Pros

It most certainly beats getting up in the morning and not having a place to go to work to (maybe).

Cons

Changes are happening - you decide if the changes are for the better of for the worse. Just using ordering P.O.P. Signage for a store as an example: Old Way: Field Consultant would sent a request to the Market P.O.P. Coordinator, who would then place the order. New Way: Field Consultant creates an online case which is sent to Dallas. Dallas then sends the request to the Market Manager for approval (by the way, the Market Manager is the Field Consultant's Immediate Supervisor). The Market Manager then forwards the request to the Zone Manager for approval ("Zone Manager" is essentially a position that was formerly held by a Divisional Vice President). The Zone Manager forwards the request to the Senior Vice President for approval (there are two Senior Vice Presidents; one covering the Eastern US; the other covering the Western US). The Senior Vice President then sends the request back to Dallas, and the order gets placed. It is very scary to know that a Senior Vice President (who is responsible for 3,000+ stores) has to approve a request for a Slurpee Sign!

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Steady hours, free drinks, meet an assortment of people, repetitive customers that you get to know and like

Cons

Low pay, bad benefits, and mostly working by yourself unless you're first shift, and then only on weekdays.
