the worst place i've ever worked for. 
management is overworked and stays late EVERY night ...its expected you stay late too..if you don't you will never catch up with the work, every day more things get added. and you don't have a moment to breathe  or to be trained properly so you don't have to constantly re do your work. that's a typical day. Re doing your work multiple times since no one can train you properly.
team work?  what teamwork..managers do the work of coordinators and coordinators do the work of managers...people constantly go on sick leave...or just keep getting pregnant. not to mention they demote management too if they don't deliver.

Left with zero support! Having to cover 5 brands but stuck in one location only because the other freelancer wasn’t allowed at that location! And they are the only freelancer with hours!  No hours but expected to do the impossible and do all the work on your own time! Felt like I was set up to fail from the very beginning even tho I knew the product line inside and out! If you want to be second best and never given the chance to shine then this position is for you 

During my shift I often met some people who only came in for their own brand.  This didn't discourage me as when you approach someone with a "sample container" and not just the standard size they tend to come back and buy what you showed them.  My co-workers were genuine and kind and we helped each other as a team.  The hardest part of the job was leaving to go home because I loved being there so much and the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing how happy you could make a man or woman if they just give you a moments of time.

If you like summer hours and free products 6 months that's all the perks you receive at this company. The company is Japanese and the president always come from Japan and don't understand the Canadian ways.  The Directors and Executives are always trying to make themselves look good and have not clue what there workers overall jobs are on a daily basis.  Very sneaky and not trustworthy.

The executive management team is not trustworthy and don't care about employee development.  The worst is HR.  If you go to HR to say something in confidence, before you even get back to your desk HR has reported it to your immediate manager. 
There is blatant favoritism, and everyone sees it, but is afraid to speak up.
If you don't walk around with a smile and pretend that everything is great, you will be removed.

Meeting sales targets and reporting them to account executive 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very friendly and beautifully organized

•	Demonstrating excellent customer service skills; participating in variety of events 
•	Creating, maintaining and updating customers database using Retaligence Software 
•	Achieving daily, monthly financial objectives; maintaining cash and daily balancing

Great company with wonderful ethics and in theory the position is fun.  No two days are the same, you get to manage various retail accounts, and you're working in the beauty industry.  In actuality it's a huge amount of work, my days are mostly 12 hour days.  We get a decent amount of days off, but never get to take them because the work load doesn't stop.

Work-life balance needs improvement, the best part of this job was my co-workers everyone is very friendly and caring. I did learn a lot in this position with the help of many different individuals from the many different departments.
