Schwan's Employee Reviews for Phospheric Aerospace Plating Specialist

"The govenment is checking into abuse charges at this time"

What do you like about working at Schwan's?

"They have the right idea about how to do things. But what they tell you is fictional. Your pay is both bonus and commission. When you log onto the computer you earn $50 for the day. When you complete 80% of your stops on time, then you earn another $50. The problem is that when you are allowed only 4 minutes to service a customer and need to process a link card, it takes an additional 4 to 4 1/2 minutes to process the call. If you lose your personal cell phone signal while processing the link card you must start all over again. You have have to try to process the same link card 2, 3, 4 times or more depending on the cell phone signal from the cell phone that you own. That's right. You have to also supply your own cell phone. The company also saves money this way. If you do not make 80% of your stops on time you lose $50 for the day. You also earn 1% on commissions up to $800 and then the commission goes up. But if you earn $50 for logging onto the computer, you lose $50 in bonus because the daily schedule does not all enough time to make the required stops or someone has set up false address in the g.p.s. that do not exist or if the set the g.p.s. for a location that is perhaps 1/2 to 1 mile away from the correct address location then you will not make 80% of your stops because you have no idea where they are. But you do earn 1% on sales up to $800. That is great!!! You sell $800 worth of product and you earn 8 cents, before taxes.So by the end of the day you have actually grossed $50 for logging onto the computer, You may have sold $600 worth of product and earned 6 cents (gross pay). This is wonderful. But do not forget to deduct the cost of the cell phone that you have to purchase to use on your job with Schwan's."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"PLEASE learn how to read interviewers. This will not only help you learn the truth yourself about Schwan's, but help when interviewing with other companies."

What don't you like about working at Schwan's?

"This is covered in the statement above. I am so upset with Schwan's that I cannot stand it. Everyone needs to check the internet for sites that employees and customers have posted. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT WHAT YOU LEARN."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management is aware of the problems and has demonstrated that they do not care. There is nothing that anyone can suggest to management or anyone else if they do not care what they are told. After all they are management and who cares what an employee says or thinks, unless it is publicly made comments like this that tell what is going on at Schwan's."
