Cosmetics Sales Representatives

Cosmetics representatives in retail stores usually work in attractive, climate-controlled settings. But the hours are long and they must be on their feet. There is a lot of bending and heavy boxes of stock to unload and display. They may not leave the sales floor except at specified times. Many stores have evening and Sunday hours, and breaks and lunch may go by the board in a crush of customers.

Independent contractors usually place orders and accept deliveries at home. They then deliver to their customers, who may be neighbors or coworkers at their primary place of employment.
