Not a great place to work if you are an engineer - Industrial Engineer Avon Employee Review

Pros

Had support from a couple of senior management personnel. Senior Management interested in developing engineered labor standards.

Cons

Senior Management had no idea how industrial engineering initiatives would help the warehouse/distribution center improve operations. Sooner or later the industrial engineer would be transferred to the packaging line as a supervisor or as a line balance analyst which is a complete waste of engineering skills. Only interested in engineered standards as a way of communicating numbers to regional director not as a way of removing waste in operations. Very resistant to changing operations i.e way of doing things on the floor for improving efficiency. To many people with different agendas.

Pros

See latest varied product offerings Can buy some samples & products @ discount

Cons

Need to find your own customers, many not home. Spend much time on computer, entering orders precisely. Trying to co- ordinate customers deliveries, for you to get their payments, so that you're not stuck for the bill & excess (some made in China mdse) products. Quite a lot effort for smaller $.
