Does Advantage Solutions reimburse for mileage?

My boss is great, the pay could be better

They don't pay gas for the first 40 miles, and per mile is a joke. You drive to Tucson and back and they pay $18.00. 9 up 9 back! It's really not worth it if your vehicle isn't good on gas,! Let's say they pay $20 an hour, When it's all said and done your really getting $10 an hour and that isn't going to keep your employees from looking for a job elsewhere!

remote, benefits, flexible, no commute, save on gas

low pay, fast enviornment, unsupportive team members, too many meetings, dificult clients

scheduling your work hours, gas reimbursement, good health insurance

doesn't have any office, working alone, difficult to get to your manager

Create your own schedule with flexible rescheduling as long as you get the work done and communicate your needs. You are free to take personal calls as you work and step out as needed. Some Retail Supervisors (middle managers) are great to work with and genuinely care about you. This position can look good on your resume as you conduct B2B sales for several high-profile products.

High turnover, continued layoffs at multiple levels, and no job security. Low pay for the work, low (if any) commission on sales, and few advancement opportunities. 400+ miles a week on your personal car; you pay for all your own gas, the mileage reimbursement is pitiful, and a large portion of your commute is unpaid. These "fine print" cost-cutting measures mean several thousand dollars a year are ripped straight from your pocket. Constantly shifting expectations from internal management, clients' management, and store management, who all communicate poorly, all pull you in different directions, and all believe you are the problem. The excitement wears off fast. Store calls are constantly loaded incorrectly. On top of hitting sales goals, you perform hundreds of retail tasks daily across several stores, and everything you sell actively makes your life harder when it comes in. You are incentivized to fudge your merchandising numbers to hit KPIs—but if you are caught, you are fired. The work can get incredibly lonely. Your stores generally don't want you there, upper management doesn't care about you, and you may never meet your coworkers.

IF you have a good supervisor/manager and do a good job you can have schedule flexibility, other than that very, very few. They try to do some things right but can't get out of their own way. For a company in this industry the benefits package is fair. Time off and insurance are acceptable but no real deal - plenty worse/better options in the world. Pay is somewhat ambiguous given the business is tied to retail. The company has to make a profit but if you are looking to make decent $ look for companies that are growing instead of downsizing.

Constant nagging and treating you like a 12 year old child even when you are a consistent top performer... this is for both front line and supervisory levels. The company has lost many, large, long-term clients and is struggling mightily to 'reinvent' itself. They have had to lay off over 4000 people in the past year + due to this so as a result there is little to no opportunity for advancement. If you need a job/paycheck to simply tide you over this may be an option but the pay is low given the industry as a whole (although new employee's can maximize your ask) - existing employee's pay the price for sticking around. You are expected to use your personal cell phone to make your job easier with no compensation. Mileage paid is very, very poor - $0.37/mile while the IRS limit is nearly double at $0.725. They tell you that there will be tax implications to you as an employee if they pay you more (maybe so if you are a Supervisor/Mgr/Director who gets a slightly higher allowance and a gas card...). It may pay for your gas but it doesn't cover insurance, wear and tear etc. There is no or very, very little commission program for any type of sales for front line employees. Territories can be very large and spread out hence high mileage on a weekly basis. Very insular and do not give any credit or consideration to transferable skills for promotions. If you aren't from/haven't 'grown-up' in retail don't think you will have a chance at a promotion even if you are a top performer. If you need a survival job this may work but plan on a less than fulfilling work environment where you are treated as a 12 year old. If you are a mature, responsible adult looking for career opportunities I would suggest you go elsewhere unless you plan on working here for 12-18 months and moving on.

*IF* you have a good manager/supervisor they will likely let you work your own schedule once you have proven you are capable of doing so. That is a big *IF* though as not all managers are that way. If you simply need/want a job to tide you over or because you are transitioning this would work. If you are just out of college and working your way it could possibly be an opportunity but be prepared to get frustrated!

Oof - where to start! Pay is poor - partly because of the industry they serve/work with. However, company does -NOTHING- to recognize employee's need to make a living. Mileage is paid at $0.37/mile which is not even HALF of the govt approved rate and the company will give you a line about not paying more because of potential tax implications to you (which is completely inaccurate). If you are Supervisor/Manager or above you do get a small car allowance and gas card which still does not cover the cost of gas in most cases let alone insurance, depreciation, maintenance etc. Some territories are very large and require 400+ miles/week - you will get a 'high mileage' stipend of an additional $.02/mile. Depending upon your role, hourly rates will vary from $12 to $22/hour. Supervisors are paid very low and there is no recognition for length or quality of services. Empoyee review process is an absolute joke - the CHR Officer has created a system that make sense if you are in a Director or above role but to use it for hourly employee's is a joke. Company has just recently decided to give territory reps a 'break' when they take vacation (only during the summer months however...) on your territory coverage. In other words you are expected to cover your territory 100% if you take vacation. It gets even worse for Supervisors as they are expected to cover any 'open' territories. The company has a 'new' CEO (18 months...) and results are yet to be shown as they have lost -major- long time clients during the past 9 months. The other downfall is that they can not migrate quickly enough to younger leadership as a lot of the people in key account mgmt/business development roles are dinosaurs/old-timers are aren't really up to the new challenges. Additionally this is clearly reflected in the fact that if you come from 'outside the industry' your experience and background will be given little to no credibility or acknowledgment and opportunities to move up in the company are limited (especially when they are trying to replace 1000+ employee's from clients who have left). The challenge is that a lot of the dinosaurs don't know how to do much other than join their competitors in a race to the bottom on pricing and commoditizing their business. They don't know how to sell the holistic picture and value of what the company CAN do. As stated earlier - very insular in thinking that if you didnt' come up in grocery, retail you can't be past a certain level since you are likely just not smart enough. Insurance benefits are neither good nor terrible - they are, mostly, your typical company in America unless you are at the Senior Mgmt. or Exec. compensation level. In summary - you can probably get a job at Walmart or such for about the same amount of $ after you factor in the cost, hassles and headaches.

Working independently unsupervised, paid for travel time and mileage low effort

Disorganized to the point of doing double work and double documents, trying to please your supervisor as well as the store manger who both have completely different objectives. Faulty and or slow equipment. Running out of space in your personal vehicle and your home becoming storage for this company. They used to pay for a month to month storage unit but they stopped. Asinine conference calls conducted WHILE you are working inside a store. Stores never having what the company thinks they do so you are unable to complete a project and you are sent there to complete and being punished and having to go back multiple tines to

Pay is decent Paid holidays if full time PTO if full time

No training Hardly any info to do your job Flexible start time really doesn’t mean that at all Company will allow clients to lie and bash your name and are afraid to take up for the employees. Mileage is really nothing compared to other companies Travel is barely minimum wage and not hourly pay Supervisors say one thing then do something else and penalize you for doing what they told you was OK to do Discrimination for age if younger people are also there and they are young too, you will be out fast.

Too much driving wear and tear on your car

No reimbursement for driving only .26 a mile not enough to cover gas

The hours were good and no weekends.

Travel using own vehicle, lousy pay, poor benefits. Layoff with minimal notice.
