Pros

When you travel the checks are amazing! Your travel alot by the way. It's all about what you make of the company. Be a hard worker and have fun while you work. It's easy and hard work all at The same time. Attention to detail is a must in order to do well at this position. Take your time and be trained by the right individuals.

Cons

Upper management kind of sucks at their jobs but the good part is you never really see them lol alot of the peopl here are kind of drama. Just don't get sucked into the drama and you'll be fine. You cannot advance within the company so that sucks. And your pay will stay the same as when you started. I'm one of the best in the traveling merchandising positions and they will not give me a raise. There are people that have been here for like 7 years and they only make $18 idk how they stay? Well no I know, when you travel you make the big bucks. Traveling gets old very fast. You'll be aways from home for a month and the work a few days at home and be back on the road, sometimes you just want to be home. Also the schedules are absolutely ridiculous at times. Alos they make lots of mistakes on your hours and pay checks. So my suggestion to anyone wanting a job here is please keep track of all hours and you'll be just fine. Your body will definitely be in some pain if you're anything like me people call for me alot to help them so I'm doing other people's physical demands and mine as well. But I'm more than willing to help those who are in need I'm just that person. I just what you all to know it's a physical job about 90% of the time so come to work.

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.
