SFS, Inc.

A great company to work for. You have support from your zone manager & usually a part time manager on weekends. You work independently unless you're on a team project. My issue is the scheduling: Some weeks there are no projects & some weeks there are a ton; I don't understand why they can't be spread out. Anyway, in the area I live I am limited to how many stores I can service so am always trying to pick up jobs at further locations, which is a burden, as drivetime isn't paid & mileage is only paid over 30 miles, one way. I've tried to get a better position within the company to up my hours, but no luck. I'm currently looking for new employment, due to not enough hours. The pay is very low & some tasks don't allow enough time to complete & you have to get the OK from your manager to proceed. They check up on your schedule, but if you don't complete something the day you told them, just check in with them & tell them when you can. If I lived in a larger area, I would have more work; there's just not enough here & driving 60 miles 1 way gets old.

This job is pretty much for people that already have a family member/spouse with a decent-paying job in their household. For instance, I just wanted to supplement our income since my husband pays well. You go into stores and do resets or revisions with products to make sure companies have their products on the shelves. You do get to choose hours but you ONLY get paid for the timed projects. Theres projects that involve confirmations of schematics but also projects that might take you an hour but wont get paid for it. I worked over 20-25 hours and only got paid $110. They’ll ignore your emails but will call you as soon as you input your time if it’s over the 1 or 3-hour limit. Companies like Family Dollar or Dollar General need to give their employees more hours to do these projects than hiring contract and skim their working hours. Good luck

They sent me into stores that have not been serviced in months. The stores were a complete mess and the were expecting miracles done with in an hour and a half. They had so much backstock that I had to climb over boxes. I didn't mind the work, it waws the bad attitudes from management. I swear if you gave them a whip they would use it. I worked for them for over two months and Yet to be paid. They give the excuse that they are transferring from work day to ADP yet it has been months.
they expect you to down load a Janky app that wants all your personal info including your Social Security Number. they company does have  direct deposit but they are trying to force us to use The app because they get kickback from us using it.
I asked for a check and still holding my breath to get paid

The New England branch is in shambles because of the team leader and the stores themselves. They expect whole isle resets done within a fraction of reasonable time and the team leader is confrontational and terrible with communication. I wouldn't even credit this company with flexibility because the stores are just flat out broken, and it's going to be your fault when you have to handle gallons of overstock and markouts. All of Family Dollar and Dollar General's staff are completely overworked underpaid, but thankfully they fake a smile. 

Very poor communication from this company. They expect a lot but give very little in return. Received only 1 raise in 11 years. Have had 7 different supervisors in 11 years - my guess they get treated even worse than merchandisers. The stores I go into are great, the work itself is fun and mostly easy. Hours/days are flexible. But you have to be extremely organized and scrutinize every paycheck. They will shortchange you every chance they get.

There was nothing stressful about working for them

What is the best part of working at the company?
Make ur own schedule . No boss to answer to

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When team lead won’t answer and paying for gas

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family dollar and dollar general are both laid back when I do I service visit

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Usually one store per day if it’s several hours or several one hour stores

There is lots of flexibility for making your own schedule, and you work remotely from home. The pay is not so great, and you are employed on a 1099 contract basis, so it mostly suits part-time or as an income supplement. Some tasks are paid at flat rate and work out to less than minimum wage, with no way to get management to review or assist. 

It's a very flexible gig.  The communication is extremely poor. The role is basically sorting, cleaning, organizing,  and restocking merchandise at various stores. 
It's super easy to do, super flexible,  and easy to fit into your schedule.  
The leadership team never gets back and it's very poor as far as training, ect. If you are able to build your own stores, etc, it works. But you have to work it.  

The typical day at work is doing my job properly and I learn a who lot when reset and putting in new items. The zone manager is very helpful and communicates a lot when I text her, she answer my questions properly.  The hardest part of the job is catching up with the work .
