Review: Advantage Sales and Marketing

This is the 4th company that I have had the privilege of working for. It is a mixed one. They are a huge company and the training is very extensive. Their system is quite poor. I am not finished with training in my second month now with the company. There are videos, slides, and in slide quizzes. The final quiz must be passed with a 100% score. You can take them as many times as you want though. Their electronics shop is very extensive. I am 5 hours in and still not done with it. The videos are complex and long. The quizzes are quite hard. I have had 2 instances with bad links sent. Also their system was down for a while. I was promised a good range of work 20 plus hours and mainly on the weekend. I have since found 2 jobs both on a Tuesday. One was for 8 hours the other for 2. Pay varies slightly depending on the project. All the ones I have worked were more than $10 an hour. I think both of mine were actually $10.50 an hour.

First was setting up a potato chip end cap that was metal and a permanent part of a local pharmacy chain store. It was listed as 2 hours. It took me and my helper 3 hours. Some of the pieces would not fit as the metal was not holed accurately and it did not include bolts which were needed. I was paid for all 3 hours. The second was a large box retailer reset for Hallmark. It was some interesting hours. 7:45 pm to 3:45 am. No problems with pay time. Its bimonthly.

Reporting time is easy and the pay is good. My extensive training will be all paid for. You are able to add not only drive time but administrative time to your pay. Administrative is to cover the cost of reviewing paper work and time spent doing related job tasks.

Job postings are searchable by city and state. [www.asmnet.com]

I would assume that work will pick up soon as the holidays approach and they work with quite literally every national chain that I know.

Thanks for sharing. I just signed up with them as well and have found that they are very disorganized. I received several e-mails which had to be recalled. The training site looks awfully difficult and I was promised work in October. When I called, I was told that the projects started in November.

It looks like they could not get the Hallmark card stuff done all on one day so they are including 2 more days that it can be done on. More work for me grinning smiley

Because this is the big company, they have people in the office to help you with your training. If you have been hired by ASM, you have a supervisor and you need to contact that person to help you with your training. The training is simple and should not prevent you from working.
I got a call from them for a new project last year,first time I've ever been put up in a hotel for training. That was great,was there not even a year then things started to fall apart unfort. I wasn't given the correct tools when needed and job performance started to slow,then it just started on a downslope to where they were telling me I wasn't keeping up with quotas so was eventually let go...not just from the project,but banned from the company for life! Well they say ineligible for rehire but jeez.
