Marketing agency Leader Team: employee feedback

In the service sector, there are many vacancies associated with the so-called "unspecialized" work. It is, mainly, in the performance of certain actions by a person who has no experience of work and education in this field. The most vivid example of such vacancies can be the position of a sorter in the trading floor of a supermarket or a cashier.

Nevertheless, such vacancies for someone can become a real lifeline. After supermarkets and simple stores we have a lot, each of them requires a large number of jobs that can allow a person who gets on it, to ensure their lives in difficult periods, while seeking a vacancy in the specialty.

Work in trading halls

You might think: how many people can take, say, one supermarket? After all, it's just about a few employees of the hall, cleaners, security guards and cashiers ... Nothing of the kind!

The greatest amount of work is done by merchandisers - people responsible for placing goods on shelves in the right kind and for placing prices under each of them. Only at first glance it may seem that this is a simple and small-volume work, for the reason that we visit the trading hall when everything is ready there. If we talk about each of several thousand items of goods placed on the shelves, it is necessary to check, replenish and accurately correct - then the obvious is the huge amount of work lying on the shoulders of workers.

That is why the store has two ways: either to hire its own team of people who will be engaged in this and train them; Or "rent" staff from third-party outsourcing companies that provide already trained people who know how to accomplish the task faster. Given the costs that the supermarket carries in both cases, most often companies choose the second way.

We will discuss this in more detail in the next paragraph.

Companies searching for personnel

The benefits of assistance with those companies that, roughly speaking, rent out staff, are manifested in several aspects. First, as already noted, this is the cost of services. To keep staff of workers of a supermarket will manage more expensively, than to order ready services at the special agencies co-operating with a plenty of workers. Secondly, it is more convenient to take such services periodically, based on the temporary nature of work in this area. After all, as is known, students or schoolchildren are engaged in such activities, as well as people who temporarily lost their jobs. This means that such a person will work for several months (at best), after which it will be necessary to look for a replacement. And this - an additional fee for training and selection.

Finally, thirdly, recruitment companies perform their target functions more qualitatively than a supermarket can do. This concerns, for example, the issue of labor control.

Considering the above, it is not surprising that today retailers often resort to the services of third-party companies working with people. And just one of these is the object of our article - a company called "Leader Tim". Employees' comments on the work in it we will give to get acquainted to understand how everything is arranged "from within".

LeaderTeam - one of the leaders of the segment

To begin with, this company really has something to "boast". According to the information posted on the official website, almost 20 thousand people work here. Their work is supervised by about 50 offices throughout the country, located in different cities. The company is working on a large number of projects - about 1.5 thousand; At the same time, the general experience of "Leader Tim" activity (which we refer to here) is 10 years.

If you describe it in brief, the company simply takes the trouble to hire, train and work in retail. Even the slogan placed in the "cap" of their site corresponds to this: "Your concerns are ours". Thus, by cooperating with Leader Team (employee feedback confirms this), supermarkets make life easier for themselves.

About what exactly the company does and who can be recruited here - in the next paragraph.

Where can they arrange for work?

Of course, you can find a job with this agency (if you call it that), you can go to supermarkets. The only question is in what position and with what job duties.

If you read the reviews about the Leader Team, you can find information there that almost always a company can find a job for anyone. That is, it means that open vacancies are available here at any time, the main thing is to have the desire to work and submit your resume on the appropriate contacts. There, in turn, you will be identified for the work that you are suitable for. Decide whether you want to work in this position or not, in the end you.

There are several vacancies that are open for hire. This: work in the trading floor, at the checkout, in the warehouse, as well as participation in the teams of specialists facing specific special tasks. It is not difficult to guess why, given the large number of supermarket partners, the company always has open vacancies for a mixed work that does not require qualification.

How to get a job?

At the same time, reviews of the Leader Team marketing agency indicate that it is not so easy to find a job here. Here they do not take a person without preliminary verification - otherwise it would threaten serious reputational risks for the company itself. After all, all work here is connected with the care, responsibility and honesty of the applicant - therefore the company can not hire "people from the street".

In this regard, in the Leader Team (staff reviews confirm this), conduct tests of candidates on the lie detector. Obviously, this is done in order to weed out dishonest employees of the warehouse, for example. This is a direct task of the marketing agency, after all, according to the terms of the contract with the supermarket, it is it who is responsible for the illegal actions of the employee.

Working conditions

Analyzing both the official information from the company's website, and regarding the feedback of employees to the Leader Team - Moscow, St. Petersburg or any other city - we can say that there are a huge number of sets of conditions that vary depending on the region where the office is located; And from the post itself. It is known that for the most part the agency pays a "white" salary of about 25 thousand rubles on the most ordinary vacancies such as a cashier. The higher the position in the hierarchy, the higher the employee's income level, respectively.

True, about one of the Moscow offices of Leader Team Personnel, employee feedback contained information about the "gray" wages. It is not known, it is a question of one particular department or a mass phenomenon in the whole group. Just a few users noted that they were paid 7-12 thousand rubles officially, after which the "top" was paid an additional 15-20 thousand "in the envelope." Unfortunately, it is impossible to establish how often such a phenomenon occurs.

Benefits of employment

In general, regarding the advantages, you can name them a number. In "Leader Tim" (Russia) reviews of employees of the company to explicit "pluses" of work include stability, relative availability of vacancies, in certain cases - interesting work related to logistics processes. Such work can really serve as a good start to a career, for example, for a student: teach him how to communicate with people, solve certain difficulties, will gain some work skills.

Another plus of the work here is the possibility of a "social elevator", or, more simply, in the prospects that the work in such a large and old company hides. Starting to work as a loader, you can expect some increase after a while. Of course, the option of leaving this post and moving to, say, the retail sphere on a regular basis - in the staff of some supermarket is not excluded.

Disadvantages of work

If there are positive qualities, then there will necessarily be negative ones. Them, judging by the fact that employees write about the work in Leader Team, several, but they are related to the team, the form of employment and, of course, the working conditions. So to speak, there are three "risky" zones, with which you may not be lucky.

First, here, as elsewhere, you can run into unpleasant people in your environment, work with which will not work. This is an ordinary situation, however, it will be easier to solve it in this company - you can simply switch to another position, ask the authorities to transfer you to another department and so on.

Secondly, you have a risk of "getting" on a "gray" salary. Yes, in that case, you will be paid a little more, but if you want to earn a higher pension in the future - we recommend to abandon this form of employment.

Thirdly, of course, you can get to the workplace with difficult working conditions. For example, there are several reviews that people had to work as a cashier, for the reason that such is the policy of the supermarket. To some, such a restriction will seem too painful.

Reviews of applicants

Despite the above-noted drawbacks, the company's employee reviews as a whole can be called acceptable for Leader Team. Yes, someone does not like the boss, someone - the girls from the department of accounting, not wishing to pay wages on time; For someone, the merchandiser's work seems like an infernal test. Nevertheless, now the company employs about 20 thousand employees, most of whom, for sure, are happy and satisfied with their work.

Tips and Tricks

So, if you feel that you would like to work in the retail sphere (even temporarily) - boldly get yourself in the Leader Team. Staff feedback (SPB, MSK, Saratov and any other city where there are company offices) testify, in general, about quite good working conditions. Plus, this is a great opportunity to prove yourself and build a career in the retail industry.

However, if you understand that such work is not to your liking - you can either try to transfer, or go to another company. For example - for a permanent job in another supermarket. In the end, you will have experience for this.

I wish you success!
