No communication / help from my AE

Pros

Loved going from store to store educating, especially since so many of the stores were not familiar with Kate. I loved getting everyone excited.- and showing them the products

Cons

I had zero communication with my boss, I would reach out consistently with no response. When we were promised over and over to get boxes of gratis to give out to the stores, and to get our Hydro facial set up, I informed the stores. They were so excited, and yet I never got anything. Three months after working for the company, I was completely ghosted by my boss
