Redbox Reviews

I have no complaints! There is nothing that I do not like my position with Redbox. No cons

1) Micromanaged, I hired on shortly after as Outerwall took over Red box. From what I heard it was a pleasant place to work before the take over, but they don't have all their ducks in a line. The training is rather minimal. You learn on the job a lot. There should be more streamlined training process at corporate. However, that likely won't happen because they probably don't plan on keeping employee's for that long. Which brings me to my next con.... 2) For an FSR 1, there is no company car, no fleet vehicle, let alone a car allowance outside of the mileage reimbursement which can be cumbersome in terms of detailing routes. They pay for your mileage reimbursement but what really is the problem is that your using your OWN vehicle, and depending on your route, you will be stopping and starting your vehicle upwards of 15-25x a day giving the engine 10-20minutes of rest in between. It's very stressful on engines. Despite the fact that you'll pack on the miles, It's not the mileage you'll be worried about. You would think for a company that requires you to drive a vehicle all day, they would invest a little more into that aspect of the job. 3) Onto the next con, your vehicle will be jam packed with boxes of dvd's and marketing product. Sure you can empty your vehicle out, but that will get old unloading the boxes every time. You actually should have a SUV with significant room for the boxes, marketing material plus a tote bag filled with supplies. 4) The machines are for the most part outside with some select counties having things different. What this translates to is to sometimes an unsafe environment. In certain areas these things get broken into quite a bit. You also have to do the job when it's raining, snowing, hot or cold. You'll be on the ground at times whether that's dirty cement/snow or ice. Most of the machines do not have awnings over them. 5) People will talk to you and sometimes hassle or even harass you which can be expected, but it will be annoying at the very least while your trying to answer there questions while they are completely oblivious to the fact that you are trying to do a job. God-bless em, but kids are even worse. At least kids with oblivious parents. They will pull out DVD's artwork knock over stacked piles that your counting. That's another thing, your taught to multitask so you'll have to manage and keep close watch over product because it can and will disappear whether it's your fault or somebody Else's. 6) The pay for this kind of position is not where it should be. I believe average hourly salary is around $12-15, however it realistically should be somewhere between $16-20.
