Pros
Great people, great culture, outstanding internship program that (if you're good) will definitely lead to a full-time offer if that's what you're looking for. Interns have a BIG project to complete over the summer that really makes a difference for the business, and you actually have something of substance to discuss in future interviews!
Cons
Takes a long time to get anything done because it goes through a lot of people. Also, your experience will definitely depend on what team you're working with, and every team has its own personality. The interview will be a good time to understand if they are a good fit for you.
Advice to Senior Management
Some managers are great, some not so much. I've had experiences with both, and I'd say make sure you encourage and pay attention to the interns because they talk. However, your internship program is outstanding, and I'm glad to have been a part of it for two summers.
Pros
It's a great way to make some secondary income if you are committed with putting the work in.
Cons
It takes a while to build up your client base to make a significant amount of money, but if you have some patience you can succeed in this business.
Pros
Overall the company is founded and run on a solid culture. My work environment has been very enjoyable and my boss reasonable.
Cons
In trying to balance work and family, a little more flexibility from the company would go a long long way.
Advice to Senior Management
Get rid of underperformers with bad attitudes, they bring everyone down.
Pros
Family atmosphere, innovative products and great lifestyle for work life balance. The location is a small city and great for families.
Cons
Very small place to live for young professionals, not very diverse in company and community. There is a lot that is unknown about marketing and sales plans.
Advice to Senior Management
Change your business model
Pros
#1) affordable quality skin care and even more affordable when you're an IBO (independent
business owner)
#2) beats the competition on both price and product performance
#3) 180 days money back guarantee (even if the bottle is empty)
#4) loads of fun at the skin care parties and potluck dinners
Cons
#1 Not all women are willing to even TRY your product
I had a list of 57 women and only 2 decided to TRY and BUY my product . The rest were very
happy with their own products.
#2 I sold $371 on my first three months only to get a check for $73 from the company.
#3 you must pay $50 per year to renew your business and $10 a month for two business meetings
#4) you pay for the product samples
Advice to Senior Management
they should pay us 40% of what we sell or maybe even 50% considering how much we have to pay for the meetings and pay to renew the business plus product samples.
Pros
nice working environment and co-workers
Cons
career growth and compensation are moderate.
Pros
Some of the best reasons to work at Amway is it allows one to work at their own pace. Also depending on if you just need a little extra money or you are looking for a life long career, Amway allows you to do what is good for your personal self.
Cons
It is kind of hard to get started at Amway if you don't know many people, but if this is the case it gives you incentive to open up to others and be more sociable,
Advice to Senior Management
The only advice I would give to the leaders of Amway is to maybe have some more training videos on putting yourself out there and getting buyers and more IBO's, some of the ones on the site are somewhat dull.
Pros
love the product n how it changes people files, love optimism, enjoying meeting new people. i can do it!
Cons
need to buy lots of product in order to show customers. im all alone in houston area, dont know any one at amway trying to stand on my own.
Advice to Senior Management
to have books and other in more then just spanish!
Pros
Create own hours, unlimited growth, great products, the best products in the world, very reasonable and hard to beat prices
Cons
Building client base can be difficult at times, best way to sell is with intro kit. Not much is bad about it
Advice to Senior Management
Train more on presentation of products to new customers. Also more company wide meetings would also help out to encourage motivation.
Pros
The benefits are good, the owners care about people but management does not care for them, only for their benefits.
Cons
Excesive favoritism, you have to bend over backwards to succed and to be on the good side of the supervisors and managers
