Pros

Interesting customers both retail and commercial. Had a good crew that were employed for years and over 40% have been promoted since I left the company.

Cons

Some district manager are good and some are bad. Three different district managers were reasonable and strict. Fourth distict managers fired me after beating average store growth by 300 percent each year for JOB PERFORMANCE!

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
