This job is very tricky when it comes to certain benefits included in the job. It’s good pay but honestly not the best job to have long term. You don’t get paid your travel stipend right away. There’s no clear communication of job security. Coworkers are ugly to you if you’re slow. It can be a shady toxic work place. Can be cut throat. You’re not put into the best hotels. The living condition of the rooms are very minimal. Mold, Wet Walls, Stains, Dirty Sheets, No Housekeeping & Smelly Rooms. They make it seem like you’re cared for but really you aren’t. You don’t get paid for travel time locally (1 hour from San Antonio)…which can be tricky if the destination is not that far even for travel weeks. You only work 3 days a week & it’s considered part time. Impression of full time work but really not the best if you’re wanting full time work. & you have to leave your car in the parking lot if you’re your only source of transportation. So that’s not the best when it comes to travel weeks. They do offer transportation to the Walmart locations but honestly that can be tricky as well. The vans can get very crowded & you’re kind of out of luck if you don’t have your own lunch. Sometimes it can only be Walmart food if there’s no other restaurant inside or outside the area. You only get about a good 50 mins for your lunch break. Mind you there can be a lot of walking in between. They’re very strict with bathroom breaks. You will be picked on or watched and timed if you take too long. Even with any stomach or health problems. I guess I’m learning it’s just with any job but you will be bullied if you get off of the wrong foot with people in the start. It’s really not a job for everyone even if you try your best. If you can’t keep up, they will let you go & they don’t let you know till the last minute that you’re being cut off. You’ll be lucky if you even make it to an evaluation. You gotta look out for yourself & keep up your own weight. They hire as process of elimination. 

What an absolute joke of a company. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!! They basically have you constantly driving to go count cars at dealers, there is no office your car is your office..pay is horrible, management is terrible, zero growth, high turnover, terrible training. There is a reason the only ones that have been around for a while are old retired people looking for a job. The pay is not livable, youre gone all the time, outside in every weather conditions, management is MIA until youre in trouble, 100% zero vertical growth. Im telling you now youre wasting your time if you take this terrible job.

Company really cares about its employees as people with in office healthcare (company nurse practitioner); Healthy lifestyles like yoga encouraged. Company cares about the environment with recycling program and solar panels. 10+ anniversaries celebrate in style not seen in other companies. Windfalls to parent company shared throughout. 

Continuous training and secession planning could using improvement.

Conflicting reports about rules and pay from the beginning.  Any issues and they’ll refer to their recruitment agency.  In spite of  inconsistencies it could be an easy gig. But culture of “supervisors pushing” you to scan faster while they watch and threaten hours based on scans is pretty disheartening.  A lot of turn around. Could be a good company if they hired managers who can get the numbers they need without the constant stress and annoyances

The job is easy, though not so on your body and mind. From being micromanaged, to the pay changing 3-4 times a day. No way to bring your lunch, spending 2-3 hours a day riding to and from stores. This company doesn't tell you the truth while hiring. Part time hours advertised as full time. No wonder you can't keep staffing, maybe if you took care of your employees then they would take care of your company.

I started 4/2018 and have enjoyed it overall. There can be travel, which some like and others don't. They provide the training, support and materials you need for success. 

The only concern is the pay. They do give a nice bonus in December, but the problem with this is a bonus ISN'T guaranteed. In 2020 my bonus was 1/3 what I normally receive. If my hourly wage was hire, I wouldn't have to worry about the bonus.


Too many hours, poor supervisor, favor employees, upper management only care about numbers and not employees. home balance life do not exits. supervisor has no training and still think of only himself or the employees that worked with them in other company before merger. Long hours low pay and schedule changes as you are driving to an appointment. Sometime 3 hours away.

Excellent culture with awesome people, casual dress, flexible hours. Aggressive work environment where you never get bored; always learning something new or training others. Lots of opportunities to volunteer and serve the community, which were my most enjoyable times at DataScan.

Its an excellent place to work with . The management and the teams work with tandem and provide zero down time services with IT Manager , Jim Reed, being the epitome of spirited work and coordinated and cooperative zealot of work culture. It was simply excellent

Didn't work for company very long.  The time that I did work for them I traveled all over the Northwest, mostly driving and having to use my own vehicle for transportation.  Had to work outside mostly and in all types of weather.
