Business Outlook

Pros

As an route sales rep you earn a decent annual salary. Most of the stores you service are good to work with. Fully employer funded pension (5 years min. service for any benefit, retirement after 30 years).

Cons

Long, long hours, 50-60 per week. Little flexibility in scheduling. Commission was very low in the slow seasons. When you divide hours worked by the weekly salary it often $15 per hour. Variable Rate Over Time (VROT) is a joke. Hours worked over 40 hours IS NOT paid at time and a half. Extra hours add very little to your paycheck. Say the job as running your own business, however, boss will micro-manage what you should do and make immature jokes about sleeping with your coworkers.
