Pros

1. It was definitely a great perk being able to create our own schedules to some extent; 2. Working independently was great; Having several stores to go to and a variety of tasks made the job more interesting and fun, and you learn a lot.

Cons

1. Very difficult to complete tasks in the time allotted - you work a lot of hours for free. They tell you to stop and checkout at the end of time, however the app doesn't allow you to checkout. 2. Management was extremely lacking on management, leadership, and especially people skills. We never heard from heard. If we had a question, the answer was always "do the best you can". 3. Like I said, zero communication. When I first started I was apparently working my position, and covering another without knowing. I was very stressful and chaotic, although I chalked in up to just being new. Not so, It was from working two positions. When another person was hired 3 months later I all of a sudden lost a lot of hours. That's when I realized I was being used, and yes, I say used! If she would have explained to me when I started what the situation was, I would have had no problem, but when you put a brand new person in this situation and they are struggling, it would be a nice decision on the managers part to communicate the situation and reassure me that I am not going crazy.

Pros

I have an amazing supervisor

Cons

Jobs assigned to you are 100% your responsibility. Only part-time without benefits but I get assigned about 40 hrs a week. You get assigned an overwhelming amount of tasks that most often cannot be completed in time and you get penalized then. No raises ever. Constant driving, sometimes up to over a hour away, which you do not get reimbursed for the commute to your 1st store unless its over 60 miles away. Get reimbursed for only 1/3 per gallon if gas, which is much, much lower than the IRS issued rate. You don't automatically get paid for the time of driving between stores unless you explicity specify it in your time sheet; something they don't tell you either. I have an amazing supervisor, but my area is understaffed and the turnover rate is high. I cover 2 zones within my area. I frequently work 10-12 hr days, Monday to Saturday, for only $14 per hr. Workers who worked for Premium before the merge between Crossmark to Premium get paid much more, but the Reps who came from Crossmark did not get a raise to meet that level.
