Pros

-Excellent benefits -15 days off first 4 years + any additional days given -Pay seems really good at first, but compared to other on-call jobs, not THAT good -Great 401K match -Potential room for growth in field sales roles (not linear though, don't even dream of corporate). -Flexible hours, if you get lucky and don't get a ton of calls from your RSR team -Management experience

Cons

-On call 24/7 including more than half of yearly weekends -On call for holidays (forget going home for Christmas) -No overtime (even when you work 60-70h weeks) -Scapegoat for many problems out of your control -Have to drive a 30 ft bulk truck + smaller route truck wayyyy more often than you'd think -Absolutely 0 work life balance -Should be paid 10-15K more at least upon promotion from Sales Management Trainee to DSL -Often doing other jobs than your own - merchandising stores, cleaning up people's messes, building pallets in the warehouse -Not a job for you if you want a corporate/desk job

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.
