Pros

Pay is the only thing good here

Cons

I worked there for more than 4 years, pay and work restructuring twice, always benefitted the bottom line. Unless you get hired into management expect to get treated like you are easily replaceable. Used to get paid for what you sold, now they have a sales plan that is usually unreachable without overselling your accounts. Prepare to be managed by children, hardly out of college. If you question management, they will retaliate by not helping you meet sales plan, and/or trying to get you in trouble. My wife was sick, I was with her at the hospital and two supervisors ran my route, looking for something wrong to discipline me. They do not care about people. One time they adjusted my sales plan after the period was over. The effect was I did not make plan, and lost a $2,000 bonus, they said it was my fault for not making sure the plan was correct. . They wont follow through when you ask for help, so you have to babysit your supervisor. I could go on but what is the point. Unless you are desperate, keep looking, the money is not worth the misery.

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.
