Pros

decent pay for the hours that you work. Outstanding group of worker bees while the management was somewhat clueless...... because of hiring from outside the industry for middle management positions.

Cons

The entire company (distribution, production, and sales) were micro managed to death. 12 years of experience and no voice in day to day decisions. Middle manager that I reported to either couldn't or wouldn't think for himself and would not make a decision without getting approval from everyone that would listen.

Pros

Decent benefits, good time off accumulated. Nice working Monday through Friday and holidays off. For a truck driver it is a good schedule

Cons

Wow, where to start. The company is in a death spiral. The over hiring of management and middle managers is so ridiculous it is ridiculous. Their are store manager, that manager has a manager and then there are another 3 or 4 in Sacramento. The company cares so little for its employees entire stores have walked out. Employees just have had enough and we are leaving in droves. I am desperately looking for another job, DESPERATELY! That is after 12 years. Up until about 3-4 years ago it was a decent enough job. Then SAP was brought in and what little common sense was used died a horrible death. Hitler in disguise and management skills are bullying, belligerent, threats, intimidation, fear, yelling, cursing and any other thing you can think of to treat those of us that actually deal with the customers as road kill and the trash of man kind. Yea, I start dreading Monday on Friday night.
