Pros: pay was about 850 a week.

Cons: EVERYTHING else. Travel distance is often absurd with no compensation whatsoever other than a very minor gas reimbursement if you travel over 100 miles. I traveled 300 miles out of state for this job and received no reimbursement. Had to pay for the hotel ourselves. 

Management in my experience was laughable. My manager played favorites and gave certain employees over 10 hours of paid time off a week. They'd go home 2-3 hours a day every single day but get paid the same as everyone that stayed the full shift. While on the job I tweaked my neck and injured my upper back, and my boss said I need a doctor's note in order to get the night off of work. So I did, and this absence from work, due to a workplace injury that I told my doctor was an at-home injury (since my boss told me not to report workplace injuries since that means trouble for the whole team, like paperwork or a drug test - god forbid) was partial to my termination. After my employment ended he tried to withhold my money from me, and I had to harass HR for a while before being paid for the work I did. Oh, and my boss made a habit of extending his 15 minute breaks to 30+ minutes every single time. 

The hours are too much. 9pm start time, 8-9am finish time with an hour lunch. 10-12 hour shifts every day, sometimes an hour or more away from home. If you get a full night's sleep, work a full shift, and live an hour away from where you work (far from uncommon with this job, changing a new store every 1-2 weeks), you have literally 2 hours in your 24 hour day that aren't spent working, sleeping or driving to work. 

Also, there was zero paid time off, sick days or benefits of any kind that I was aware of. I was a full-time employee, not a temp or anything, and to my knowledge I received zero benefits. After termination there was no additional pay to account for any paid time off that was built up.

The best part about the job was seeing the country from location to location, but got kind of old after 5 years.
The hardest part was being away from family and friends but for the pay I received, it was worth it for awhile.
There was also down time fairly frequently between jobs, which I could not do as lapses would last for a month or more at times.
The work itself was easy but fast paced as we were paid per job; therefore, this sometimes meant more or less hours than the day before depending on materials provided and shape of the store itself upon arrival, as well as assistance provided from the stores.
I was the only member of management from the company with my crew and was in charge of getting the projects signed off to ensure payment and completion of job for the resets.
We remodeled  departments of stores and took out their old inventory to be replaced with new product being phased in as well as new signage installed as well as fixtures.
We would do our best and get the job done to the best of our ability and make each store satisfied; however, often had to reorder materials not provided at initial revisit to return to a later date.

lets begin with the good things. i really enjoy the traveling. also, the work is actually a blast. i really do have a lot of fun working here. 

and now for the bad. there is an extremely top heavy management culture that does not reward you for good work.  so don't expect gratification for doing quality efficient work. i would even go as far as to say you're just as likely to be punished for working hard.  
and this is even a more serious point: sometimes you'll not have work for 3-4 months, then with mere days of notice, you'll be expected to travel 1000+ miles. all the while paying for your own gas, hotel, and wear on your personal vehicle. they like to pretend that you will be compensated for mileage. but the reality is that you will get an insulting pittance to cover your mileage. and only after 250 miles. 

all in all, the only reason I'm still working here, is that i really enjoy the work itself,  and traveling is a lot of fun. im continually on the hunt for something better. when i find it, rest assured ill be gone, and theyll be down a quality employee. which im fully confident they will notice, as the PNW doesnt exactly have alot of disposable manpower. 

Went down hill when our Regional Manager passed away. Other than you have to pay for your hotel, the job was fun, fast-paced, and a good challenge. 
The new Regional Manager for the PNW does not generally care about the PNW team. If you're in Washington or Oregon, good luck to you, because work that should be for your team, will be given to another region's team. You will have sometimes OVER A MONTH of no work, and then be asked to travel to, let's say, Montana. When you live in Oregon. How are you supposed to afford this? Good question. But they expect that from you continuously. 

Got to go to Hawaii, that was cool. Although the hotels ate a lot of my check, I was at least able to go there, which was super sweet. Not a lot of money to do anything, but it was still beautiful.
If you have to fly anywhere, they pay, but you don't get paid the miles.

I liked that job and the pay was great it helped my family a lot unfortunately My cousin brought me on as a partner for 5 weeks and then he quit after we returned home and I didn't have another partner so I couldn't stay on. I had an out of state experience with awesome management that encouraged me and compliments me which caused me to work that much harder. I enjoyed the downtime and time to myself outside of the job. The job was hard because we pulled all the shelving , replaced it or even put new shelving in for brand new stores and completely set up the plan o grams and stocked the shelves.

In my opinion, PWF is a great company to work for, it’s hard to leave once you’re there. The majority of it’s employees are great people from different backgrounds. The upper management working from the office (not in-store with you) usually doesn’t have a clue what’s happening in the field. There’s no recognition for hard work or attendance therefore time with the company supersedes anything in terms of career advancement. No immediate benefits other than a modest per diem. They do offer pto after working with the company for 5 years. The biggest benefit is job security and the opportunity to travel the US, meeting some great people along the way. 

I loved the job, my main contract was with Lowes. I would travel from job to job in the pacific northwest, I established many realationships whith diffrent managers and staff. I learned how to be a merchantdiser, I was the manager for my Crew I had anywhere from a 4 man crew to a 12 man Crew and I got mostly 5 star reviews. The hardest part of my job would have been managing all the diffrent personalitys of my Crew. And the best part was seeing all the diffrent places, I got to go to Alaska and Haweii, Ive been to North caralina and everywhere on the west coast

Pay is paid in bonuses on top minimum wage so if looking toward career buying a car or house doesnt really allow the earned amout to help with purchasing cause its bonused.  Good as a food in to industry, or just to work and travel but its nothing id ever build a career on. Mgt doesnt have clear instructions or plans and alot of time is wasted on un prepared buisnesses and schedules with supplies.  Theres always something wrong no matter where or what job youre doing.  Also comp for travel, gas, and hotel you might as well be getting minimum wage.  

Great job for single people or a couple with no children. Lots of travel. You will work hard, sometimes long hours after traveling across States. However with a good hard working crew some jobs get
done early so there's opportunity to get paid for days without working... Lots of drug addicts though and they will try to skimp the checks so keep track of your own time.

You're treated constantly as a number and not a person. Despite performing often back breaking labor, in occasionally extreme weather conditions, you aren't even treated as if they're appreciative of your help. 

Management won't hesitate to talk down to you and often management has been confronted about pay being short.
