Current Employee – been working at RGIS full-time for more than a year
Pros – You get to work with some fun people.
Cons – You may not get the hours you need to pay your bills.
Advice to Senior Management – Use the options that you give the employees. If you say be dressed a certain way and some employees are not, send them home. If you don't want tattoos showing then follow your own rules about it.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for less than a year
Pros – Friendly people, easy work, decent pay. Excellent summer job for a teenager or college student .Great job if you are looking to supplement your income. If you can work production you have a great chance to make decent money.
Cons – Traveling long distances to do four or 5 hours worth of work, no mileage compensation, scare tactics. Manager told us at training that people from corporate were sitting and watching us through a security camera in the ceiling of the store. Not a good job for someone needing full time hours and benefits. One break per shift. Work can be tiring at times. Not a good position for someone with health issues This is not an ideal job if you have small children because sometimes you have to work 3rd shift.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop the scare tactics and do not talk to me about my former job which is your competitor. My former employer used to work for RGIS and I was told the reasons that he left/ was terminated. None of my business. Thoughts like that need to be kept to one's self. Don't assume all people who come to work for you are desperate or stupid. Scare tactics are childish and unprofessional. Your 10 keys are hard to use.

Former Employee – worked at RGIS part-time for less than a year
Pros – -Paid training, hotel, travel, decent pay, chance for pay increases, and it's an easy job. If your car gets good gas mileage then I recommend driving yourself. Their travel pay is an easy way to make some extra money and it's nice to have your own transportation while you're away from home.
Cons – They lay you off May - June 15th. There could have been more compensation for being on the road 4 days out of the week and having to share a hotel room with someone you may not know. Personally, I don't get excited to share a hotel room with a stranger after working a long day and not getting much sleep.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Flexible schedule for part time employees. Varied work locations so not too repetitive. Fairly easy work most of the time.
Cons – Little opportunity for advancement; managers tend to keep there positions for a long time. No rewards or recognition for being a dependable, hard worker. Hourly pay cap. Once you reach top tier, no more raises. Productivity expectations are sometimes unreasonable. Possible long drives for only a few hours of work; basically working for gas in those situations. Demotions and pay cuts are possible if you don't meet quarterly expectations.
Advice to Senior Management – Remove pay cap and reward your dependable workers.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS full-time for more than a year
Pros – Meet different people everyday (except RGIS's employees, but turn over is important)
Cons – Salary not realy important ( TL is around € 1200 in France so it's $1500 after gouvernment taxes)
A lot of hours (drive long distances)
Advice to Senior Management – In most of case it's ok but sometimes not really - auditors have a lot of pressure (don't do errors or you left, don't talk each others during inventories...)

Former Employee – worked at RGIS part-time for more than 7 years
Pros – An employee could set their own days and hours of availability and there was room to move up if desired.
Cons – You need to 10key and count pretty quickly and counting can be hard on your knees at times, good luck!
Advice to Senior Management – Management needs to develop better communication within the company, especially w/new, lower level employees and they need better benefits.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time
Pros – I gained experience in different areas of the company while working for this company by first being an inventory auditor, then a team leader and finally, a part-time secretary. I also enjoyed being able to meet a great amount of people and see many different towns while traveling out of town to do inventories.
Cons – I would say that the only downsides of working at RGIS would be that sometimes the hours are either very early in the morning or late at night when stores are closed. Also, not all stores have monthly inventories, some do them quarterly, others do them semi-annually and yet there are the ones who only do them yearly in January. This makes the beginning of the year very busy for the company but also makes their employees very weary from being stretched so thin, sometimes with little time between stores. Then other times of the year are really slow like October through December is one slow time that I remember.
Advice to Senior Management – Only positive things to say hear... you all do the best you can at running an efficient inventory while maintaining a balance that satisfies both the clients and the employees.

Current Employee – been working at RGIS part-time for more than a year
Pros – You will likely form close bonds with your coworkers, there is great potential for getting more hours of work, and theoretically there is room for advancement.
Cons – You will get yelled at. The schedule is unreliable--you might be scheduled for twenty, but a store is canceled, other stores finish faster, and you get fifteen. Alternatively, you are scheduled for twenty and one runs long, and you end up with an additional ten hours in one store. Shift start times can range from 0230 to 2100. You will only get your schedule in Saturday-Friday lumps, and only one week in advance. Any absences must be called in at least twenty one days in advance--failure to do so can result in termination. You will get yelled at.
Advice to Senior Management – Management should really yell less at the employees, especially when even management admits that there was no mistake or error in the employees actions.
