Pros

Lots of upward mobility, great culture, many awesome people to work with. GMs in many branches will be retiring soon, leaving room for new blood. You will learn many great things about managing a team and business that will come in handy down the road. They were very up front: "the District Manager role is the most difficult position in this company." Can confirm. It is also the first level of management. Delivery staff (RSR) are paid commission, not hourly, and can go home whenever deliveries are complete. Great pay/work ratio. Excellent training for this role. Almost all RSR staff at my branch have been there 20+ years. A healthy, organized person with people skills will do very well here.

Cons

As a manager, you will work long hours, consistently. Stress is there, and you will at times be asked to cover delivery routes on top of your duties. might be for a day or months, depending on staffing. Pay is not great, time off will be almost impossible to get unless booked months in advance, and even then the odds arent good. One sick person can cancel your vacation (possibly). They try not to do that though. As an RSR, the physical part is heavy. There is a lot to know and be on top of, as these are your customers, not just random delivery stops. Good or bad, the RSR is accountable for the service given to customers.

Pros

Union Health Benefits, pay is decent but has been unchanged for over a decade despite cost of living going up year after year - that's about it.

Cons

Management is inept from the GM down in Atlanta and their depots. You will be short product every single day without exception and you will be expected to return that product to the customers UNCOMPENSATED and if you can't take the product back you will be forced to credit it off and won't get paid for the missing product (It isn't your fault and you still don't get paid for it, that's how little the company thinks of the drivers). The aging fleet is in terrible shape (The service van in Macon has 450k+ miles, the doors are held closed by fence latches screwed to the outside of the doors and the headlights are zip tied in place, it sat at the office for over a year needing a transmission, this is the level of care the company has) and the company has no budget to repair them correctly. The company would rather send a fleet maintenance guy down 10 times to put a bandaid on the truck rather than send it to a facility with technicians who actually know what they're doing and have it repaired correctly. (Because if the truck breaks down its still the drivers responsibility to complete the route so they dont really care if the trucks run or not, its not their time being wasted) They have bought a few new trucks that are somehow worse than the trucks with 300k+ miles on them. New trucks are smaller, underpowered and often come without shelves or storage for dirty product, which is on brand for not caring about the drivers. Teamsters Union is a joke, I have worked under 3 contracts now and haven't received a single raise, extra day off, nothing. When we asked for more money the company refused and we had to vote on a strike, the company knows most drivers can't afford to go on strike so it went the companies way and pay remains stagnant. Start times are between 1AM and 3AM most days and if you don't like it in the words of the Atlanta GM "You should look for another job". Training is nonexistent, I have held 3 different positions in my office and received ZERO training for any of them, including District Manager. Everything I learned at Alsco I figured out on my own through trial and error. In conclusion if you want to trade your mental health, physical health and home life for good health benefits and stagnant pay this is the job for you! (Don't even think about filing a grievance either, no one at Alsco rocks the boat and they all know why...retaliation to the point of termination is the name of the game because rules only apply when management wants them to apply)
