Pros

Each site is tan independently, allows each site to do what is best for them as well as support local community.

Cons

Could have terrible management at site level and next couple of rungs that make it impossible for growth both for the company and employees.

Pros

For the most part they are team oriented; co-workers are friendly and easy to work with; Starting pay is good; benefits available after your first 90 days. Winter hours are decent, summer hours are long, but over-time Is covered

Cons

What once was a family and team oriented business is now very corporate. Routes are not guaranteed. Expect to be riding on the back of a truck a majority of the time. Strict driving requirements can leave you feeling like you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Training is poor and inconsistent.

Pros

Great company, there is room to advance if your work ethic is good, to many people these days just don't have that ethic

Cons

Having to work or cover others whose work ethic isn't the best
