Pros

The pay is good, benefits very good, diversity in accounts, spend most of workday away from management out on route. Day goes by fast.

Cons

Management by fear. The G.M and A.G.M. put otherwordly pressure on D.M. and route reps to achieve goals that only the top markets can realistically achieve. Leads to a feeling of hopelessness to succeed. Constant negativity from said management creates culture of failure leaving R.S.R. primarily focused on staying off bottom of performance matricites. Employee builds absolutely zero equity with company. If you struggle for even a quarter you lose your job. Zero chance of advancement in branch locations, available positions not even made known. Company is simply unethical with loss and ruin and price increases and leave R.S.R out to dry for it. Aramark will throw R.S.R under the bus whenever any large account shows discontent. G.M. quoted by mid management as saying "we can always find a way to blame the route rep".

Pros

~ Get to see a place many people save up a lot of money to visit ~ Easy to save the money you make as there are few places to spend it ~ Promotions are easy to get if you are a returning employee ~ Cost of living is less every time you come back ~ People are great for the most part - very friendly place!

Cons

~ Living situation: summer camp/dorms ~ Water went off at least 3 nights last summer ~ Rent and food cost are high - hard to make a lot of money ~ They cut hours significantly half-way through and started firing a lot of people - kind of fishy, not what you would expect the "most ethical" company to do
