CDS (Club Demonstration Services) reviews

Upper management changes rules daily without any regard to how it could impact employees. One day you’re doing your job thinking that everything is correct and up to policy , the next day you’re being reprimanded for something that you had no idea changed. No benefits or commission come with working here, yet they push employees to work extra hard to make their sale goals. You don’t even get a discount to a costco membership, despite being the reason for their increase in sales. Not to mention, they give limited time to get tasks done. They expect you to be on the floor and fully set up within 30 minutes (which isn’t feasible when you have a cooking demo) and during shutdown, they want you to have station cleaned, dishes washed, and carts put away all within 30 minutes. This may sound like plenty of time, but when you’re working with a mixture of people who are up in age, careless, or new to the job, it can take a lot longer than intended.

One con for working for CDS is that it seems like the workers are the last people on the priorities list for company executives. You also may experience body pain due to standing for the whole shift and looking down as you cook and prepare sample trays non-stop.
