Pros

ZERO PROS / NO FLEXIBILITY/LOW PAY

Cons

They are now requiring weekend work slinging cases of water you have 30 minutes to do this so if you are making 13.00 a hour you will get paid 6.50 for heavy lifting in 30 minutes you should be able to get a case up or just fluff and go the work consists of heavy labor low pay minus your drive time gas you might make 3.00 also magazine work you might think magazine work easy NOT boxes are over 50 pounds send way too many give you 30 to 45 minutes to break your back PREMIUM is no longer PREMIUM since ACOSTA has bought them . basically we are now hard labor stockers for less than minimum wage. This company is setting their people up for failure RUN FAST unless you want a sore back and no pay They are taking great merchandisers and giving us work that has no meaning the magazine company you need to get hired on with them the pay is triple more a hour. Premium needs to change their name to DEPLORABLE.

Pros

I have an amazing supervisor

Cons

Jobs assigned to you are 100% your responsibility. Only part-time without benefits but I get assigned about 40 hrs a week. You get assigned an overwhelming amount of tasks that most often cannot be completed in time and you get penalized then. No raises ever. Constant driving, sometimes up to over a hour away, which you do not get reimbursed for the commute to your 1st store unless its over 60 miles away. Get reimbursed for only 1/3 per gallon if gas, which is much, much lower than the IRS issued rate. You don't automatically get paid for the time of driving between stores unless you explicity specify it in your time sheet; something they don't tell you either. I have an amazing supervisor, but my area is understaffed and the turnover rate is high. I cover 2 zones within my area. I frequently work 10-12 hr days, Monday to Saturday, for only $14 per hr. Workers who worked for Premium before the merge between Crossmark to Premium get paid much more, but the Reps who came from Crossmark did not get a raise to meet that level.
