Pros

Pay better than minimum wage. Taking home left over samples.

Cons

No pay raises given. Admin Time that you never get paid for. Expected to check email and schedule daily with no compensation. (Admin Time) Expected to be available 24/7 to work; doesn't matter if it is day, night, or major holiday. Expected to be available to work even if you are not scheduled to work and expected not to make any type of personal plans on days that are left open on schedule. Expected to be available to work other stores and lose 40 miles off gas mileage expense. (First 20 and last 20 miles) Having to many items on Demo and not being able to do demo correctly due to large item amounts. Being denied demos as a means of punishment when you need a day off or call in sick. Expected to work when you are sick, even though it is a food safety valuation and goes against company policy. Policies changing with out notice and with no explanation. Company operating in the gray area's of the law. Even though we are not Independent Contractors or Statutory Employees, company will not take out the proper taxes from your pay check. (Something the IRS needs to check into) Working major Holidays and not being paid time an a half.(Does not matter if you are FT or PT, it interrupts your family life) Supervisors who will not take the time to answer questions when emailed or act rude by phone when you ask questions. Supervisors that don't take time to visit stores at least once a month.(Not fulfilling their job duties) Supervisors who don't care about quality of demo as long as they are 100% and like good to company. Forged reports and numbers to make demo's look good. Poor quality work environment.

Pros

It's a job, if you don't want to work alot, it's a wonderful place to work, otherwise......................

Cons

No raises, dont know schedule until the Friday before the work week, can't make plans to work another job. Always hiring new people, even though there aren't enough hours for the people already employed, receive phone calls asking me if I'd like to work for Advantage, and I'm already employed.

Pros

Great co-workers OK benefits Ability to have some creativity Promotion from within is an option Travel expenses are covered Drug and background screening is required

Cons

Policies seem to unoficially change, without notice High turnover rate in HR or other offices, make dealing with problematic employees a nightmare Hours are very long Appreciation is limited, and deal out in an offhand manner Salary is very low, compared to simiar positions Bonuses are difficult to achieve Club managers (not employed by ASM), are extremely often extrememly difficult to work with, and ASM does not seem interested in holding them to their contract obligations; only interested in adhering to our contract, even if it compromises safety, integrity, and home life of employees.
