events a couple times a week and completely oversaturate our presence there. I've had issues with going to events and not being able to sell to anyone cause everyone had already been sold to or they decided the product wasn't for them! - The compensation wasn't something I could feel I could live off of and was completely lied to in the interview on the average sales made by an ambassador. I was told most people sell between 10-15 per week. I quickly learned that's not true and the average sales for our office was around 8. The compensation wasn't something I could live off of. - They expect a lot of turnover. When I quit it didn't even phase my boss. People come and go in this job on a weekly basis. It's rare that you will go an entire week without something quitting. - The hours are unpredictable and they definitely take advantage of your time. This is suppose to be a full time 40 hr job but it's rare that you actually get to 40 hours. However, you are working anywhere between 6-7 days a week. Some people I worked with didn't see days off. - I originally took the job because my manager told me in the interview that there is so much room for growth within the company. Uh, that's so false. You can get promoted from ambassadors to trainer within the office however, you are expected to work more AND YOU DON'T GET A PAY INCREASE OF ANY KIND! So what's the point?

It wasn't so bad when I started, but after a few weeks we had no in-house manager so the Denver manager started watching over us. He has zero management skills/experience, only cares about how well he does and doesn't want to help you or see you succeed, and literally bullies you if you aren't performing up to his standards. His so-called "training tips" are extremely subjective and gets mad if you don't pitch exactly how he tells you to. You drive nearly 30-45 minutes to each event and aren't compensated for driving (they will lie to you about this in the interview and say "it's possible"), the event coordinators have NO idea what they're doing and never schedule enough events for us or even properly coordinate with the sites and half the time the places don't even know we're coming that day. I have no idea why they're opening new offices for this brand ambassador program when half the offices don't even have managers or are established yet. There are so many growing pains and issues with this program that corporate turns its back to... Take my advice and run far FAR away from this job.
