Pros

Company Van, Stock purchase plan

Cons

No pay weekend work. Work until 5 and go home to computer work. Commish based salary but will send to other areas to do service and tell you your small salary covers that. 80% service work but want to pay you only for sales work. Customers go past 90 days late and they take commissions back but you still have to the leg work collecting or pulling equipment for FREE. Have to rely on food reps to sell products and have no control of ordering for that part of business but that affects you're budget goals. Management has no problem lying to team. Have had a few managers since I took job and both have been divorced, I bet due to the job.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
