Pros

Excessive amount of overtime (≈20-30hrs/week) which translates into a decent paycheck.

Cons

Zero work/life balance. Drivers routinely work 60-70hr, 6days/week because the business is chronically understaffed. The disturbingly high turnover is a result of management being just plain bad at their jobs. The poor performance of the management is tolerated by the company because all employees in positions of authority are either directly related to the family that owns the company or is a personal friend of a family member. This company is proof that nepotism is not an effective business management strategy.

Pros

The bar is VERY low. They'll hire anybody. Enough people leave the company often enough that almost all you have to do is show up and your job is secured. If you need easy hours and you have no aspirations to move up, this is the place for you.

Cons

The bar is VERY low, but so is the ceiling. In my three years with the company I only ever saw ONE person promoted past entry-level, while I estimate I probably saw 200 people come and go very quickly. Management is a joke. I saw seven managers quit or be fired in my time there. All but one was replaced by somebody from outside the company. And contrary to what they'll tell you, there is no official position between entry-level and management. You're either a 'selector' or a manager. We frequently would go many hours without breaks. As many as five hours. That's FIVE hours between breaks on a 14 hour shift. Is that even legal? If not, they don't care. There's barely an HR department to report any of it to. HR quits seemingly as frequently as anybody else there does.
