Pros
They offer a higher hourly rate for the amount of work involved. The pay is slightly lower than a merchandising position. They also offer various benefit packages which you have to pay, but at a discounted rate. Although for lower level employees the benefits aren't great, but for a part time position it's a bonus. There's no incentive to sell the products. They claim the percentage sold is job security, but there's no bonus if one item is sold or a million items are sold. The pay is still the same.
Cons
There is a lot of policy which doesn't make a whole of of sense that has to be followed strictly. In addition the vendors pay the stores, in this case Sam's Club, to do the events so it's not a controlled schedule. There could be a week where no hours can be scheduled because there are simply no events. Crossmark and Sam's Club over-staff Event Specialists for extremely busy weekends so hours are occasionally scarce.
