CDS (Club Demonstration Services) reviews

Ability to interact with the public. Free food. Camaraderie with fellow economic refugees: almost 90% are over 50 years old. May of us are college educated and have had good work careers but unable to find better paying work due to many factors, including being laid off in the Great Recession and then unable to find a similar well paying work situation. Many feel this is due to an "unspoken reason" that we are mature adults over age 50. This seems to be a very common denominator.

High pay for the time worked. Flexible hours for people who are on disability or in school. Kind management team. Flexibility towards personal life problems. Despite a lot of my complaints this is certainly the place I was treated the best of all the bosses I ever had. And I value that more than anything. I made a lot of contacts here both as personal friends and colleagues. I know that I can always return if need be. And it was a stepping stone for me in a bad time in my life. My Reynauds disability was not mocked or questioned once. (A cold sensitivity) I was always accommodated by not just my manager but also my co workers went out of their way to put things in the freezer for me and switched demonstrations with me when i didn’t feel confident I could do it properly. In the past jobs haven’t taken my hip issues, neck arthritis, reynauds, etc seriously and thought I was trying to get out of working certain shifts. I was never treated that way here and it’s probably the thing I’ll miss the most. I was treated like a person not a number. It’s easy to request a day off of work or take a lot of vacation if you don’t plan on being management.
