Pros

Could be a good place if management actually cared about retaining great staff as they say. Work isn't hard. Co-workers decent to work with.

Cons

Giving 1 driver 26 routes or even 13 when there are workers walking around the warehouse. Managers look out for themselves. Over works best workers because they figure they can handle it. Currently 4 employees preparing to actively seek other employment. While they like the work - seniority doesn't matter. The pay isn't worth it. Buying donuts does nothing but add to the waist line. Sales people are babies and don't carry their own load and puts selling off on drivers who have unrealistic stop times of 5 mins per stop when they customer wants to inspect and complain about minor stuff.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
