Advantage Sales and Marketing Employer Reviews

I am a merchandiser in a big box store. Currently I represent around 30 clients and I'm responsible for all their items on the shelf, between 8000-10,000. The hardest part of this job is striking a balance between what the clients I represent want and what the big box store wants or will give me permission to do. The most enjoyable part of this job – more... is the variety, I am not in the same store on a daily basis. – less

Saw alot and met alot of really nice people. Enjoyed working with the group of people that were more like family than co workers.

company is a good company to work for, except how you do your job (need to follow exact steps), pay is good, only thing and they went back to doing this- trying to get you to work off the clock. never do that again

Flexible hours, and scheduling. It seems as if as long as you got all of your stores done that was on the schedule that was fine. Since I was in school at the same time, this really helped me manage my time. My supervisor was great. She took time to come and work with me and show me how things were done. I picked up on it fast, so from then on we communicated – more... through the PDA or cell. Everyone was great to help if I needed it. – less

The job varied from time to time, and I was able to complete the jobs,while attending school.

SJVH was great to work at. You meet many people and it makes you better as a person. the work is rewarding and you love what you do. if only there were more opportunities to improve and excel. that is the only thing i can find that i didnt like. everything else was amazing.

I enjoyed working for Advantage other than the fact that I was never payed on time, or the right day for that matter.

This is a great companyu that provides flexable working hours for the most part. I am on a traveling team so balance between work and home life is hard to manage.

Very Flexible...and most importantly the employees there will become your family members

A typical day consists of re-setting merchandise to new planograms working independently or with others. I've learned to try to maintain a balance between fellow workers to work effectively. As for management it doesn't really come into play as I have a team leader that works for another company. My supervisor's position isn't work site related but – more... he's there when we need him. My co-workers are from two additional companies & are mostly older & primarily Spanish speakers so it's presented a bit of a challenge. The hardest part of the job has been having a supervisor from another company as they & I have different approaches to work. The most enjoyable part of my job has been working with a diverse group of people as well as the work hours as it leaves me with time during the day to do other things. – less

I really enjoy going into all of my stores and talking with the Managers and Staff that work at each one. I enjoy the work as well as getting to talk with the customer while they are shopping.

Travel to stores up to 2 hrs away. Spent most of my time working with dept managers in various Wal Marts.
Contact with manegement via email or phone..very little face to face contact with people.

During a day at work.....I would drive from store to store, selling the product, selling displays, adding all the p.o.s that i could talk them into, (it was so easy i enjoyed it)

ASM is a wonderful company to work for. They are flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate home life with work. A typical day consists of cleaning and setting up our sample cart, preparing food or product in the kitchen, and setting up on the sales floor. After set up is complete we proceed with providing customers with samples, sometimes – more... cooking, and informing Members on our product. We have sales goals to meet on a daily basis and we have fun while attempting to achieve those goals! – less

never dull moment. always doing something new looks forward to going to work

The best job to learn new products and meet new people. Managed budget by purchasing products and cooking foods or promoting products through demonstration. My co-workers were doing the same and helped me learn even more products while doing so. I loved working with the public and teaching customers about the new and not-so-new products.

The company over all is a solid place to work. I would only suggest that when you interview you make sure the terms with which you accept the position are in writing so as not to cause problems later on. There seems to miscommunications when it comes to what was said during the interviewing process and what actually will occur after you accept and begin – more... employment.

I would also make sure you review all online employer provided training and not simply depend on the on-the-job training because the person that trains you may not be following proper standards. – less

I am a product demonstrator so I am not sure what the company is like beyond my job. When I have called for assistance I was please with the results.

Decent place to work. My boss was great. The standing all day was not the most fun thing in the world.
