Has anyone done the Totes Replenishing jobs? How long does it typically take and what is the level of difficulty? I have not worked with the company before.

It depends on the season. I had a couple of locations I did, and I would have so much inventory, and the product never leaves the shelves. Then, in one store, they were not getting enough product it flew off the shelf.

I did some last summer, not bad, The hardest thing was finding someone to help you locate the merchandise in the stock areas.

It's a crapshoot, honestly. Most stores have a pretty messy stockroom and the product is either buried and/or they don't know where it is. The boxes will say Totes on them but you will spend an unknown amount of time searching through their back room and you may or may not locate any back stock. Bring your own box cutter.

There is nothing particularly difficult about the tidying itself, it's just time consuming. And, I have yet to be welcomed by the store associates, they generally seem annoyed. I mean, I get it, they can't be thrilled that it's someone new every time... But, expect that they will be exactly zero help so you will be happy if one doesn't treat you like gum they just stepped in.

May have to assemble a shelf to put them on in the first place, I did. Then finding the "seasonal" spot which required a manager who was busy with other things in the store, so wound up waiting 10 minutes for that. Unless you are getting over $100 probably not worth it.

Have not done Totes assignments yet, but they sound similar to the winter wear projects for the same company. The gigs are in sporting goods and other stores. The work ranged from quick and easy (yes, really) to time-consuming and back torturing. My only suggestion is for anyone with sore backs, knees, etc. For how long can you stand, raise arms, bend legs, lift and move presumably a few boxes or items at a time, etc.? Would you tolerate this for enough money?

The guidelines recommended not going past a certain time so that a manager will be available. That time is grossly overstated and should be noon. I went at 1PM and everyone who might know something was gone for the day.
