Is that RMSI?

RMS is Retail Merchandising Services.

yea, incorporated.

Wondering because they're hiring in my area.
But, they have 100 cut-ins in a 5.7 hour shift.
If you did 100 cut-ins in a 10 hour shift that would be one cut-in every 6 minutes, if my calculations are correct.

That's not possible, right!?
Along with the intermittent employment, I was afraid to say yes.
But now I'm afraid I made a mistake.

Couldn't find anyone that works for them to ask if they could accomplish that goal.

Not necessarily. I've done 35 cut-ins in under 90 minutes. It was all 2 or 3 facings down to 1, pop the new item in, slide the price over, add the new price. It was a vitamin reset and by the 3rd one I was down to an hour 10 min. But , the labels were in all in order, and the products all followed a certain brand, so that made it much easier than usual. Hair care can be just as easy. Cosmetic dept, not so easy. Do you know what dept the work is in? Or store?

In Albertson's, similar to Safeway or Publix.
All over the store, grocery, general merchandise, freezer, dairy; everywhere!

That could be every minute of 5+ hours! Dairy can be easy if it is yogurt. GM can be move hooks and 10 things to make 1 space. I HATE freezer work. There is never extra space! I had my worst day ever on a freezer reset. I don't do freezer work since that day at a Jewel store. If they will pay for your time if you go over, it may be worth it though.
RMS never has work like this, (yet!) thank heavens. Although I am doing window covering displays this week. 300+ pieces in each of my stores to hang. Long days this week! Last year it took 8 hours per store due to the stores already having messed up the displays.
Good luck if you choose to accept this serious challenge.

Yep, RMS rep here too.

I just did that window display last week ... ugh. Not hard, just ridiculously time consuming. It also took me 8 hrs though the estimated time was 3-5 . In what universe would that happen? They sent hundreds of display panels in no order whatsoever then said " they might not all be on your plano - so scan them to see if they are or are not". That is the first time I have been given a job with a plano then told well ... figure out what is really on it. How messed up is that ?
If they had sent the items that went on my displays I would have been out of there in the predicted 3 hours.
Between that and all the cosmetic resets for other companies, these have been some long weeks.

That said - usually RMS work is quite easy and they give you very good documentation. They are one of my favorites.

I highly recommend them.

I still have one to go. The store lost 2 of the rods! I'm waiting for the new ones to come in. It's my "interesting store". I go there wondering what will they have screwed up this time. My 1st one used every one of the panels. The display lead even came over and helped for an hour. I was there 7 hours even with her help. I couldn't use a RF gun as they have no extras working. Ever.

How are you loving the gift card reset? Going back today for part 2. This is my good store and I've tossed over 300 discontinued cards and moved a couple hundred to their correct locations already. After 5 hours I was going blind.
