Fun and easy part-time work!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This company is a staffing agency that runs in-store demos all around the country. I have worked for them for a few years as a rep that samples and talks about beauty products in big retail stores. It's a lot of fun and it's not rocket science! I enjoy working with people and this is a great break from my day job. Payment is always received on time and the communication with the owner and her staff is always quick and to the point. They also staff for other marketing events, like what you would call brand ambassador work. These jobs are easier to come by during the summer and I have worked for a variety of big companies - food products, toy brands, sporting goods. Sometimes these gigs are at concerts, festivals, or just at stores. I highly recommend them if you are someone who enjoys customer service and working with people!

I had to forcefully take photos of people who didnt want to be photographed. If you want to get scammed this the perfect place for you.

Rude coworkers also. Expect you to know everything... When you do the job you get in trouble.

This is an EVIL company. I got evicted ,couldn't feed my children, my car got repo as well.

They pay! They also give you every detail before the event so I am not sure what you are referring to.

If you are in that much need of work brand ambassador gigs may not be for you. BA jobs are not consistent and cannot just live on that. All Brand Ambassador jobs ask for pictures. It’s a Marketing gig i.e.

pictures.

Also it’s proof you worked. it’s not hard.

Brigette is no longer with the company as of early 2018. It is a all new team.

Great team!! Everyone responds in a quick fashion. They have multiple ways to get in touch with the staff i.e. FB, Text, call, and email.

I had no issues reaching them and they were always professional with me. Haters gonna hate.

The Target ( Beauty Conceigers) employees are not part of Adelante Live staff. You cannot blame the staffing agency for a Target employee.

This person is there to help you at a Beauty demo to help locate necessary supplies or if questions about a brand you are not representing.

Again cannot control others. And always kill rudeness with kindness.

Adelante Live - Customer Care Review from Morgantown, Indiana

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I worked a shift for this company over 2 months ago and still have not gotten paid for it yet. They said my estimated pay date was a month ago. In confusion I reached out to the people that work for this company, got rude replies, unhelpful information, ad redirected to a different contact each time. Finally, I got in touch with the owner who was way out of line with me, and although frusteration showed on my end of the first email. He kept saying they have been a "professional company for 10" years, he tried telling me where I was wrong, told meit was my fault I didn't know where to look for who to contact, and told me he "can't make me read things I don't want to read" which was WAY uncalled for. Completely unprofessional. After reading reviews online about this company, I have no hopes in actually getting my check. Do not waste your time working for or with this company please, save yourself the hassle.

RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was ready to work an event at a Target with another brand ambassador. We get there, nobody in the store knew anything about the event. After 45 minutes, I left. I called Adelente Live to speak with my event contact. So rude, basically yelled at me for leaving, and said she was having the worst day of her life. While I sympathize with anyone having a terrible day at work, her manner and on the phone was beyond rude and I was hung up on. I left a comment on the event's Facebook page, and the event contact wrote a comment back saying "I didn't even talk to you" then quickly erased the comment knowing she had dropped the ball somewhere in the pipeline of this event execution. Terrible. Do not work for this company.

Non payment

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I worked an event for Adelante Live. It has been almost two months and I still haven't been paid. As of now my payment is late but I am hoping I don't get stiffed. We will see... I have sent them emails and they are pretty vague. I basically sent the a demand letter "email" letting them know my payment is late and to please send the check. It takes 30-45 days for them to send out the check to begin with. I will never, ever work for Adelante Live again. They ask you to pay for things out of pocket and then make you wait ages to get paid. Bad business indeed!

Adelante Live - Tampa, FL Never paid me for my work!

I'm no stranger to promo work. I have been a promo model for years now. I get consistent work even in a tough economy because I do my job right. To make a long story short, I was contracted by Adelante Live (Tampa, FL)for some in-store demos. Of the 3 demos I was contracted to do I only received product for 1 of them. On the second occassion I did not receive any product. I still went and did my job as best I could and as instructed by the owner of the company (Janice Rodriguez). For the third demo I still did not receive any product. I called the agency let them know about the situation. I was convinced by a manager to go into the store anyway until they 'figured something out.' Once I got to the store I received a call and was instructed to make a purchase for the product I was to demo. WHAT?! Not only do I have to wait for weeks for a paycheck but, now I have to go into my own pocket. I declined. Honestly, I was also low on cash which I did tell them. I asked if I would still get paid for my time. Basically, all I heard was a lot of noise and never heard back from Adelante Live and NEVER RECEIVED PAYMENT. I completely wasted a Saturday.

I submitted my profile/pics and applied to many jobs they posted but never got a response. I contacted the administration and asked that they review my profile as I was qualified to do the promo jobs.

One of the assistants told me since I am not in my early 20s that they will not consider me.

That is unfortunate because I am not old and still look good and very educated and qualified. Thumbs down to this company.

Hires a lot of idiots and people with no common sense!!! Everytime I deal with management I also get a lot of bs that slows down my paycheck!!!

I just decided NOT TO WORK FOR ADELANTE LIVE AGAIN.

The time I waste collecting my money could be time I can use to get more work. My opinion of Adelante Live is LOW!!!

You have to roll with the punches when you work demos. Thats just the way it is. IDK my experiences with Adelante have been nothing but positive, but thats just me.

Guest

Adelante Live (Tampa, FL): The same exact non-sense happened to me! I got into it with Janice Rodriguez, (owner) because of her lack of professionalism.

I too was not paid although I was convinced to go into the stores and conduct a demo without product.

A couple of months ago my friend was hired for a promo and was called two hours before the promo to make staff cuts. Apparently, they hired too many BAS.
