Current Employee – been working at Pampered Chef part-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Set my own schedule and hours, fun job. Made about $100-150 per show. Always earn free products and bonuses. Have earned a vacation every year. Great training program from company.

Cons – Very hard to find good people to join your team that are actually willing to work hard and that is really the only way to make really great money. Must be an upper level director to support yourself financially and it's very hard to get there.

Advice to Senior Management – They should have never changed the career plan. Have been with the company for over 10 years and have always worked hard but lost directorship and had to work really hard to get it back and now lost it again. Don't want to play the game of rebuilding again so I am getting a regular day job now that my kids are older. Would have stayed with them forever if I could have maintained directorship and advanced to the next level and made better m,oney.

Former Employee – worked at Pampered Chef full-time for less than a year

Pros – Good people, but are leaving this sinking ship v fast. As this company's losses are mounting, good people are leaving. Top management is under pressure from owner, so they are making people work 80+ hours a week, including nights & weekends.

Cons – v poor treatment to employees. Three people make decision their... HR and leadership is horrible.. They really mis-treat people. Do not expect to get any respect for yourself as human or your work if you decide to work for them.

Advice to Senior Management – Three people rule their IT. Learn to respect people..

Former Employee – worked at Pampered Chef as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Support and equipment was very accessible in my situation, I had a ride the sales meetings from my recruiter. I never left a meeting without some good food and learning something new.

Cons – It was almost impossible to market college students while I was living in the dorms. There were only a handful of products students would find useful, and I was a small fish in big pond with no sales experience on where and when to begin. I had no car.

Advice to Senior Management – Other than cold calls and family, team up with the student to educate them on the products more and maybe create a "dorm kit" to offer students.

Current Employee – been working at Pampered Chef part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Straightforward selftraining dvds but the best way to learn how to throw a party is to attend one. And buy the large startup kit -- its worth the slightly higher cost then sell any items you dont want to keep at your first party at 10% off

Cons – Had none! It was exactly what I expected and payment was prompt.

Advice to Senior Management – More order forms! After a couple shows it's easy to run out.
