"Flyer" position?

[weezee]

Hi there,

Have any of you ever worked as a flyer/floater? If so, did you like it? I've been waiting for a p/t position to come open in cosmetics (Macy's) for a few months and there is nothing yet so the manager is going to hire me as a flyer until something else becomes available. I know you don't make commission and you work at whatever counter needs you. I was just curious if anyone else had ever worked in this position and what you thought of it.

My friend did it. She loved it, because she learned so much about all the different products and the girls at the counters spoiled her with samples so she could say how nice the products were.
One of the account managers for the counters loved her so much she got a job with them instead and they don't have a floater any more!
