Pros

Good starting pay and benefits.

Cons

You read that right, folks. You would think that a reputable company would hold accountability to their policy and motto. But it means nothing to these crooked money grubbing penny pinchers who wouldn't lift a finger for change or to better the company. So, to be terminated after 2 and a half years of faithful hard working service over the fact that management wouldn't assess my situation was inhumane. No one should have to deal with daily harassment of any kind from anyone for any reason. Much less fired for bringing it to management's attention. Steer clear from this terrible company, do not be swayed by the good starting pay. You are just a number on a piece of paper. A route driver can make some decent money if he hustles, but do not expect help from anyone. If you're applying for the warehouse in Londonderry, NH good luck. First shift has some great people, but second shift is AWFUL! Especially the manager that's been there almost 20 years without advancing.... that speaks volumes in and of itself. You've been warned

Pros

Personal growth opportunities with managing frontline employees. Fun Co-Workers

Cons

no work life balance; even when you're on vacation your phone will ring and you'll be sent many texts. 24/7 on call. You will get phone calls anywhere from 1:30am to 11pm and hundreds of texts in between. The company does not give you a work phone so your personal number is used and abused by hundreds of people and businesses. No frontline support from HQ leadership, 14 hour days consistently, no real timeline to promote even if you're deemed promotable. In the many years I have been with the company in the role we were never fully staffed and it was very difficult to manage. Bonuses are very difficult to achieve with little relief or help. Frontline is unmotivated and doesn't want to work, when you have bad apples that need to be let go from the company HR will always take their side and it will be a painful 3-6 month process where you as the manager does all the work and takes all the blame. Not worth the pay or time time demand unless you are single and love to work 24/7 especially during all major holidays.

Pros

Weekly pay( if you work 50+ hrs), heath benefits, 401k savings.

Cons

Everything not listed above, even the supervisors. They bribe their workers into thinking they are appreciated, just to get their product delivered and stocked. When a store says cut back on product due to Frito having a lot of product in back stock you’re told to order more. So supervisors could meet plan for their salary, when it didn’t benefit the RSA who’s only filling in. They gossip, so don’t tell a supervisor confidential information because it’s not confidential the entire DC will know. RSR’s leave a lot undone, then it falls on the RSA you ask why they claim we are a “Team,” while also having to do your work.
