Offering a new approach to a flexible work model, Direct Home Sales companies tell women they can, in fact, have it all and not feel guilty. In DHS, work time is not measured by the hands of the clock, but by the emotional fulfillment and fun it brings. Drawing from numerous interviews with consultants and observations at company-sponsored events, Paid to Party takes a closer look at how Direct Home Sales promises to change the way we think and feel about the struggles of balancing work and family.Families in focus.Home parties (Marketing)Social aspectsDirect sellingSocial aspectsWomen sales personnelWomenEmploymentSocial aspectsFlexible work arrangementsWork and familyHome parties (Marketing)Social aspects.Direct sellingSocial aspects.Women sales personnel.WomenEmploymentSocial aspects.Flexible work arrangements.Work and family.381/.14Mullaney Jamie L1604779Shope Janet Hinson1961-1604780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823789103321Paid to party3929747UNINA
