Pros

Not alot to put here,changed everything up and took half our pay by splitting routes people have been on for years,trying to lie and say you can make it up ither ways,which is a lie been here longer then the morons in charge so can't lie to me,Drugs are all the bosses care about,Hr does nothing when they are notified about the drug problems,don't want people who make bad decisions for themselves to be in charge of making my decisions for me,also don't think you will ever be promoted to manager because they are doing away with those positions,trust me just got let go after managing for 20 yrs,place us a DEI headquarters,I want nothing to do with this company and either should you
