Merchandising Services Company

MSCO is the perfect environment for individuals that are looking for a company that is family-oriented and promotes people that work diligently on each company project. From the time that I have been hired, I have enjoyed every single moment of working with each employee of the company, and the best part is that I had the opportunity to travel throughout the majority of the United States of America to work in different cities and experience each cities culture. This company is excellent when you are a full time student as I have had the opportunity to obtain my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree while working and traveling. Upper management understands about the importance of education and encourages the employees to go the distance with his or her education dreams. 
 The best part about this company is the family atmosphere. When my uncle passed away in the middle of 2018, the company allowed me time off to be with my parents and had a floral arrangement sent to my mother who appreciated the kind gesture. Most companies do not take the time to do this and it was really special. In all the companies that I have been employed in my lifetime, this company has exceeded my expectations.

So my time with MSCO has been an absolute blast, From the first shift I felt something special brewing. The job itself it extremely easy, even on that hard days and when we are finished with each store it feels like we did something worth while. The manager I have and even upper management are a blessing and very easy to get along with as long as you do you due dilliagence and do you your job the right way. There are times when things may seem to not go so smoothly but the understanding and our abilities to progress and do the job makes it fun. They preach that we are a family and trust me when I say this, they treat you as such, down to the lower positions, I have had the experience of working with different mangers from all over and they are treated me the same. The traveling is fun and the people who you meet can make your day. While we do the same thing over and over sometimes twice a day. Its always different because you can be in a different town or state doing this job. If you want to work for a company that cares an

Working at MSCO has been a wonderful time in my life so far. The best thing I have found at this company is being taken seriously and respected by my peers and my superiors at the company. As a younger member of the work force, this is uncommon to find.

There are other things I have experienced here that make it a great work place, such as being acknowledged for a job well done and for reliability in the field.
I get frequent time off as a manager, all of which is paid.
While travel can be stressful, and is easily the hardest part of the job, I get notification long before I have to go out, easing the burden.
Though every day is a similar task to the one before it, a new location provides a fresh take on problems and solutions, making everything stay fresh.
I get a per diem when I travel, along with a travel allowance to help with gas, which significantly reduces the financial costs of traveling for work.
My Business Unit Manager is organized, knowledgeable, and practical.

So when I first started working there it was fine. Lots of travel and isn't for anyone with children that live at home because you will be gone overnight a lot. Sometimes for days or even weeks at a time. The schedule constantly changes at the last minute because management doesn't work to communicate in a timely manner. There are constant lay offs, sometimes for months and they say draw unemployment but a lot of people aren't eligible. This is a very poorly managed company and everyone wants to pass the buck and or throw people under the bus for management not taking responsibility for their actions. It ended up being a very horrible experience that forced us to relocate after being screwed over by the Columbus Indiana and mid west mngmnt. If you like stability, this is not for you. Also, their are many jobs that are actually heavy lifting and building of coolers and center store gondolas from scratch. Not merchandising, construction work with no extra pay.

MSCO has been more of a family than a company to work for. 

They constantly help their employees through hard times, as much as possible. They have extremely great Business Unit Managers, Merchandising Managers, and HR, that will go out of their way to help. Team work is the best work. 

The company is a wonderful opportunity for young people to get their foot in the door, work hard and be rewarded. They company is travel related and they do pay for travel pay. Some days are 8-10 hours and most are 6-7 hours. It teaches great responsiblity and you get to see different states, in different ways. 

I've extremely enjoyed working for this company and the respect that I've gained in such a short amount of time, and the support. I highly recommend and constantly recommend the company to my friends.

I have been with MSCO for 3 years now and coming from being a GM or SM for the last 14 years of my 24 years in retail management, this is by far the best job for me! MSCO has given me the opportunity to be able to be home with my family during downtime. A very family oriented company that does all they can to provide an amazing worklife balance for its employees. 

The job is stress free, fun, and easy! You go to work, have fun with your staff doing Planogram resets, get done with what you have to do, go home and you don't have to think about anything work related until you get up to go to work the next day. Oh and might I add you are off on the weekends.... I LOVE MY JOB and EVERYONE I work for have been amazing people, from my boss to all of upper management. Please keep up the great job of making MSCO an amazing company to work for.

Self paced well balanced in a way.  I had to work in other States at times to help but it was great to see them.  We did POGs (Planograms) at convenience stores (cooler and store POGs). You have your own territory and you will get to know the Store Manager at that store.  The hardest part was to get a contractor to help you with the projects.  Some people show up at the interview but never show their face again or just don't show at interview. When there were no projects you still got paid your salary.  I loved this job it was a lot of fun especially working with other Territory Managers it was like we were a family.

Keeping team employees seems to be a big challenge. The management is not trained well and therefore unqualified to perform his/her duties. Team workers are in such need they hire ANYONE willing to work. They do not protect nor stand behind their loyal employees. Rate if pay is according to who you are, not your abilities. Going through chain of command with work issues gives no resolve. If you can handle working above and beyond your duties, working with convicts and addicts, being cursed at in public and not being appreciated or respected then this job is for you.

Having experience in the reset and merchandising field for over 17 years with major fortune 500 companies I would say that MSCO offers fair compensation for the work expected from its employees. There is opportunity for advancement and room for lateral moves if a different location is desired. I enjoy working with the seasonal employees and their varied personalities. Most days are low to no stress and the time off is more than adequate. I truly enjoy my day to day work with this company. Upper management is easy to work with and gives proper credit to those that deserve it.

Temporary job with no benefits. Schedule changed constantly without regard to employees. Only paid travel time if it was over two hours each way and then it was two dollars less than your normal wage. Out of town travel required. They paid hotel but no stipend for food. I travel over 45 minutes each way to a job site almost everyday with no compensation. Heavy lifting required and exposure to cold temperatures. Would not recommend this job unless you desperately need one.
