I was thinking about becoming an Avon representative until ...

Did you see the piece about Avon on Good Morning America last week?

They said you could make $80,000 a year sellinig Avon.

Sounds good to me, so I was thinking about becoming an Avon representative unti I started reading about all of these problems.

Avon believes their online systems have a problem--they advertised in Information Week for solutions...

John:
I think your link regarding Avon's InformationWeek ad is a bit dated...most likely before 2001.

BTW, when a company has over 500,000 representatives...there are bound to be people who don't get the procedures and find themselves in a position they are not happy about. There are reasons why there are penalties for abuse of the return policy...reps try to game the system to their advantage. Believe me, Avon is a company that is all about creating a positive representative experience.
