Pros
- If lucky, you get sent to outlets that are less profit driven for promotions, which allows you to establish deeper and more solid connections with customers - training is quite active and fun
Cons
- Upper management oblivious to working conditions of staff; some people (Area Lead) can text in inappropriate and disrespectful manners by all-capsing and accusing the promoters of not doing their job despite having done so - Depending on outlet, promoters can be isolated from the full time staff at retail outlets; queries to client (retail) staff can be dismissed/ignored - Micromanagement here and there, with photos taken of "inappropriate grooming and posture" without consent. No particular attempt to communicate with staff on their daily needs, only consistently texted and asked "are you aware of your role as a promoter?" - No particular attempt to motivate or understand the promoters; only positions "consequences" and "being fierce" as a reaction to negative complaints. - long retail hours; depending on outlet, may not even allow promoters to use toilet/sit when needed - overall, potentially red flag for those looking for a management that respects your work rather than threatening to fire you constantly
