Pros

Small work crew, multiple locations serviced by one team, flexible team lead, and responsive upper management, no issues with tattoos and/or piercings with an inclusive crew. Hired everybody it seemed

Cons

The long hours were not disclosed before I started working, overtime would be expected unless otherwise cleared with the team lead. It was common to stay hours past the "shift end time" to stay on schedule. Often the planograms were wrong or the store didn't have the hardware required. Finally, the crew would be half temporary workers with only a handful of SAS employees, which led to me regularly training newbies starting as early as my 2nd week.

Pros

• You work Mon-Thurs. Weekends are always free • You’re entitled to two breaks, a 30 minute unpaid break and a 15 minute paid break.

Cons

• This job will destroy your body. Lifting, kneeling, squatting all day for minimum wage is not sustainable. Nobody should have to work so hard for breadcrumbs in return. • Management will try to rush you to get the project done, which increases your risk of injury and products falling/breaking open • The hours are vary wildly depending on the project assigned. Sometimes you work 4-5 hours, sometimes closer to 9-10. Don’t bother making an appointment on your work day, because you probably won’t make it • Gas reimbursement is a joke, about a couple of dollars, and will not cover the full expense of your travel • Step stools can be hard to come by. You may have to stand on a milk crate. Cross your fingers that it doesn’t break
