Tremendous opportunity to learn and work beside brilliany industry folks
Category Business Manager (Former Employee) – Stamford, CT – December 3, 2018
My time with Daymon was my most rewarding learning experience ever.
The company's business model and approach to its customers were top notch. I started a new business group with the autonomy to build the sector with ongoing support and guidance from of the smartest folks in the consumer products industry.
I traveled extensively, sourcing products worldwide as well as spending time onsite with our customers, learning about their business and how they merchandised products and approached their clients.
My son was born in 2001. My extensive traveling was taking me away from precious moments, so I found a position that kept me closer to home.

Product Demonstrator (Current Employee) – Cumming, GA – October 31, 2018
Set up and demonstrate food products. Break down at end of day/clean up
Enjoyable position demonstrating/cooking/serving food samples to customers.
Have achieved top seller with high sales
Hardest part of job is preparing the food as it could be with oven/microwave.
Most enjoyable is giving out the food samples to customers and pleasing their appetite as communicating and socializing with them.

A decent company until it's recent acquisition
Senior Global Benefits Analyst (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – October 17, 2018
In January of 2018, Daymon was purchased by one of its competitors. The result was horrendous. Benefits were slashed, employees were laid off, and existing associates have little-to-no say in operations or leadership. I only hope that management can turn around the company and raise morale for the benefit of those who stayed.
Daymon was a great company to work for until they outsourced our jobs.
Account Receivable Specialist (Former Employee) – Hutchinson, KS – September 28, 2018
Daymon was a great company, they had excellent wages and benefits. They were also very flexible with time off. They offered many new jobs in Hutchinson when they came to town.
Pros
Benefits and flexibility
Cons
Home office in Connecticut
Used to be MUCH better before Advantage Solutions aquired them
Senior Finance Manager (Former Employee) – Stamford, CT – September 21, 2018
Advantage Solutions acquired Daymon in Dec 2017. It's no longer the same company. Mass layoffs, benefit reductions and low moral is the current state of the company. It's a shame, it used to be an amazing place to work.
Pros
Used to be many, but no longer the case.
Cons
Horrible benefits and Management is not transparent, especially with bad news.
Varies from account to account but great company
Senior Business Manager (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – September 11, 2018
A bit of a roll of the dice depending on which client you are working with. Generally management is on your side to make difficult client relationships as manageable as possible. Great culture driving the day to day. Just not much you can do when the people on the client side are very rude/grumpy/entitled.
It was a fun place to work
Wegmans Brand Ambassador (Former Employee) – Rochester, NY – September 6, 2018
This was an executive exchange program. I partnered with Daymon to support their account with Wegmans. I celebrated Wegmans brand products with Wegmans employees.
Pros
Free product samples
Blah all around
Merchandising Team Lead (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – August 26, 2018

*Job security.
*Always work if you dont mind traveling up to an hour and thirty minutes from home.

*No pay increases
*No performance review

Pros
being busy
Cons
when we would be out of product
nice place to work
Product Demonstrator (Current Employee) – United States – August 14, 2018
I think this is a nice place to work for as a part-time job. I have been working with the company for 3.5 years. The company merged with ASM. I am not sure how this will go, but hopefully, everything will remain positive in the future.
Pros
Good Pay
Cons
Merger
Don’t do it
Retail Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Arkansas – July 17, 2018
Just merged with ASM and it’s a cluster. Very little pay for a hard job. Asked to take on the largest retailer in the world for pennies. All you are is a #.
Pros
Boss doesn’t live here
Cons
Tons
Hours doing repetitive demos
Sales and Product Representative (Current Employee) – Milford, CT – July 11, 2018
Daily duties require setting up a demo station and serving and answering customers questions about the product assigned me.
My learning curve has been seeing the physical workings of a large food ware house.
Work place culture is cooperative and supportive.
The one thing that would make the job so much more supportive and assist me on my focus of the customers is a chair or stool.
Being able to sample a variety of different food groups is definitely the best part of the work duties.

Autonomous environment
Sales Rep (Former Employee) – Western NY, N Western PA – July 11, 2018
Called on retail locations and provided support for private label goods to be merchandised and/or supported in their locations.
Customers were very accommodating, supportive, and involved in their businesses.
Nice everyday working conditions and tools provided were more than adequate to get the job done.

Computer work, filing, helping Supervisor, doing invoices
AR Accounting Assistant (Former Employee) – Hutchinson, KS – June 21, 2018
I mostly did computer work, typed invoices, and made new invoices, helped Supervisor and some other co-workers, filed, answered phone, pretty relaxed "culture", worked with you and taught you what was needed, as needed. Hardest part for me was when I had to be on my feet for long periods of time, and most enjoyable was working on the computer. This was just a temporary job (OR i MAY HAVE GOTTEN MORE BENEFITS), and had to quit when we moved out of the area.
Pros
Mostly friendly and helpful.
Cons
Long periods of standing (which was hard on me).
Great if you are retired and need additional income
Consumer demonstrator (Former Employee) – Mesa, AZ – June 20, 2018
I loved interacting with the customers. Not much room for advancement or control over your work schedule. Not many benefit sand when offered pretty expensive. I did like the working environment.
Pros
Working with the public
Cons
No benefits
Terrible Upper Management; Only looks to take advantage of you
Business Data Analyst (Current Employee) – Stamford, CT – June 20, 2018
Do not work here if you:
Are talented
Want to be treated like a human being
Are ambitious
Do work here if you:
Want to skate by on the bare minimum
