Easy job just a lot of mess
Merchandise Associate (Former Employee) - Germantown, MD - October 11, 2017
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedJob was fun and easy. Just have to travel long distance. Mamagers are lame and most of the time they do not have a clue what they are doing. Some times you will have altercations with other employees
Pros
Easy job
Cons
Managers

A great place to work if you enjoy retail support and want advancement opportunities!
SAS Programmer/Analyst (Current Employee) - Carlisle, PA - June 27, 2022
I had spent a large part of my career in the grocery field as a department manager in store and as a support vendor for a manufacturer. Through SAS, I got the chance to do what I've always wanted to be part of the support team at corporate level. I started as an analyst and have advanced to be a Planogram team Lead. I enjoy working with the Category Teams creating and executing their visions into functional and profitable Planograms.I enjoy working with my team and helping them to become better analysts. As they grow so do I and the better they are the easier it is for everyone.SAS has many opportunities for advancement if you apply yourself and show that is your desire.SAS has completive pay and benefits and is very generous with holiday and vacation/personal time.SAS has an open and inclusive culture. All are welcome and can advance.
Pros
Work flexibility and Vacation/Holidays
Cons
Healthcare is functional but could be improved.

unstable, felt lost without proper Management's help;
Reset Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Sacramento, CA - June 27, 2022
what can I say, I tried my hardest to push it out and stay positive about the job, but no real support from Management, and always felt out of the loop on simple tasks. I say choose your own judgment, who knows, maybe it isn't always like that. I can only be honest with my experience.

Loyalty gets you nowhere
Merchandiser (Current Employee) - United States - June 25, 2022
Been working here for a few years and noticed the company is in a steady decline. Added responsibilities from what was expected but without a pay increase. Decreased mileage compensation by half from previous years even though gas prices keep going up. No benefits other than flexible hours. Loyalty is not rewarded, instead the company focuses on new hires instead of keeping current employees happy. Severe lack of communication except with my trainer, who is amazing and the only reason I'm still working however I'm currently looking for a different job...I have zero motivation to show up anymore.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
No benefits, low pay, low mileage compensation, lack of communication, added tasks without compensation

Hostile, employee preference, management has family members working for him in various cities in Texas.
Reset Merchandiser (Former Employee) - San Antonio, TX - June 23, 2022
No room for advancement, very low compensation for using your vehicle, 1% yearly raises, even though you give 120% daily. Management covers each other's back, because they are related and company is aware, does nothing. Toxic, gossiping.
Pros
Great team lead.
Cons
Manager has no communication skills, .

Out of savings
Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Daphne, AL - June 23, 2022
Prepare to put your paychecks in your gas tank, toxic manager modifies your schedule without notice and gouges paychecks, drive over 4,000 miles a month on average. No, you won't have enough money to pay for that oil change, because you need to pay your phone bill in order to work this job, too.Great work environment, just you and your car. Everyday is different, and its exciting if you enjoy working with details and not have a boss watching you at all times. Wish it didn't suck.

2 years, still like it
Elite Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Winston-Salem, NC - June 23, 2022
I have been with SAS for 2 years. After being with them for only 2 months I was promoted to an area lead/ Elite Merchandiser. I overall think that (for FT roles) the generous vacation and paid holiday structure are enough to keep most people happy in this role. The actualy hourly rate of pay does leave a bit to be desired, but I promise you, you aren't going to make THAT* much more anywhere else for this same type of role, and the downside to that is that even if you do find a similar role paying $1-$2 more hourly, either you won't get your hours, or their vacation and paid holiday structure will be laughable compared to what SAS/Advantage offers. We get 2 weeks paid vacation, a week paid sick time, 3 8hour flex holidays, and we also get about 20 paid holidays per year (many of which are not even federally recognized holidays) off. Anywhere else, 1 week vacation, 3 flex days, NO sick time, and only 6 standard paid holidays. I would (and do) gladly take the $1ish less an hour than a comparable role elsewhere knowing that I have a lot better work life and financial balance with this company. At least I get all of my hours each week. Many companies cannot even provide that which to me is the absolute basics.

Planogram Analyst (Current Employee) - Carlisle, PA - June 23, 2022
I am a Planogram Analyst at SAS. It's such an encouraging environment to work in. My co-workers and management are so kind and helpful. I feel a sense of satisfaction in my job knowing that supports so many others in the company. It's a great place to work with many opportunities for advancement.

Pay
Team Member (Current Employee) - Carlisle, PA - June 22, 2022
The pay seems decent considering the skill level required. However, when you ask for a raise because you complete more tasks than your peers you get told nothing can be done about it. The leads don’t really do much to express the concerns to the supervisors and if they do they get told the same “nothing can be done.” I am currently looking for a new job and unless I’m paid more I’ll be leaving. It’s not a job for a grown adult, it’s best suited for kids that just graduated and need some extra money or people that are content with making minimum money and having food stamps and state insurance. Maybe provide a raise to employees that refuse to live off the government to provide the population incentive to not live off the taxpayers.

Loved my manager but couldn't stand my job
SAS Retail Merchandising (Former Employee) - New Jersey - June 21, 2022
My manager was very helpful but they kept adjusting how much you were reimbursed for gas, travel, and the stores you went to. I would not pay to have a job.

No money, no one appreciate you
Retail Service Representative (Current Employee) - Virginia - June 18, 2022
If you want to feel under appreciated and get no help and feel stressed then this is the place. They have no room for growth and if you get promoted you get only $1 raise for more stress.

Don't work here
Merchandiser (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - June 15, 2022
At first I thought this job was alright, flexible, nice people, and I got to work alone which is good for me. But they don't pay you. They pay for MAYBE half the time you work. They don't tell you that they'll only pay for when you're in the stores. No drive time. Which on MOST days, is half of your time. At least. If you want full time hours for part time pay, this is the job for you. But if you have bills, or value your time. This isn't it. This job actually ended up costing me money. It's a total scam.
Cons
It's a scam

Great Flexibility,
Merchandiser (Current Employee) - New Jersey - June 14, 2022
The only thing great about this company is the flexibility nothing else and I guess a measly pay check on pay day which counts for something I guess. There is no room for growth and development, I have been trying without success to get a promotion for the longest time to no avail, it seems as if promotion and advancement is for friends and connected people. No pay raise, but new employee are hired at higher pay rate. Inconsistent job functions. The benefit system is lacking and needs reform. Management is hard to contact and when you do get them via email, they take for ever to respond to you and usually the concern is not properly addressed.

Was nice when you could make your own schedule.
Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Oceanside, CA - June 14, 2022
Little to no work, fighting to pay as little as possible, absolute garbage management, and they send you merch kits that you can't fit in your car. This company is a long burning dumpster fire...

Nice to set schedule
Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Santa Barbara, CA - June 14, 2022
I really enjoyed working here. The pay was alright and you can set your own schedule. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming due to lack of training. Other than the training needing to be improved if recommend it

Could be a better work environment
Team Lead (Former Employee) - Burbank, IL - June 12, 2022
Honestly one of the most poorly managed companies out there. Communication throughout upper management is poor. You're expected to work until all planograms are completed (potentially 12-16 hour shifts depending on how large the sets are you could leave at 11pm and have to back at 6:30am with hardly any sleep depending on your commute) Overall I was nowhere near satisfied with this company. No raises. Insanely hard to move up past a lead position. Long work hours and work load for little compensation.
Pros
Okay insurance
Cons
No raises, long work hours, poor management

Flexible Schedule
Retail Reset Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Asheboro, NC - June 12, 2022
Great boss, horrible company! Asked for raise 6 months ago. Still no answer. Yet, they took away some work hours at end of year budget time. What’s wrong with that picture?
Pros
Flexibility of Schedule
Cons
No raises

Words cannot describe how terrible/miserable this company is
Territory Manager (Former Employee) - Every whereOpen - June 11, 2022
My rating says enough, I’m Putin an average of 75/80 hrs a week no relief in sight . If I need time off they are of no help, management prefers to sit on the butts making an effort to help but it’s okay for them to take their time off. I could write more, let’s just say this, if anyone approached you about SAS, run, I repeat, run as far away as possible!

hires third party people at higher pay, raises hard to come by, no full time
team member (Current Employee) - remote - June 9, 2022
job itself is good until you find out they are hiring people through third party companies at a rate higher than your time and a half pay. Management sometimes seems unknowledgeable and lost
Pros
convienant work days
Cons
pay, benefits
