Cons?? I worked at the Oklahoma City branch of this company, so lets start with the interview process. They lie. They lie straight to your face like a car sales man does to get you into finance and then you're out the door with a $75k car you cant afford when you just wanted to use the bathroom! They tell you in the interview you'll be 8-5 m-f and most days are 8hr days and it's so easy, we will even pay for you to get your gun!
Well its all a lie...They are so under staffed that most routes are doing the work of 3 routes, most days are 14hr day minimum, no lunch breaks (if you wanna get done at a decent time that is), and no they don't pay for your gun, you do and they say oh we will pay you back (i never saw that money again). Because its a union thing, if you just started or even been there for a year good luck ever moving up.
Theres zero development or training because you're gone all day. The management there is some of the most incompetent personal I've ever seen attempting to run a branch of a company. Requesting time off for anything? it will always get denied which leaves you only to call in for things like doctors appointments or anything you've attempted to plan ahead for, if its an emergency and you do have to actually call out they will harasses you over the phone like you're such a bad person for getting sick and make you feel guilty for it and on top of it you only get 2 of those a quarter and then they write you up, 2 write ups and then your fired. so really don't get sick for more than days.
have a family outside of work? they don't care. at all. since they have given their lives for a job they expect you to do the same (even though management is getting paid a ton more to do that). There are many times in which the mornings are so backed up that your route may leave 2 hrs behind schedule which in OKC is now an almost daily occurrence and they still expect you to do all your stops without any accountability to their 2 hr screw up from that morning. You are allowed to drive up to 14hrs a day and managers have no problem making sure they get you as close as possible to that just to be worked to death. oh and also don't think for one minute well thats a lot of hours and i like over time and extra money. WRONG! you don't get over time until you work a 6th day! so you could work 120 hrs a week and they wouldn't bat an eye because they aren't gonna schedule you for that 6th day just so they don't have to pay out over time.
if you actually do ever get called in for over time or volunteer for it, say good bye to your life. why? because from there on out they fully expect you to always work those extra hours every week without complaining. all while managers are usually gone by 3 that day and thats if they actually showed up that day (which the night managers might for a couple of hours and then they leave).
understand one thing about this company: you are getting paid $12 an hr to risk your life for a $15 change order for some company or bank. So if you get shot or die for that money, they company or bank gets their money back the next day and you are still dead. all for $12. make a smarter choice and go work for 7-11 which has better benefits and pay starts at $13 an hr and you won't hate your life.
more con's? how about benefits...they go over the benefits with you, but yet forget to tell you when you can enroll for them or insurance and then you miss the deadline and then you cant enroll again till next year. wow thats convenient now they don't have to pay out that money either!
no matter what i will say this....go do any other job, i mean literally any other job than this one because you will be better off because of it. we had 13 people quit in a 3 month time frame. why? because its that bad. because managers don't know how to actually manage people, because they don't know how to take care of their own much less try and help them out.
This is by far the worst job and place of employment i have ever been at.
