Pros

My manager at the time didn’t breathe down my neck and the work wasn’t very difficult. You were paid for travel time and miles driven to each job site.

Cons

The job location kept changing every few days going to every ShopRite in the area. You are on your feet 100% of the time when you’re working. They got my pay wrong on multiple occasions and did nothing to truly rectify the issue. The issue was so bad that the payroll coordinator quit because of all the requests for changes. You would have to drive to every job site with your own vehicle and sometimes you wouldn’t know until a day before. It was never told to me that the job was temporary. Once we finished the jobs at ShopRites in the general Tri-State area I was unceremoniously laid off without my knowledge while promises of more work were made by my manager. Once we were finishing up the list of stores and we were told that there would be no more work we became unmotivated to continue but my manager lied to us saying there would be maintenance work available after but there was none. They called 2 weeks after the last job to let me know I was laid off.

Now that Fran (CEO) has been fired, it's a great place to work

Pros

- Great people - Fantastic user interface - Everyone goes above and beyond to get the job done - Can add features fairly quickly. Very agile company.

Cons

The underlying software doesn't have any product recognition so the solution will never really be able to scale without all the expensive manual intervention in the background.
