Pros

Decent money. 50-60 hours a week. 2 days off in a row. Good benefits.

Cons

Routes vary. Good routes make for happy employees. Bad or heavy routes make for a very unhappy work experience. Bonuses are paid not off what you sell but how much you sell above what the company tells you you should sell. Has become very micromanaged.

Pros

Management in the Arlington Heights location is really easy going and very cool, they give you the assignments at the beginning of the shift and then basically leave you alone to work. You can take home chips that are being thrown away ... believe me the chips you can take home are perfectly fine .. the outter boxes were somehow damaged but the bags are intact and good for months. Weekly pay is great, and if you manage to survive the physical work then the insurance and benefits seem great

Cons

No formal training of any kind. First day you watch 3/4 hours of videos, and then your first actual work day, you are assigned to go with a co-worker and that's it. You don't even get told thru which door you are suppose to come in and out of. No instructions on breaks, lunches, or go home times. I was placed with a know it all employee who had only been there 3 months ... One must punch out and in on breaks and lunches which is fine, but super confusing system and was only properly explained once how to do it. No proper structure of how the work is suppose to be done. The turnover rate is astronomical at the Arlington Heights location, in the 2 weeks I was there 4 people quit making everyone job even harder. Was briefly told that it was a union job, but that's it ... no information was given, when i asked I was told after 90 days they would discuss that with me.

Pros

Decent pay GREAT benefits, get off early.

Cons

They play favorites, will send you to lake Charles Houston or mamou Louisiana to work at the drop of a hat, they don’t really care what you got going on outside of work they expect you to just drop everything and go, two of the supervisors are extremely rude and think the world revolves around them, one of the supervisors I just mentioned is inappropriate and has made sexual comments IN A MEETING FILLED WITH 20 EMPLOYEES HR GOT INVOLVED AND THE MAN STILL HAS A JOB. We was told by “HR” that we need to stop spreading rumors.. the rumor being what he said publicly. The supervisors are a joke. The environment is hostile. You’ll bring home $850 working 50 hours a week, working 40 you’ll bring home 650 your “true up” is usually an extra $200 once a month. And you get gas mileage they try to constantly cut you on all the time, oh and if they send you out of town and you need like idk a tooth brush cause you forgot yours, or a belt they won’t pay for it, but if you ask houston they say they do. So yeah. Management here is a joke 10/10 would not recommend.
