What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff are very helpful and was there for support if I needed it while I was out in the field.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Because it was a position where I drove to different stores in that particular city, the weather was stressful especially in the winter.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Because of being out in the field, it was nice that I could create my own work environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was very easy going.  I could choose my own hours as long as I visited all the stores on my list every month.

In managing five sales managers and over 100 sales people across Canada for PepsiCo's Quaker, Tropicana and Gatorade division I developed processes and systems that maximized efficiency and effectiveness. We had to respond to urgent client (PepsiCo) requests to launch new products, ensure distribution, shelf schematics, pricing and merchandising were all sold into Grocery, Mass Merch. and C-Storea accounts.
The people were great - hardworking, creative and industrious. By far the best part of the job.

CIM was a growing organization when I joined, and my division - Field Matrix - was a brand new division.  It was an exciting time that required some risk taking and some stepping out of my comfort zone.  
I had amazing support from the senior management team and was allowed the opportunity to shape my division as we quickly grew from a small team to a very large team.
There were challenges every day, and there was never a dull moment!  
The culture was positive, and fast-paced!  I enjoyed every moment!

Best part was as a merchandiser always got to put out flowers and help people pick flowers or make little arrangements. The job was terrible because you were always waiting on the driver to deliver the order, store stock people to take it to the floor for you, communication with management both of the store you are merchandising and from CIM is terrible.  They try to do all electronically but sometimes you just need to TALK.

It was a good job. it was only seasonal. I did sampling of different products that came out. I learned not every job is that same and if you make it fun it will work out of the best. my co-workers were great to work with becuause if i needed help with something they were right there more then willing to help.

• Excellent communication with diverse groups
• Excellent Sales and Marketing skills development
• Monitored and supervised a small number of employees
• Completed planned training activities in order to obtain the desired amount of product and brand knowledge
• Developed excellent problem solving skills

CIM's environment and culture truly resonates with a 'work hard yet play hard' mentality.
Enthusiasm was contagious, excitement was in the air and client service and consumer experiential marketing was the goal in this 'family feel' like company.

This place rocked, I mean I just loved going to work and we had such a fun time.  One of the best times of my life working for CIM.   I'm not there any longer but I still maintain my friendship with people.

disorganized bad management not enough experience to be in management position..only gives hours to preferred employees..good turnover of products to demonstrate

Enjoy working with the products and the customer interaction. Being able to teach the public about healthier lifestyles through the product that i am demostrating
