Pros

I had a very easy going experience with the company. I worked with a Outside Sales Rep and our GM and it was like hanging with the guys every day. I did my job and had fun hanging with my co-workers. Customers were nice and easy going as well.

Cons

Pay sucked of course. It is a very monotonous job and the room for growth is very lateral and not worth the terrible pay and minor opportunity for elevation.

Pros

The benefits are good, for what you pay. Other employees are usually good to work with. Employee discounts, mostly good. For the drivers, if you can get seniority & put in a bid for a route you want, the drive time can be worth it.

Cons

Management is consistently changing, hub management changed 6 times in the 9 years I was there. Management does not like to hear driver imput about routes or feedback about stores. No 401K match anymore. Christmas bonus is a box of junk food & a letter. No drug tests for anyone except drivers.
