Pros

The pay is the only pro here

Cons

Overworked, management seems to make their own rules & incorporates old rules to benefit them, not enough staffing, the only way to get a day off is to call in, you will definitely be working 6 days in a row & only have 1 day off, say goodbye to any "real" days off if you work 3rd shift! You work so much you make yourself sick. It's the same people over & over being forced to work, the people who have senority work overtime the least, things are not fixed at this company, everything just gets "bandaid" until someone gets hurt. Maintenance is the worst here, they get upset & vocal when they are called to look at anything. Half of the time they don't even show up. They say they complete orders without them actually completing them. You basically struggle all day with what you're givin to work with. You have people making rules that can't even go out on the floor & run a machine for 2 seconds. They pick & choose when to worry about a quality issue/concern. Management would rather their facility to look nice than to actually invest in the thing that actually makes the big bucks which is their machines! Nothing is done here with any thought if the employee. They continue to add extra things on you as if you're not already overwhelmed by the things you already have to do. They don't care about you @ all or your well being. You will be just another number to them!

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.
