Pros
The only pros to this job are the flexible hours. Also I have met a lot of great people while working in the field.
Cons
Upper management is aweful. I worked for this company for well over eight years with only two pay increases.. It is always feast or famine with the expectation that their work comes first and extra hours around the holidays are expected. But in January there is no work and no contact regarding what might be coming up.. I went many years without a DM and did my job well. Two years go a DM was put in charge of my area. I have been written up three times now. Others that I have worked with have NOT been written up for the same things that I HAVE been written up for. This company is very discriminatory. I am now at my final warning. Hmmm... this has happened to a lot of merchandisers who have been with this company for a long time. Projects with certain companies that have been consistant every year and used to pay an hour are now only paying 30 minutes. New people have been brought in with no experience. While they are 'fresh' and don't know better, they are given my work and others work since they are new and kiss butt, they get rental cars to drive all over to get work done. They are promised the world and don't know better that it is all lies. When that special project is completed and they have spent nights sleeping in their cars to get a few hours sleep, they are back to zero hours of work. You are expected to take any work that is given to you. You are expected to travel over 30 miles to complete a 30 minute job, making $5.50 and not getting any mileage pay. Projects are constantly extended due to materials not shipping on time. Project paperwork instructions are incorrect quite a bit. Stay far away from these guys!!!
