Pros

Watching the office make complete fools of themselves in a corporate "rock music" video, that they wasted money making.

Cons

Watching the office make complete fools of themselves in a corporate "rock music" video, that they wasted money making. I worked for 9 years as a DC ~ they like to call us DC's instead of Data Collectors, because that makes us sound less valuable, like peons. DC's are treated as worthless nuisances by the office. There is no true Human Resources department. Review dated 9/8/2013 is written by Retail Data...... And for a third time, In September, Retail Data lied and cheated the Data Collector's again out of half their pay on undercover jobs, using the reasoning that they are going to make "more money." Under cover jobs are the most stressful jobs because you are doing them without the stores permission. You do not have a choice of whether or not to do undercover work, so you are forced to do the job, even if you are thrown out of the store by the manager of the store. And when they cut your jobs/work load down to nothing, or give them to someone who the manager likes better -- they threaten to put you on performance review because you "don't have enough hours" -- even though they are the ones who control how much work you get. Retail Data misleads their employees -- and their clients. Selling data from one store as data from another is cheating the client, and not giving them what they paid for. The company will probably lose all its seasoned employees, causing the data they collect by newbies to be inaccurate and worthless. I hope that their clients realize what they aren't getting what they are really paying for. At the same time they are cutting payrates by 50% -- RD is asking employees to refer people they know, you are stating in a conference call that you will be cutting new hire rates....so why would we want to recommend a friend when your rates are already too low?

Pros

Flexible, easy to learn the basics and complete self-paced training, and a good option for side income that can work around a main job or busy life. They have a help line to call for trouble with jobs and questions. If you have to leave a voicemail, they are usually pretty good about calling back fairly quickly.

Cons

Sometimes you have to figure out how to do certain jobs on the fly if you haven't done them before, so it can feel a bit like being tossed in and expected to sink or swim. They do have a help line to call if you have trouble figuring it out, though.
