Pros

There is nothing good about this company, they are the totally unprofessional and have no idea what they are doing!

Cons

Everything! I have been working for this company for 4 years never saw a raise. One week they are cutting your hours below 40 the next week you are working 65. Upper management knows nothing about cash vaults, hired in last 2 years no experience and only cares about bottom line numbers fires half the staff and expects work to be done in same amount of time. Complains and cusses you out when production takes longer with fewer employees.

Pros

Almost all of your co-workers are nice and helpful. The pay is decent. If you like not having a life, then this job is for you. Customers give you free stuff sometimes.

Cons

Management. I was a model employee for 4 years. I never once complained about a route or a partner, regardless of the situation. I was almost always early and I knew the job inside and out. I volunteered my time after my route was completed to help out sometimes. I was never in trouble and never received a write up. And I WAS NEVER PROMOTED. I wanted to be a full time crew leader and it never happened. I wanted to be a route supervisor and it never happened. It also took me more than 6 months to receive an expense reimbursement because management dragged their feet. Trucks are awful and poorly maintained. Employees are overworked. Supervisors are almost always goldbricking when it comes to doing their job or going out on the road when necessary. Management will play favorites. Incompetent employees receive preferential treatment by remaining in positions that should be awarded to those who actually work hard and know the job.

Pros

Not many, but it is a job, sort of. You do have Benefits, but they change every year.

Cons

Learned that there will be large layoffs at the end of February. Seems to be cyclical. Management bring in new people for a year or two to run the business, let them go and then layoff a mass of good employees. Then 2 months later, start hiring new people. No reason given for the mass layoffs other than it is necessary. Always looking over your shoulder for the pink slip.
