Pros

4 day work week and the same 3 days off every week. Long hours are ok because of it in busy months

Cons

To many to discuss. Management needs to stop treating their drivers in the horrible way they do. Upper local management has the attitude you don’t like the way the new local management runs things find a different job. Management works hard by turning drivers against each other. Pay is low for area. New employees are making same as seasoned employees. Local management does not care about employees or customers. Management makes hostile work environment. Management does not make delivery drivers follow SOP on delivery then writes up pickup driver. Management will tell you one thing then upper management writes people up for it.

Pros

Decent pay, met some cool people.

Cons

Mandatory overttime in the summer (if you can't handle the call volume then the call center isn't staffed properly. ) No job security, the company fired over 200 people immediately after the busy season was over in 2016. They cited performance and not enough sales, but the day before I got fired I had 1 sale away from being on the top 5 of the day. Before that I was getting around 10 a day which should of been fine. After doing the math, I made the company around $1m during my time on the phones over 1 year. They would monitor adherence like crazy. I would generally have a GRAND total of 6 min a day of bathroom time during an 8 hour shift and the next day have a paper with those times highlighted and told to improve.
