Pros

Health benefits are pretty good

Cons

Geolocation time card tracking make it feel like big brother is always watching. They cycle through horrible campus hire interns turned managers, so there is always some new inexperienced person trying to make an impact but they usually burnout. They don’t hire within, they pretend they do but look around and realize everyone has been in their position for years or decades. They used to have managers for each department sales, deliveries, warehouse, merchandisers etc. but now they manage for different districts and it’s a nightmare for everyone. Your manager won’t help you because they won’t know how. They aren’t familiar with the handheld, DOT regulations, merchandise process, it’s impossible to know it all. So they usually lie a lot, I don’t blame them but it’s a mess. This job is a boring dystopia.

Pros

Pay is ok and great benefits.

Cons

No work life balance. Held accountable for more and more and way too much micro managing lately. Routes are uneven some heavy and some baby routes. Routes run 7 days a week while other vendors dont. You work every holiday except Christmas unless a holiday is on your day off. Plus you work every weekend you work unless your one of the lucky ones. And if something happens in your personal life you have to deal with it after working long hours too much of a pain to call in. They love to say you will be held accountable as its almost a threat.
