Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Advantage Solutions full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Flexibility of working from home and in field, get to make your own schedule with no micro management or discrepancies on where to go unless something major in your Region. Easy systems to use. Several great resources on ASMConnects. Good rapport/relationships with District Managers who work below you. Good insurance benefits. Car allowance, gas card, cell phone allowance ($50), expenses reimbursed for travel, laptop, and hot spot.
Cons
Work/life balance is not there. Tues/Wed are supposed to be off days, be prepared to work every single day. Since management is salaried, they stick to their namesake and take Advantage. Regions are way too big and not enough time in the day to get all the work done or spent the quality time needed in each District. Recruiting department is not good, recruiting ultimately falls on management, TA just talks in circles and puts the blame on management. Hanging flyers is not a good source of grassroots recruiting and neither is job fairs at unemployment offices. No recognition for good/hard work from upper management. Raises are basically non-existent, employees make far below industry standards unless you are a Director or above and even some Directors are underpaid. Good insurance benefits, but, premiums are extremely expensive. Funny that Tanya Domier is a woman and women in business is a topic of conversation, however, most upper management on the EED team is male. It's a man's world and they slide in just enough women to make it look like they are not biased.
Advice to Management
Senior management is too far from the business. Very unrealistic expectations because they sit behind a desk and don't realize what is really going on in the field. You cannot judge someone by what a report shows, get out in to the field, get to know your mid and 1st level managers. Care about your long term employees. You have a Chief People Officer now, yet, someone who works for the company for years still gets laid off, you are a big company, there are jobs in other departments/divisions. Stop giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary and sign on bonuses to upper management, know that your employees can see the salaries of others to know what they are being paid in iCIMS and $100,000 and $200,000 sign on bonuses and salaries when your other managers are paid so low is very discouraging. Consider giving raises to District and Regional managers if you want to keep these good people, the economy is in a good place and you are going to lose good people, the only reason people stay is work from home which they think they cannot find elsewhere. Also, the Event Specialist salary is pitiful, ever hear you get what you pay for? If I was any client and saw what happens in these stores with demos (the quality person, the people who don't show, etc), I would not be happy.

Pros
I love the support, training and tools the company gives for me to do my job! I love the fact it is semi independent and have to problem solve to get the job done!
Cons
Only cons are I would like to work week through and more hours, but the hours are concentrated to the weekends and not enough hours are available to work weekdays.
Advice to Management
Help employees find merchandising gigs during the week or help up career ladder to work full-time at one company.

Pros
Awesome coworkers.
Executive management does care about the organization and employees.
Quarter my bonus.
Birthdays and anniversaries.
Always new programs.Cons
Making a 100 calls does not mean anything if the quality of sourcing does not meet with client's expectations.
Recruiters are judged on the same number of hires while programs are more challenging than others. Some recruiters are given hiring authority which makes them look outstanding compared to other recruiters who don't. Recruiters should be treated more equally.
Recruiting tools are very limited due to budget which may impact quality of hires and client satisfaction.Advice to Management
Keep on improving culture.
Be fair.
Recruit and promote based on performance not friendships .
Make it easier to get salary increase.
Introduce role play in training as well as staff development
Train marketing teams better on what hiring managers are looking for. Include employment marketing in recruiting updates.Advantage Solutions 2017-09-18 19:18 PDT![Advantage Solutions Logo]()

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Advantage Solutions part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Worked as a brand ambassador.
Consistent hours, not a retail schedule. You choose ahead of time and your manager can add or remove events. This job is super flexible which is important for me as a student.
Every manager I've worked with seemed enthusiastic about the program, which is contagious.
Work independently. You're pretty much trusted to do a good job. Management is willing to offer advice if needed.
Pay's good for a part time job.Cons
Program changes standards frequently and it can be difficult to assess how you are performing.
A little confusing if you need to take time off or contact HR since you only really interact with your manager. For example I needed my salary sent to my student loan servicer but wasn't sure where to get that document, so I got bounced around a while first.
Sometimes supplies for events don't come in a timely manner, which can make your job harder.
The JET system only works on Internet Explorer or the mobile app.Advice to Management
Make sure all employees have easy access to work-related documents for tax purposes. This should be part of the online orientation.
Please update JET so it works on Firefox and Chrome at least.Advantage Solutions 2017-09-16 07:16 PDT![Advantage Solutions Logo]()

Pros
You are exposed to new products everyday. It's not a completely redundant job. If you like interacting with customers this is a great job.
Cons
You can have a lot of down time. If you're not a people person or shy this might not be the best job. You have to memorize selling points.
