Pros

Literally nothing but I have to use 5 words so I am still typing.

Cons

They don’t pay you for your jobs. No training AT ALL. Management is useless and know less about it than you walking in the door. Promised mileage. Never got. Went 4 WEEKS without a paycheck and quit and had to get my attorney involved to get payment. He had to legitimately send them a formal letter giving them a deadline to pay me or we would sue for much more. That’s how I finally got paid after a month.

Pros

Flexibility. Flexibility. Flexibility. Flexibility. Flexibility.

Cons

No open communication between merchandisers and management. Management has no answers for you when you have questions about your job. No pay raise after a year. No promotions at all. You never feel appreciated.
