Advantage Solutions Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Very good honest work, good pay, and per diems. the only con about advantage solutions is the lack of communication with the mangers, the team lead, and the traveling dates were always mixed."

"Advantage is a leading provider of technology-enabled sales and marketing. It's a business solution designed to help manufacturers and retailers across a broad range of channels drive consumer demand, increase sales and achieve operating efficiencies."

"I'm a Seasoned Recruiter, but Advantage Sales & Marketing, now Advantage Solutions, had the most uncomfortable working environment I've ever worked in. The amenities and office set up was appropriate, but the temps that were funneled in, to recruit Nationwide, were mostly uneducated, unprofessional, and most acted like juveniles. I've never witnessed so many on the spot firing of the temps, by walking up to their cubicles daily with a box and BAM, they're out! Everyday was nerve racking, for fear of "who's next?". I was confident in my assignment, since I made/exceeded my numbers and goals, the right way, but was counting the days, I could leave. My first day was like a Cattle Call, and I was hesitant to stay during the training, after witnessing many new Recruiters, working formerly in Auto Stores, Car Sales, Fast Food, Bill Collectors, etc. On a fair note; I do respect the Agency that hired me for the assignment. From day one, I knew this was not the place for an employee who has long term career goals, dresses the part, follows the rules, has good work ethics, and can see right through the menagerie! There were so many security issues while there, and these were predicted one by one, as I noted. The high turn-over for Project Leaders on each team, was a "Three Ring Circus". Two out of the three Managers I had, were more of your TMZ subjects. One bragged how she dated. Well it didn't come as a surprise nor was I impressed, that the hooker shoes coupled with short spandex dresses that she wore to the office, weren't the best professional example for employees within the office, but dating Bill was supposedly a credential?! The culture's diversified but predominantly, Hispanic and African American. I have no prejudices, but they were favored, even if their numbers were low. The dress code wasn't enforced for them either. I was relieved to have my assignment end and I didn't even put their company name on my Resume, due to embarrassment!"

"Took over a month to get background clear ahead, then additional guessing time to actually get started in the stores. Not much actual training, one has to take the time, hopefully paid, to do that but company won't do this if it's above an hour. Look out for rough seas in regards to your reception by store personnel, and there may be times you just lack the nerve. Store staff can be very difficult and insulting to demonstrators. Where you stand with ASM may be more nebulous and hours may cliff drop before the first of the new year. They hire entry level but are understaffed, depending on location and numbers. This is a time consuming, roundabout, high stress job that is disorganized and not very supportive of event workers. Your colleagues may also be a source of trouble."

"Once hired my recruiter wouldn't return voicemail or email and after being on board two months. RM also dismissive. Basically, a new hire trains remotely and especially if a total rookie has no solid idea how the whole thing will be. Working at a Walmart is rough...AS vendors will also discover this. Be prepared for much grief and to be a thorn in not only store employees' but managers' side. No lie, you may be mistreated. Then there's the Company drama. It all can really be a deal breaker. The retirees doing this must be hardy and admirable as one has to be repeatedly resilient and smiley faced against shoppers who constantly pull demonstrator aside for questions better answered by store employees; archaic Company equipment; opposition by Walmart workers, including customer service staffers; error evident instructions/conflicting ideas and crazy making. I could think of so many not little things the Company could make much easier for the demo artists but did not. Again, the situations and petty personality conflicts others throw will make an ES wish they never went to work, and eventually it finally got through. I lasted as long as I did because of a couple true professional Company colleagues who were in the same proverbial boat. The rating is more for the Store's and overall job conditions. Company experience may vary on city/state and specific managers. I would rate the woe and realistic experience at best, a one point five."

"Just fine. I got along with some of the employees, but another boss from another store I didn't get along with at all."
