Pros

Great culture Great support Excellent teamwork Customer comes first Management is accessible at every level and Listens! After working for the biggest food distributor out there, I believed that all food distributors were the same. NOT the case! This company is focused on 2 things, support sales and support customers. EVERY action is focused on these 2 priorities! They live it from customer service, to purchasing , to the drivers, who are excellent and know the customer just as well as the reps do!

Cons

Could have more splits available
