Pros

*You can make your own schedule after the first couple years of building your book of business. *My therapist costs less than $30 per session with Sysco insurance, which is great. But I also need a therapist because I work here. *Getting hired will be fairly easy since everyone currently employed is trying to leave or have already left. This may be a good option for you if you're trying to break into sales and need the experience on your resume. They will hire virtually anyone.

Cons

The company does not hide that they do not value you. Corporate loves to use confusing and uplifting corporate lingo to "soften the blow" of reducing benefits and cutting our salary by 10+%. The new bonus metric they rolled out is simple- bend our customers over and sell products at an extreme margin if we want to make our bonus and recoup the 10% salary cut. The base pay is now an unlivable wage in my region. Our stock has also plummeted.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
