CERTIFIED: $7.50 for a standee installation LOL

Are they really serious paying $7.50 for a difficult standee installation and they want digital pics too???

I never, ever do standees, but to pay this disgusting low wage for such involved work is really for shame...I read that prior to Certified, other companies years back were paying several hundred dollars for standee installations.

That is crazy! I have never done a standee installation either, but I did work in a video rental store as a teen and I put together more than my share of those things. $7.50 is ridiculous for the amount of work involved.
Certified must really have lowered their pays. I did a couple a few years and was paid over $100 for the two. Even that pay was inadequate in my eyes for the amount of work involved. If memory serves I think it took two people about ten hours to erect them.
I have received payment of $7.50 if the standee was already put together and placed. Otherwise if you do the work $15 is the typical payment. I have done alot of these. You have to read or open the pages of the assignment to see the breakdown of the payment.
I have old assignments on my search list for installations and other types of assignments. One is almost 2 years old! I have requested them to be removed at least 3 times. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to get them removed?

i've yet to do one bc my bf would murder me over a massive workload for 7.50 even just to see what it's like. lolol.
They only pay $7.50 if the standee is put together already. I have been doing standees for many theaters over the past year and a half. Most of the time they are simple to put together and pay $10.00 for about 15 minutes of time. They never really assign the complicated ones. You have to work for Deluxe Display to get those. They pay much better but each company handles different movie studios. If you get good at it and get a lot of them to do you can make a lot in a short time frame. Look into Deluxe Display if you really want to do this type of work. I really enjoy it.
I'm glad I know where else to look for these. Certified/Market Force always seemed to want to pay a ridiculously low amount for a lot of those jobs.
Certified used to have some decent assignments and pay until they got bought by Marketforce. That was a sad day.....
They lowered the pay again. $7.00 if it's already done, $12 to install a moderately difficult that they said takes an hour. I take them all because my daughter who is in high school comes with and helps. She gets all the money.
My family owned a video store for years when I was younger. I wouldn't even go to the theater to take a pic for $7.00 never mind putting up product... Yikes!

O.o o.O

Happily shopping New England and beyond!!!!!

Hello, I love setting up standees, but Deluxe Displays changed companies and didn't pick some of us up. Cant get a hold of anyone. Any more standee companies out there? I they paid well and on time, I also work for Marketforce I have for years and I kinda set my own price doing their standees.
