Pros

They are struggling to get people to work in their manufacturing plants. So, if you are willing to and you have a degree, enjoy the comfortable salary that they use to get people in. Their corporate office is full of talkers too - so, if you love coming to work to chat around and do little actual work, you'll enjoy this place.

Cons

Lots of favoritisms. The place is great for people who like to talk a lot and show off. Lousy structure. You will see many young kids who lack experience holding big job titles like directors and senior managers. Even HR has people who look like they are still in school and lack knowledge. Many internal promotions are based on who knows who. If you are a highly capable specialist, they will recognize you but they will also overwork you and these incompetent higher ups will dump a lot of work on you in the name of growth or development opportunities.

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.
