Pros

If you have a love for technology, this is a fun place. Working remotely is cool, too. They use Microsoft Teams which is an easy and user friendly platform.

Cons

Micro managed to death BUT THE WORST is there are no bonuses. They expect you to sell aggressively and give you steep quotas and expectations but give you nothing in return. Management sits back and never responds when you need help, but I'm sure they're raking in nice bonuses while the people doing the work still live in poverty. That's right...at full time, the pay is a joke, I barely make more than 24,000 a year which is nothing.

Pros

You’re outside so no customers

Cons

Management tries to cram deliveries in the most nonsensical way possible because unless my store is different, our manager didn’t actually do the job so he doesn’t understand it. You’re reliable for all the maintenance of the truck when you usually have a full day worth of stuff and when you’re done just want to get home already. Not too long ago my truck broke down on me, I had no oil and was told to keep driving until I told him it was smoking and then I had to call the tow truck. Afterwards I was told to keep trying to do deliveries even though we had no extra truck and we had 2 fridges to send out. Management has no idea what they’re doing. Warehouse is also a mess too at least around holidays, so many damaged merchandise that you cant always see. Customers will also be jerks about the most minor of problems, if that thing isnt spotless and they live in a suburb or city be ready to deal with a spoiled brat and have to play customer service. Also, you’re not alone during the job so if you’re unlikely like me you get a 3rd party hire who does drugs and constantly complains about the most minor of things all day. Management is downplaying this job and its issues tremendously which is why turnover is so high, training on a computer shows you literally nothing of the actual job

Pros

One of the easiest jobs you can have if you just want to float by. Pay is decent. Paid Time off, holidays, and full-time benefits are extensive

Cons

Vertical Movement is based on open position and can often be based heavily on favoritism of upper management. Very little accountability on performance for team members. Going above and beyond can sometimes have little reward.
