Pros

pays some better than other demo companies.

Cons

Owner constantly emails, texts when you do a demo. She treats her demonstrators like (bad) kids. She calls the store and has people go there to spy on you. It wasn't but 5 minutes after I uploaded my paperwork to the portal than she called me, complaining about the pictures, the table, the inventory that I forgot to do. Her demonstrators are responsible for the ordering and stocking of the products. (Why are we responsible for the inventory being ordered for the grocery store??) Isn't that the responsibility of the person who was hired by the grocery chain? She even complained that the picture I took for confirmation of my purchases was not a picture. HUH??? I took it with my phone camera...WTH! She sounds like an over-caffeinated harpy when she talks with you and you can't get a word in edge-wise if your life depended on it. After she rode me like a jockey for all the "wrong" things she said I did (I've been doing demos for over 15 years) she had the nerve to get indignant when I canceled the next 3 demos that I previously told her I'd do.

Can be boring. Boss calls you at random times even at night. Expects you to answer. A bit pushy. Micromanaging. Very little trust and or respect at times.

Pros

there are no pros its a harmful company

Cons

Owner pays less wants to purposely then other companies. She keeps people by threatening them to call multiple agencies and does call multiple agencies so you don't get hired and stay with her. People that I knew that did demos working for the owner only did it because they were afraid of her calling other agencies and lying so they could lose thier other side gigs. The owner behaved like a busy body that bullied, was disorganized and harassed after my first demo that was four hours on a saturday it mess because of her directions and how she messed up the app with the wrong products on there. I later got called the entire week morning noon and night with her moon swings. I told her I discreetly and kindly I'm busy with my life and can't work for her. She got furious and told me she was going to call other agencies so they don't hire me and she actually did call a few agencies.
