Pros

A fancy looking office Nothing

Cons

You get to look ridiculous running around places that clearly state “NO SOLICITING,” like Target, Costco, Starbucks, parking lots & everything in between. All girl staff (except for the CEO) and by “girl” I do mean young & unprofessional looking, going to the gym attire, no makeup and hair not even done (yet you’re selling those services so you may want to look the part too). They pry for information to gossip on no matter how much you deter the conversation. Running around in tennis shoes and lying to women about “how great their hair and/or skin looks” to make a buck not only looks ridiculous, but is laughable - especially when you can’t even dress like an employee. I’m so pleased to see the turnovers every two weeks in this “gossiping marathon in tennis shoes” they call a “job.” Employees, upon being hired, are told to write positive reviews on here...don’t be fooled, nothing about this company is ethical! Sending girls of barely 18 years of age to hound women at places that can, and will arrest you for soliciting is not a “job.” You do that at my now great career, I will call the police. It’s illegal for a reason. Oh, and jealousy doesn’t look good on you girls; junior high gossip and snares only make you, the company and everyone around you look ridiculous. Your second interview you are going to run around the location you are told to drive through with a girl that doesn’t even tell you about the “promotion” she’s selling so you’ll get blindsided, but she won’t relay that back to the CEO (no matter how much she “loves” your energy). Waste of time, gas, and sanity.

Formosi Response
6y
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about working within the sales team at Formosi. While no company enjoys reading posts like this, we are appreciative of the opportunity to respond. It’s disappointing for us to read that you didn’t have a clear understanding of the position. A hiring process a Formosi is very intensive. It can take between three days to a month. All potential employees, dependent on the department they are applying for, participate in a scheduled interview where the process could take up to four hours. During this extensive interview process potential employees get to experience the job first hand. Formosi’s dress code for all employees is quite upscale. This does include business casual and athleisure, due to fact we are representing beauty and wellness. We do encourage our employees as well as anyone who has had an experience with Formosi to share their experience by writing a review. Therefore, none of the positive ratings on GlassDoor are fake or falsely generated by the company. We strive to create collaborative and comfortable environments where our teams can easily focus on doing their best work. Sales can certainly be an ambitious environment but we work hard to create transparency and fairness within our teams. You always have the freedom on where and how to sell, this is what makes Formosi a great place to work. Working for a company for a few short days is not enough time to understand counter and clientele relationship development, network with industry professionals, experience epic company events, visit local businesses, participate in public relations, develop essential team building skills with colleges, or contribute to company sales. I’m sorry to hear that your short experience here at Formosi did not align with your dreams, goals, and desires and I hope you provided specific feedback to your manager and HR before you left so we can address your concerns.

Pros

Working at Formosi has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I’ve been learning and growing in ways I never imagined, and what excites me most is that there’s still so much more to explore and master. The opportunities for development here feel endless. The management team has played a huge role in my journey, they’re genuinely encouraging, forward-thinking, and always focused on the bigger picture. They’ve helped me navigate challenges, offered consistent support, and truly invested in my success. It’s rare to find leadership that not only believes in your potential but also goes out of their way to help you reach it. This career path has already been amazing, and I’m thrilled to continue expanding my skillset and applying it in ways that make a real difference in people’s lives. I’m beyond excited for what the future holds at Formosi, and I feel so lucky to be part of a team that’s passionate, supportive, and driven.

Cons

With so many new things to explore, it can be a challenge deciding what to dive into first.
