Pros

Note that this job isn't probably a long-term job, because of the hours, but generally speaking I gained so much skills and experience with this job. I worked there 2 years. -I was apart of a district that won a lot of awards, so despite other reviews criticizing this, but honestly I didn't think coworkers and I did that much extra work. -Great Training in the Food Safety and Quality Control -Great job for someone who looking for an entry job in food science/food safety -Travel multiple locations, I probably traveled to ten different states in my two year stay -Make My own Schedule, so if you need to make have a doctors appointment, it's easy schedule around it, so you don't have to take PTO. -Great PTO, I don't remember exactly how many days, but think I took a four day vacation, and in the summer I -Company Car -Bonuses around $1k a quarter [this initially was only like $300-$500 a month, but luckily they did increase this while I was working there] -Only work one weekend a month -Clocking in the phone. They didn't really question your hours. They tell you clock in thirty miles from your home, but I clocked in the moment I left the house, and I didn't clock out until my shoes were off. -Not too many rude people. Despite horror stories, I didn't deal with any rude restaurants/managers/customers. I have bad anxiety an couldn't deal with customers.

Cons

-Travel and long hours: Even though I put this in pros, just be prepared to travel from 8am-8pm everyday (although I was pretty good at getting done early some Fridays}. You probably will assess 4-6 restaurants a day, the rest of the day, you are traveling. -Note they say you have travel one week each month on an assist trips to another state, but luckily when I left, it was maybe seven or eight months of the year. -pay MAKE SURE YOU ARGUE for at least a dollar more, you definitely deserve more than what they're offering. -Car get's taxed. The goverment taxes everything associate with that car, including gas they provided, the time, and it feels like sometimes the enjoyment of having company car. I ended owing on my taxes every year I worked there. -A lot of travel 40% of the time an 1 hour from my home 40% of the time an 1.5 hour from my home 10% within my own city 10% of the time would be outside my state -- a lot of time neighboring states, so I'd have to drive, not fly. I would say I flew 5X-6X a year

Pros

Bonus point for flights and hotels that the employees get to accumulate

Cons

You will be so tired from travelling that you won't know which way is up or down! They run you ragged and when you make a mistake its "That was a BIG mistake, sorry you're fired." They are not working for the companies that hire them, they are actually working against them. Instead of teaching the clients proper procedures, if your metrics aren't high enough, you're OUT! Steritech is in it for the money, if only the hiring corporations would open their eyes and see it's just a money gimmick! Regional and Area managers should be ashamed of what they are promoting with their employees.
