Complaint Review: Avon Cosmetics Inc

Avon Cosmetics, Inc Avon cosmetics hired me as a District Sales Manager with a promised weekly salary. Avon hired me, used me like an ox, used my car, gas, mileage wear-and-tear. Never paid me and flat out jeered at my efforts to get paid. I found Avon to be very abusive to lone women on Social Security Internet

I was hired by Avon Cosmetics Inc. as a District Sales Manager, to recruit and train women as door-to-door sales representatives.  I was promised a weekly salary..and was never paid by Avon.  Avon used my time, my car, my gas, my mileage and wear on my car.  Worked me from 6am to attend corporate meetings and drop into bed at midnight totally exhausted; while I hauled lifted and toted tonnage of boxes of Avon If I had been Allied Moving Vans, I would have been paid several hundred dollars just for the tonnage of hauling. I was never paid at all by this "woman's opportunity" and I found Avon to be very abusive and contempuous of the lone women they recruit to sell..many of those lone women were senior on Social Secuity, others lone mothers


Avon jeered my efforts to get both paid for my WORK and reimbursed for expenses. I suspect I made it too clear that Avon treatment of powerless women was abuse. Avon is in for some big surprises. My great grandfather was Frank Billings Kellogg. Served United States Congress 1915, New York Senate 1917, Secretary of State, and Ambassador to Great Britain 1925 (served King George V and Queen Mary of Teck) Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact. Nobel Peace Prize world court judge. The Hague


I was mistaken as powerless lone women. Which was a very much unplanned form of investigative reporting. When I get done exposing what I witnesed Avon do to other women as "women's money making opportunity" Avon will never wipe the red off face


What can you expect of massive cosmetic companies that spend millions$$ on ONE model and pay the women who WORK 2% commissions or nothing at all but "chance" They shout contempt for women who work to earn money in 'her own' industry
