Don't expect a raise... Ever.
Field Merchandiser (Current Employee) – California – December 22, 2018
I've been with RMS for three years and still make the same amount of 12.00 an hour. But with that, if the project is allotted at 45 minutes... I make 9.00 an hour. They offer bonuses quarterly, but if you receive just one email questioning your work...no bonus. I put explanations in the comment section, but no one reads them.
The company holds onto contracts with companies because they bid low just to get the work. The work usually takes longer, so more work and less pay. We used to work more with doing L'Oreal in Wal-Mart, but Wal-Mart kick RMS out at the first of the year, with Anderson Merchandising getting the L'Oreal contract. So now we only have Target, which isn't enough.
A lot of merchandisers come and go, yet they keep you at two stores. And even if you have a store, there may be another RMS merchandiser also working projects in that store. Very poor utilization of employees. Begging for stores doesn't work , as they want you to be "available" for covering stores at the last minute. This is usually due to a merchandiser quitting.

Great Company - Flexible Hours - Great Management
Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Illinois – September 27, 2018
This is such a wonderful company to work for. I worked as a merchandiser and you set your own schedule from Monday thru Friday. I merchandised at Target and Walmart both were really good to work with. If you had a question on any project you just had to call the help line. I loved working there and hope to go back.
Pros
Set Your Own Hours
Cons
Copy a Lot of Stuff on Your Own Time
Hard working

Very productive and calm place to work
Kohl's Seasonal Sales Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Sonora, CA – September 23, 2018
Usually a typical day at work was very productive and calm. My experience while working at Kohl's was very useful. I learned how to work well with customers, and be more outgoing. The management at work was very helpful when needing assistance. The hardest part of the job was keeping a good attitude even when feeling stressed out which I believe I handled very well. If I were to give the most enjoyable part of my job it would be assisting and greeting with customers.
Pros
Great Instructions Everyday
Retail

Make sure customers are satisfied with service..always have a smile and be very polite and helpful towards the customer's..family Dallors is a company that didn't give me enough hours to take care my family financially..
Fun work place.
Just Sports (Former Employee) – Tucson, AZ – August 20, 2018
Really enjoyed helping others on the floor locate the items they are looking for. You get to talk and share different ideas with others. Always have to be polite and greet others when they walk into your store.
Okey place to work.
Merchandise Associate (Current Employee) – Riverside, CA – July 5, 2018
I like it has late work hours. I decline to give a review of this work place. I disagree with being asked to do so. I don’t want to. It feels very negative and not fair
Pros
Nice team
Cons
None

Work independently
Retail Merchandiser (Part-Time) (Current Employee) – Brooklyn Park, MN – May 10, 2018
Fair, work your own choice of hours, challenging at times. You are performing a valuable service that helps Target improve sales. There is no direct boss. I enjoy working with various managers on a collaborative basis.
Pros
above
Cons
repetitive assignments
Not worth the headache
Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Oklahoma – April 20, 2018
Work is hit or miss. Lost the contract with Walmart, leaving less work/hours. When you have questions, call, sometimes you will get an answer.. sometimes not. Pay isn't bad. People reviewing your pictures can be very picky. I think they forget, the stores will do what they want and the rep has to be the middle man.
Pros
Flexibility
Cons
No hours, picky pic people, not sure who is your manager
