What exactly is an inventory job?
Asked by erinny2000
I'm thinking about taking a job with RGIS and working at stores to count their inventory but I'm not sure if i want to do that or not. It sounds fairly easy, do you need to know a lot of math? I'm really bad at math, I can count but don't ask me to do the times tables in my head or anything like that. What exactly happens on the job?

Best Answer:
You don't need to know math at all. Typically, these companies go out in teams of 10-20 and pour over the store like locusts counting every item in the store. You have machines that do the counting for you--you only need fast fingers. The work tends to be seasonal, with most stores counting their inventory after Christmas when most of it is gone.

you count the stock in a store. They have machines that they carry on their sides and they just enter the number of each item and the price

you have to be able to travel to stores in your town (area) and be on your feet all day - bending over to count the bottom shelf, and standing up and bending over and standing up and on your feet all the time. You need to be in good physical health. So you count all day in one store and then go to another store the next day and count all day and you get paid a low wage. sounds really boring to me.
