Pros

*I learned a lot (and I have 15 years of skincare sales *I got introduced to the medical side of skincare, making me more marketable

Cons

*changing goals midway through the month *despite being a top seller, wasn’t treated well *all about the $$ *No room for growth. They want to keep you as a BDM *Catty people/gossip *way too much to have to manage TWO skincare brands. *the most they pay base is $79k. Period. No negotiating-take it or leave it. *Overall, a very stressful experience. I get it that sales is stressful, but this is another level. I left because it was giving me constant anxiety.
