Kontras
CND only pays to Education Ambassadors (who are hired as independent contractors) per event, which can be anywhere from 30mins-all day. Sometimes you have to drive 4 hours for a 30 min paid event but you don't get paid for time spent in driving and only get paid for mileage over 300 miles. Preparing for an event or a class is time consuming and is not get paid. You will have to memorize their huge educational encyclopedia and perform any event according to a manual for that event. You will have to travel with heavy bags full of products which is a hassle. You don't get paid for answering numerous emails from CND corporate employees or consumers, trainings, mandatory virtual meetings. You can't rely on this job for income, because they don't always have events for you to do. It can be a good supplement to your current job if you are very organized, reply quickly to emails, business savvy and very patient when it comes to dealing with customers.
