Pros

Get to have snacks that are defective (seals and containers broken) to eat. Get to drive a truck, I guess.

Cons

Driver manager sucked. Especially the old driver manager. Make jokes about you and talk crap behind your back. Stuff you could report to HR but you would have to go straight to HR or else it would never be reported. New guy sucks too, acts "tough" and looks like they'll go power tripping. Hard work and fast paced, with low pay. Making more now sitting around on a computer. Upper management would promise things but never follow through. Always praise about how much was made this quarter and that quarter, but wouldn't use any excess towards drivers. A lot of benefits have been taken away from years ago. Management is told to leave reviews here to make it look nice, I know because I heard one complaining about having to do so. Sales position isnt great as well, favoritism and seniority over events, long hours. Warehouse work is too much and disorganized. Shipments come in late sometimes and goods are damaged. Driver position is worst, turnover is ridiculous. People just training don't even last the training period or two weeks after.

Pros

I made good money when I worked there. For the most part I managed myself without a lot of micro-management. Bonus & Commission pay allows those that work harder to make more money! Good product and great service for the customer.

Cons

Graveyard shifts and 10-12 hours a day. No holidays off and good luck actually using your vacation time. Lack of proper maintenance on equipment so trucks are always breaking down. The company more occupied with blame and battling past issues than preventing future problems. Constant attrition forces other employees to always pick up extra work on top of their own, without any extra pay incentive. Seems that there was an semi-annual pay restructuring that cut your pay and changed bonus and commission parameters that required even more work to make the same money. This company is all about the numbers and doesn't care about the individual employee. Good job Six-Sigma!!
