A good job for high school studets or people between jobs

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I would go out to multiple locations in the D.C. metropolitan area and would advertise for local businesses buy standing on street corners and performing tricks with a six foot sign. It was and outdoor job so being able to work though different seasons and weather conditions would be difficult. Wind in rain in particular were a detriment to the capability of performing tricks. Although, it was enjoyable to go out to different areas across Maryland and Virginia and see what was out there. People would regularly cheer as well which made performing all the more entertaining. There was a large chain of people I worked through, all of whom I had a good relationship. I was paid on time and was praised for my abilities and my clean slate in terms of the companies I advertised for. I was driven to the locations by multiple different people and while some rides I were quiet and I would likely nap, other times we would have enjoyable conversations about our lives in the free time we had. My main issue was a somewhat unfair attitude I received from my main manager. While I had no personal issue with him I found it difficult to receive bonuses compared to others who I knew to be quite lazy on the job. Overall, though that was not what made me quit but rather another job taking up so much of my time that I could not work both simultaneously.

Pros

Friendly; good pay for hours worked; good exercise

Cons

Lazy coworkers; bad weather

Marketing Specialist Experience

Aarrow Advertising is a new and impactful style of sports and advertising that catches the attention of millions at many street corner nationally. With training & endurance, one spinner can become a trainer and move upwards in managment as their skillsets increase. I have gained much marketing knowledge and networking experience in the process of helping the promotion of many businesses throughout Houston TX and the Washington D.C. area as well as North Carolina, New York, and New Jersey markets.

Holder Sign

I have been working there for one year. I just stand for over 5 hours on the street. I was hopefully people can seeing it and remind people can go. I was having a good time with meeting new people on the street and making me more energy.

Cashier / Dish Washer / Subwsy

a typical day here is being behind the register, but going where ever there needs to be work done around the store when needed. Here I learned to a fast passed worker. The co workers are nice, hardest part of the job to me was freezer stocking. The part I enjoyed about work was the people

Pros

A steady income, easy to learn

Cons

None

A job, not a career

It's a great choice for high school and college students, they never really fire anybody but getting a shift is up in the air, they are mostly weekend shifts and your basically spinning a sign for 3,4,5 hours with a 20-30 minute break. The longer you've worked there the more 6-7 hour shifts you get. Payday is every other Wednesday and there are weekly practices at North Hollywood Park which is down the street from the office.

Pros

Great job choice as long as your in school living with your parents

Cons

Short breaks, working out in the hot sun for hours, there are times you might go a week or two without a shift.

partially successful

Regularly you commute to different hotel venues on various days throughout the week/weekend, there is a digital media aspect to making money, and the co-workers are mostly family oriented. The hardest part is commuting and learning how to do the job properly but the most enjoyable part is the performing, the tips, the recognition, the traveling, and the benefits of building a team

Pros

(sometimes) free lunches, or expenses paid

Cons

Weather conditions

Exciting, fun, and new experience.

It was a fun job. Advertised for stores, new neighborhoods, etc. by spinning signs, doing tricks, wearing company shirts, and passing out flyers. Mostly independent so, did not spend much time around co-workers. Pleasing the clients and receiving positive attention was the most enjoyable part of the job.

Pros

Manageable schedule.

Cons

Not many consistent hours available.

The best high school/post-graduate job

I've wish I've done this at age 16 for this is a great way to get that type of job to earn enough to buy that xbox game or save up for the new iphone. I hate it when people categorize me as a "teenager" who doesn't know anything about the workforce; AArrow will redefine that. Work is not suppost to be easy and its not suppost to be fun but, being a sign spinner had to be the easiest $10/hour you'll ever make.Going through a job interview is less imitating...really! They talk to me about sign spinning being a performing art, a sport and a career in the guerilla marketing field. AArrow Ads. is a franchise just like Burger King, Giant- The Grocery store and other entry level job out there for 16-18 year olds.I went through 3 day of training to become a great sign spinner. I'm not good with sports, arts, music or anything that is school related. I learned 4 twirl-like sign spinning tricks that I gotten too emotional because I finally felt that I can do something useful in life. My parents didn't like the idea that I do not get paid to attended training but learning a new skill is priceless to me. After 3 days of training, I've lost 20 pound after my 7th shift.Managment, I wish there was another cool way to use that word because that is how awsome my bosses are! First day into working a 5 hour shift, I was suppost to be graded by my boss on my performance along with other work ethics. He/she couldn't showed up but I just assume that they are still around to find me if I choaked on the corner. After I was done with my shift, I when back to the office of the client that I was - 

Pros

gas reimbursement, texting is allowed with exceptions, mp3 players are allowed, managment rarely looks over your shoulder and family-friendly

Cons

blue-collar duties(must be outside, etc.), no work compensation, weekend shifts are manitory(drivers), low-resources(sales team), paycheck are handed out after weekly practice; no direct deposit.
