Don’t tell people that they have the freedom to choose their schedule when they dont

Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 9 October 2018

When I was interviewed they mentioned that I would be able to choose my own schedule then they gave me solid strict schedule. It was a complete lie and waste of time. If I’m not in my store by 9/10 on the days they want me there. I get spammed with phone calls and threats that they are looking for my replacement.

Pros

Decent pay, the supervisors at bmi are friendly

Cons

Terrible hours/scheduling, Horrible supervisors at your work location, They treat you differently because you don’t work for them and are a hired from a different company

Independent Contractor Position but legally should be considered employees

Retail Merchandiser (Former Employee) – GTA – 21 September 2018

Hired as a independent contractor but am told when to be in stores and have to clock in and out.
No control over orders as management places them for you without knowledge and you take the flack from store managers.
No benefits, no employment security or employee protection standards.
Day starts at 7am Monday Wednesday and Friday with 15 hours allocated per week. Don't be surprised when managers are calling you outside of these hours and expecting you to drop everything and respond to there demands.

Pros

I thought it was a independent role

Cons

Turned out to be a employee role with none of the benefits

Worst company to work for. You’ve been warned.

Employee (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 6 July 2018

This company is the most unprofessional and unethical. They do not care about you. All they care is the bottom line. They hide behind a policy of “goodness” but are hateful and discriminatory. They will also not pay you after you’ve work for them. This company is a disgrace to the industry. Many people have filed complaints against them. Management has no idea what they are doing. There’s a reason you always see the same positions being posted, because they cannot keep employees.

Pros

None

Cons

Poor management, do not pay, unethical.

Always available

Sales - Merchandiser (Current Employee) – GTA, ON – 4 June 2018

Field work has challenges, more so now with WM's. Finding the solution is significantly important.
Not to panic, go with the stride when you have no choice. EG. Renovations in a store.
Management is usually very approachable.
The challenge today which is also frustration is when the stock is in the backrm, but unable to get if out on the floor.
The best part of the job is being successful getting displays up by removing the competition, love it...

Team of passionate sales, marketing and retail professionals

Managing Director, Retail Solutions (Current Employee) – 2595 Skymark Avenue, Mississauga, ON – 12 January 2018

I've been fortunate to have been working on Brand Momentum for more than 3 years in various roles.

I came to the company based on the strength, character and experience of the partners and executives and have learned a great deal. My game has been elevated with coaching and ongoing mentorship.

I am proud to say that Brand Momentum provides market leading career opportunities. I have had 4 different roles within the company starting as Business Development and progressing to my current role as Managing Director, Retail Solutions.

A great company guided by our culture of GOODNESS, you can expect to be treated fairly, work in an environment that respects people, and a company that stands behind their promises.

I personally love the people at Brand Momentum, we have high standards and we work hard and take great pride in all we do. I really enjoy collaborating with our office and field teams across the country to deliver for our clients.

Pros

Company Meetings, Team Activities + Experiences, Company culture, progressive opportunities for growth

Worst company to work for as a Brand Ambassador

Brand Ambassador (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 19 December 2016

This is by far the worst company I have had the displeasure to work for. The management team (or some of them at least) are extremely unorganized and fail to communicate properly with their team.

First issue, after already showing up to the scheduled location with all my marketing material (all very heavy boxes) the manager told me after the shift started (almost 20mins into the shift) that he "forgot to mention" to us the client requested the activation to be done at another location. And since all the marketing material was sent to our homes we had to move everything back and forth due to his lack of communication.

Second issue, I had to (and still am) chasing down my paycheque from them and have had to deal with multiple different people who keep giving me the run around about why I haven't received my payment yet. Their favourite line is telling you to wait another couple of days for it to come and will not actually direct you to a supervisor unless you are very, very persistent. Until now I have still not received this paycheque that was apparently mailed out to me two weeks ago and although I provided them with my direct deposit form a month in advance, I am told different stories from different people from the management team as to what happened with it (in one version they never got it, in another version the document file was corrupt).

They do not offer email transfer and have a very unreliable mail and direct deposit system. They are very comfortable with having you as an employee wait over a week for your paycheque and will offer you no solutions unless more... you tell them you will escalate it further.

Overall, I am warning you Brand Momentum is the worst company I have ever worked for and I encourage you to find another more reliable company even if it's just for a short-term contract. You will definitely regret working for these people!! less

Pros

Decent pay (if you ever receive it)

Cons

Late payments (and will not bother to help you figure out the reasoning behind it, you'll need to chase them down daily to find out), Highly unorganized, serious lack of communication, lack of respect for brand ambassadors time and hard work
