Pros

Good pay for skill-set required

Cons

You will work 12-14 hours per day, 5-days per week. There is no work-life balance. Management only cares about making sales plan quota. You only get 2 weeks of paid vacation for the first 5 years and you must take a whole week off at a time AND you have to bid for your week off. The senior people all take the desirable weeks off so you are left taking weeks off when you don't want to go on vacation. You will work every holiday except for Thanksgiving and Christmas so you will not get to spend much time with extended family.

Pros

Pay is ok and great benefits.

Cons

No work life balance. Held accountable for more and more and way too much micro managing lately. Routes are uneven some heavy and some baby routes. Routes run 7 days a week while other vendors dont. You work every holiday except Christmas unless a holiday is on your day off. Plus you work every weekend you work unless your one of the lucky ones. And if something happens in your personal life you have to deal with it after working long hours too much of a pain to call in. They love to say you will be held accountable as its almost a threat.
