Pros

Depending on your role fairly flexible hours Fairly decent pay although I haven't had a raise in several years because I have reached the "max".

Cons

Rather than deal with incompetent employees they are either moved to other departments or if you are in a leadership role and worthless you are "promoted" to another facility. Way understaffed or work is unfairly distributed Since the conversion to SAP it takes 2-3 people to do the same thing that one was able to do before. SOX is out of control Management needs to manage. Constantly telling us we need to come up with cost savings but employees sit in the cafeteria for hours and then get paid OT to do their jobs. Tired of hearing that we are working with adults and they know what they are suppose to be doing. They aren't doing it so someone needs to make them. Why can't management figure that out?? Way too much to do for salaried folks but their "reward" is a mandatory offsite meeting for half a day to have fun. Kind of hard to have fun when you then have to be there for 12 -14 hours the next day to make up for it

Pros

Pay is better than most DSD companies Benefits are still pretty good Long-term relationships built with co-workers and customers Security of a nationally known company with good products Competitive environment

Cons

Work/life balance is preached but not readily seen Working every holiday except for Thanksgiving and Christmas cause a lot of missed family gatherings Benefits are declining from what they were years ago Expectations are unrealistic at times in role-responsible for many thing out of control span Changing culture to expand talent pool has limited promotional opportunities from within Pay while better than most DSD companies does not equate to responsibilities and time invested Everyone above DSL role has their priorities that are dumped off on DSL and field
