They are actually a very good company, I was just voicing a grievance about one particular issue. Overall I am very pleased with them.
As for the buybacks, if it is the beef one plan to spend about $100-120 per store. For the marshmallows it is much less, often only a few $$. They reimburse any money spent the following day, and you get to keep the product. I have a ton of meat snacks and marshmallows that I just donated to a local food bank.
The store resets are the best moneymaker, IMO. $100 or more per shift, and a $50 show-up fee if the store is closed or it is cancelled. You work with a crew so you don't really have to know how to do resets, as most will teach you. They are a great place to network & learn about all aspects of merchandising.
