Pros

Super easy, fun and low stress job. Customers are nice and in a good mood because you're giving them snacks. Everyone will like you! I enjoyed setting up attractive and appealing food demo display tables. Good job for you if you don't mind interacting with the public in often very crowded and busy stores. You work independently:The store personnel never bothered me all day. I only saw them on my way in and on the way out of the store. No supervision: Only interacted with management by phone and email. No opinion on culture or senior management because I never actually met them and I worked on my own.

Cons

They wanted me to drive to other cities and counties to get enough hours The mileage reimbursement is too low The pay is low Not enough hours . I made $10.85 an hour. Not worth the wear and tear on my car or gas. So I quit. Because I was not willing to drive too far I didn't even get 4 days a month. Only had 4 to 6 hours a shift when there was work in my area. They expected me to provide certain things like a small microwave and bring it to the event. I refused to take any events that involved buying anything unless it was super cheap like a tray to display snacks. Customers interrogated me about food demos and whether it was allergen or gluten free. I just referred them to the label. When you show up to the store, your contact or department manager may not be ready for you even though you confirmed the all the details. There might not be enough space for you to set up. They may act like you're an inconvenience even though the store wants you there to help increase sales. There is no way to move up in this job. You have to bring things with you: folding table, demonstration materials provided by the company, cooler you provide yourself to keep food fresh.

Cons

an honest example of your day, we will pay you for 15 minutes to run up to a Walmart. For that 15 minutes we will expect you to read instructions for any new changes, run in and check in with a manager, find our product, count our products exactly, go to the back room and find our products (which is by far the longest step), count our products in the back exactly, bring our products to the front of the store, take pictures and answer questions, remove all old products, stock by date, take pictures and answer questions. If this takes you 25-30 minutes, which is probably a more accurate accounting, we will still only pay you for 15. If you are lucky there may be another job that day, but if not you will be expected to waste your gas, drive to the Walmart that we demanded, and work that 15 minute job alone. In that case we will be demanding that you take an hour out of your day for $3.00.
