Pros

There's always been a need for and will continue to be at some levels for independent contractors, vendors and brand ambassador. Across the big businesses in communities in my opinion there's relationships to be built.

Cons

The pay is under no circumstance a valued reason to apply and work here. That being said the stores are a basic contract for hire. Vendors as myself conclude contract success this company does not grasp the respect and will never be out of the woods for mutual working environment as long as this company continues to think of their long-term contract as a long-standing shook on it once and set in stone guarantee. A different view of contract worker and store associate versus a work environment that sees and visualizes goals in the store and future respect for the community.

Pros

The hours! The shifts! The company and coworkers that are now your family! They're understanding, and by your side even after years of not being around.

Cons

None really. They have even integrated an AI software to help our work be tip top.

Pros

Have more knowledge of Grocery stores.

Cons

* Hired as a Full Time Traveling Retail Merchandiser, then unbeknownst to me, they changed my Title to Part Time. Why? I showed them my Onboarding Papers that clearly stated "Full Time" They NEVER changed it back. * You travel all over the state of Az, and you're suppose to get reimbursed a percent of how ever much you spent on gas. I went all over, from Phoenix, to Tucson to Vistancia and so on. I NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE, got reimbursed for gas. * There is NEVER a Boss or Supervisor on job sites. There is 1 Leader in charge for that 1 particular job. You NEVER get training or even shown what to do. When you 1st start, you are so lost. No one, especially old timers, will NOT help you. Why should they, they not Boss. You literally learn by watching. I worked there about 6 months, I saw, met and talked face to face with The Boss ..ONCE. * You start around 9PM, til about 5 in the morning. After meeting, talking and working with your team, it seems that most employees are ex cons, or recovering addicts or just got out of jail. That's not really a bad thing, but some are a little scary. * Once I deposited my paycheck in my acct, instead of just cashing it like normal. 2 days later, they reversed the deposit, withdrew and took paycheck back. Why? I fought them, I fought the bank but I NEVER got it back.
