AVOID - Don't fall for this if you're coming out of college

Business Outlook

Pros

Can always take some chips home from off the truck and no one will care

Cons

Will put you on salary then require you to work almost 60 hrs a week. Management will make up little stuff to get on you about. God forbid just one bag of chips is turned the wrong way and doesn't look pretty enough on the shelf Will come to your university and promise all sorts of things about being a sales manager after you graduate. Then will make you and treat you like just another driver and never give you the position you signed up for. Wake up at 2 AM everyday No work life balance whatsoever. And you will be working weekends and holidays. Low chance that you'll get the time off if you ask for it. The morale in the warehouse is so bad. Everyone seems to hate their life. Work with some very low iq individuals.

Need better pay system.

Pros

Good benefits and retirement for tenured employees.

Cons

Pay system is crap, used to be commissioned up to a few years ago until they implemented Performance Pay and ruined the job. Every aspect of the way they pay this is structured to their benefit. As a 29 year veteran, I’d never imagined things becoming this bad.
