Pros

The pay is good, benefits very good, diversity in accounts, spend most of workday away from management out on route. Day goes by fast.

Cons

Management by fear. The G.M and A.G.M. put otherwordly pressure on D.M. and route reps to achieve goals that only the top markets can realistically achieve. Leads to a feeling of hopelessness to succeed. Constant negativity from said management creates culture of failure leaving R.S.R. primarily focused on staying off bottom of performance matricites. Employee builds absolutely zero equity with company. If you struggle for even a quarter you lose your job. Zero chance of advancement in branch locations, available positions not even made known. Company is simply unethical with loss and ruin and price increases and leave R.S.R out to dry for it. Aramark will throw R.S.R under the bus whenever any large account shows discontent. G.M. quoted by mid management as saying "we can always find a way to blame the route rep".

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
