      Pros

      Base pay is good if you can live on $500.00 a week before deductions. Co-workers are the best part of the job.

      Cons

      Commission structure sucks. You have to sell your butt off to make 1%. Hours are horrendous..they lie to you about how many you will put in. Hope you like working in thunder storms, hail, sleet, etc. All they care about are the numbers. God forbid you need time off! No life/work balance with this company. You are paid a salary and work 70+ hours a week. Then you get switched to hourly and your hours get reduced to a maximum of 30 if you're lucky. Most sales staff gets laid off instead. They micromanage you by tracking you with a GPS in your phone....better not have to go to the bathroom while you are out on your route! 5 employees quit during my first 3 days!!!

      Pros

      - Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

      Cons

      - Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
