Great job with poor management.
Merchandiser (Former Employee), Virginia Beach, VA – May 21, 2013
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: lacking ethical management.
On atypical work day I would go into the store check and cut-in new items, then stock any displays and put out any shippers that were not stocked the night before. Make sure that all products have price signs, and are still active upc's. I learned how to write vcm's and how to do fresh meat orders. I only had two co-workers which were my supervisors. – more... The hardest part of the job would have to be the poor management displayed in the company. The most enjoyable thing about the position was the creative freedom I was allotted. – less

Impressive product up-selling tactics!
Event Specialist (Current Employee), Las Vegas, NV – May 12, 2013
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: no cons!
A day at work are never the same due to the fact that as an Event Specialist, we are never assigned on the same event twice atleast in one week. Everyday I learn something new about a merchandise product that I can share with club members at the site. Through me, I am able to up-sell and give customers inside knowledge about a product demo. Management – more... is excellent, our kits are never confusing nor incomplete. My co-workers treats everyone as family and are very outgoing and friendly towards everyone. The hardest part of the job is a slow day because it slows down our up-selling. The most enjoyable part of the job is the great customer satisfaction a product brings through demo. Customers always wants to test drive a product to ensure features before purchasing. – less

ask to much for you to pay yourself, not honesty
Mars choc team (Former Employee), louisiana – April 26, 2013
Cons: too much travel, not paid for materals needed for job, not honesty company
I am a past employee. This company expects you to put 1,000 plus miles on your own car. They send you a lot of fixtures, and expect you to storage them at your expense. They tell you , they will give you bonus money. Than never pay. Than when you, give your 2 week notice, and do everything Your supose to do. They mail you letters , saying you did not – more... return there i-pads, handhelds and you have to pay for them. When you did return there stuff, or etc. They tell you they are family friendly. But they send you 3 to 4 hours away from home. At least 5 days of the week. They tell you, they are going to pay vacation time for your last week, and they don't pay you at all. You got to fight for your last check. They make the employee's compete agaist each other for bonus money, but don't follow up ; to see if they are reporting honesty. The hard working, honesty reps are screwed. and the liers are rewarded. It is not wroth the miles on your car for the little pay and trouble. – less

Beware job applicants
applicant (Former Employee), Florida – April 14, 2013
Pros: dont know any
Cons: appears no one knows whats going on
I'm not an employee of this company. I am however someone with over 23 years experience in the type of work they do. My resume is golden and my reputation is outstanding. and any company would be glad to have me. Our great economy has however forced me into the first layoff in my career. I have put my application in with this company for over twenty – more... five jobs of which I'm more than qualified for and several would be below my desired wage level. I have passed all background checks and every time the recruiter send my name to a field rep for an interview I end up getting a generic email telling me that somebody has already offered the job to someone else. I am getting tired as anyone would with the run around with this company. They are hardly any full-time jobs and the part-time jobs appear to be next to nothing I have also been told that unless you live less than ten miles from a base you probably wont get on with this outfit. They preach togetherness and team work but appear to have no desire to allow anyone to have a career with them. Maybe its just me but I'd think long and hard before I go to a place that it takes an act of congress to get a job with. – less

Bobby1975 – May 1, 2013

Employers only expect prospective job seekers to apply once not 25 separate times. My guess is you have become a nuisance and for that reason the District Manager has decided against any chances of your future employment. Personally I think your grammar is extremely poor, if that was the grammar used on your resume ,I would not have hired you either.
