Pros

pay was ok when I started The benefits are ok. You get paid time off. lol

Cons

As a project manager you are salary (exempt). Except that I don't meet any of the governments requirements for those rules. My state labor department is pursuing the 10,000 in overtime I am owed. No review or raise in over 5 years. when you inquire you are told, if you don't like it quit. No response to time off requests and then PTO disappears. (what's the point of paid time off if you cant use it). Illegal? your team members don't want to travel 10 hours for 4.25 hour and its your fault. No support from those above you. Per deim of 15 dollars a night. well below industry average. Most team members do not have cars or license's so on Sunday you spend hours picking them up. Minimal communication. Expect to work 225+ hours a month. To many other cons to list HR is a joke. Ask a question, and you are told they will get back to you. Don't hold your breathe waiting for an answer. Stay away, you cannot be that desperate for a job!

Underpaid and underappreciated, but work in a pinch

Pros

Quick hire process when you need a job. SOMEWHAT flexible schedule. I got two raises within the first year. Able to work alone for a lot of the jobs and form good relationships with store personnel.

Cons

I put down part time because some weeks are only 8 to 10 hours... when others are 50 or 60. Most times it's hard to reach management. When I resigned, she didn't comment on it, despite frequent emails and texts. I finally just stopped going to assignments, and then she noticed. "Flexible" is misleading. Big resets with multiple people have to be at a set time... set by the company, not you. Often times, you are over booked. If you are, you have to choose which to go to. If you are designated as team lead, you have to go in a half hour early to do prep and if others who are overbooked don't, you don't get paid. Even if the project finishes, you don't get paid extra for being team lead, but you have to enter the data, which includes pictures. You also don't get paid for time if the project runs over what the company considers typical time, which happens often with older stores with bad shelving or non standard setups. They also don't pay for time spent organizing your schedule or entering data for plans that run long. They also don't pay for expenses such as internet, paper and ink (which you use a lot of), camera batteries or the first 30 miles of mileage. (If you only do one assignment, you don't get mileage at all!) The company line is that you can use your phone to do the assignments, which includes pictures, but they also don't pay for that. Recently, they have been pushing for all plans to be entered by phone, but again with no subsidy for resulting charges.

Pros

Hours are flexible. District Managers are good about keeping in contact. In-store job requirements are usually easy to follow.

Cons

Low pay, might get paid $5 an hour or less if they don't give you enough time to do a project. Their website design is horrible. Not user-friendly. Some jobs you can't input data when they are completed, you have to wait until the date it is due even if you get it done earlier. Very shady in how they compute mileage and time for reimbursement. Have to use your own paper and ink, adds up fast!
