Pros

There are some slow times, where as a manager you get paid for working less than 40 hours in a week. Use of company vehicles for personal use. Get to work with some great people. laptops provided for personal use.

Cons

Time off was difficult to schedule sometimes. Hours of work were never set, depended on each individual job. Shift work and evenings, and weekends. Some peak periods made you work over 60+ hours in a week, sometimes nore than 6 days straight. Pay for managers is average at best unless you have been there a long time.

Pros

This is a good job for a bean counter. Many varieties of retail stores to inventory without the monoteny. Not always assigned to same areas to count. Always interesting people to work with and all have a story. Local office has an excellent, and fair manager. He is never afraid to get into the inventory himself and help out. Large area to cover for inventories if you enjoy traveling. Shuttle is provided for every inventory trip originating from local office. Travel pay is provided for travel over one hour with meal expense for overnight trips.

Cons

Pay is very meager and hours of work per week is low. Don't expect this job to pay the bills. Managers from other offices are often condesending and berrating. You may have to work with these managers often as multiple offices work on one site from time to time. Some of these managers have a chip on their shoulder and often remind Inventory Associates from other offices they can be removed from a job at their discresion. This is not a 9 to 6 job. You must be very flexable with your hours, that is, you may have to report to a site as early as 4 am, or as late as 6 pm. If you cannot handle working all hours of the day, then you should not work this type of job.

Pros

If you like to travel it is a great place to work. There are so many different stores that we do that it never gets boring for me.

Cons

They are really not fair how they treat some people and how others get away with whatever they want to do. They dont give you enough hours to make a decent paycheck. It is not a company that I would reccommend to work for if you need a full time job.
