Pros
If you like long hours and not having much time for yourself and family this job is great for you.. The pay and benefits are good.
Cons
As a Merchandiser You can get anywhere around 4 to 6 stores a day. if a manager at one of them stores calls your manager and now they want a display put up or something special after you finished packing out and already left, now your supervisor calls u and you have to go back Either at the end of your 12+ hour day or between stores. Anywhere from 6 to 10+ Chiefs in one day at each account <Store managers, receiver, department managers, your supervisor, territory manager and sales rep> for that route and your the lone Indian. if anyone on a different route is falling behind on their progression through stores, Your manager could possibly call you and have you pick up one of their 4 stores after you already done 4 or 5 yourself.If something was not done well at any of your stores buy a sales representative the previous day< example: Poorly filled the coolers, not filled the display properly or aisle, Water 24 packs, Lifewater section ect..> and you get 5 to 10 pallets at the bigger store that day you can be in there for 4 to 5 hours, specially on weekends and if you don't have anyone picking up any of your stores, 5 hours at one, 5 more stops left minimum 1 hour at them, your starting at a base time of 10 hours already.. better hope nothing goes wrong at all the stores..
