Pros
Meeting some lovely people (members)
Cons
Wages - still no idea how my pay is worked out at best it is minimum wage with a top-up. I work 3-5 meetings a week and have still don't pay tax You are a counsellor and paid less than kids who flip burgers Volume of products to store, take to meetings - no compensation storage Hours you claim are queried if they feel you are claiming to much Source your own meeting helpers Expected to cover events in your own time for free....let it be known to you if you 'let the side down' by declining Expected to have Meeting Facebook pages and interact 7 days a week Expected to use personal Facebook page to promote local meetings Expected to put up all own marketing materials, post flyers etc Sort own holiday or sickness cover - no one wants to cover but expects you to cover theirs! Promote overpriced products to anyone who is struggling - portion control? Buy a set of scales at £40..... Someone said it's like a cult - it is! Lot of bitchy long term Leaders who offer no support or encouragement to new Leaders. I've lost count of how many new people have left because the person supposed to be supporting them never answered the phone,returned their messages or replied to emails. They play on the 'think about your members' anytime you need time off, need to leave leading a meeting.... Everything done on spreadsheets - from meeting administration to weekly timesheet
