Pros

Decent pay. Weekend off. Benefits ok. Cool holiday pot lucks. The company is 90 yrs old and this is the only good thing I can think that is good.

Cons

You will not get commission that is promised. The manager is old fashion and is not up tonoar with current sales tactics. He thinks he knows everything. His assistant, or supervisor runs the department and trains. Not a fun place you look forward to coming too everyday. I do not recommend. I personally am looking for other opportunities.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great

Cons

Micromanaged environment. You are scared to interact with your coworkers outside of break time. You feel like a telemarketer-you cannot be a true salesman reading someone else words that are written for you. TOO MANY FALSE PROMISES-he will tell you that many people from the Inside Sales department goes to the outside sales. Well that is not true. Management does not have college degrees. It is a good company to start, but the fire for the job goes out quickly when dealing with the various rules and regulations established at the job. Does not recommend to anyone who has been in the corporate world for more than a year. Great job to get experience, but you will not go anywhere past this.

Pros

Benifits , pay , bottled water , good hand soap.

Cons

Long hours 12-14 hours, must eat dinner in truck , freight all mixed up & damaged , manager don't care . Dangerous deliveries to Residential areas . Running all over the Bay Area when routes can be more organized. Jumping from one side of the bay to the other . So many deliveries the customers are closed by the time I get there , then when we finally get there they are so MAD , drive cams no privacy, getting pulled into office all the time is crazy because they say I'm following too close , ive had no accidents in almost 3 decades .
