Fun

Promoter (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 5 October 2023

Really enjoyable. Great people to work with and bonuses. Great to not have a manager over you all the time, but must admit that the hours are tough especially being on your feet all day.

Flexible work

Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Suffolk - 26 September 2023

A good job if you want flexibility and it to fit in with family life. Not always that many hours available and no set hours each week. Paid monthly into your bank.

Not a bad place to work if you like field work

Merchandiser (Current Employee) - North West - 22 September 2023

The managers are supportive. There is consistent work and options for additional tactical work if you want. You must be okay with working out on your own in the field. But I enjoy the variety!

For the KPI-oriented only

Regional Sales Manager (Former Employee) - England - 28 June 2023

Colleagues are fun to work with, management are toxic (as per the norm for retail). KPIs are unrealistic and the job interferes with your personal life (due to poor organisation and planning skills from management).

Even though its a sales role, management are very supportive and the pay can be very rewarding. I would recommend CPM over other similar companies. The training is top notch aswell.

Fair company to work for

Field Sales Executive (Former Employee) - Devon - 4 April 2023

Happy until I was made redundant. Fair working hours. Monday to Friday. Supportive manager. Rather tedious work. Being out on the road was enjoyable.

Friendly environment

Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Newport - 26 March 2023

I have had a very pleasant experience to date with the management very helpful and friendly, I currently cover one store 1 day a week and the store team are very welcoming to. The job is easy with attention to briefs provided a day in hand so less margin for errors the app is straightforward to use whilst completing the call. My only downfall is I don't drive otherwise I would have asked for more work.

Pros

Flexible timing

Cons

Non

Truly terrible company

Royal Mail New Business Manager (Former Employee) - Warrington - 16 August 2022

Awful company. Avoid at all costs. It is not worth compromising your mental health for such a truly horrific job. Stay well clear and don't put yourself through it.

Pay was shocking, not enough to live on, hours were ok, staff were OK, management only cared about senior people, low paid people were not important. Not great

Cons

Long hours, bad culture

Erratic work and poor pay. Not easy to contact either line Manager or head office.

Field Services Developoment Executive - Part Time (Current Employee) - Grays - 22 June 2022

Sadly the company regional area management structure has changed since I joined in 2017. A lot less contact and a lot less work available and no one available to talk to about this. The pay is poor for the responsibilities and the work load is very erratic.

Unorganised and unreliable

Tactical Demonstrator (Former Employee) - Liverpool - 9 May 2022

This was my first job and I was only young but straight away I noticed that I was not a priority. It was 0hr contract but I barely got any shifts because they were always given to older members of staff instead and when I could get a shift, all the things I needed to work (brief, apron/t-shirt, poster, cleaning products, etc.) hadn’t been looked after or implemented. I wasn’t given a key card to get in and out of the staff canteen/cloak room with a huge stand or even just for lunch so I constantly had to rely on members of staff for the shop I was working in to help me. I didn’t have much interaction with the managers as they worked separately from the demonstrators but I did have to contact them a few times when I moved away to a different city for my studies. They said I’d be able to just switch location on the staff portal online to book shifts wherever I was but this was not the case. It just created a mess and I stopped working there all together. The one positive thing from that job was that my Brand Ambassador/Mentor was extremely lovely and sympathetic towards me being a nervous beginner and my mental disability. Working with the other Demonstrators and Brand Ambassadors was always a treat and it was far better than working alone.

Business development

Business Development Manager (Former Employee) - Field Based - 28 March 2022

Management isn’t great as can micro manage. There is biased from management to specific team members who get treated better.The HR department are not helpful when a complaint is made against management.
