Pros

There aren't any pros to this company at all.

Cons

This company is a 10+ Billion Dollar company would takes away the standard IRS mileage rate for individuals who travel and utilize their own cars from the .53 cents a mile down to 0.09 cents a mile. Accordingly, in the IRS Notice 2016-79, section 3, it states the following: "The standard mileage rate for transportation or travel expenses is 53.5 cents per mile for all miles of business use (business standard mileage rate). See section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2010-51." Also Section 4 states the following: "For automobiles a taxpayer uses for business purposes, the portion of the business standard mileage rate treated as depreciation is 23 cents per mile for 2013, 22 cents per mile for 2014, 24 cents per mile for 2015, 24 cents per mile for 2016, and 25 cents per mile for 2017." In addition to not using the IRS table, we are expected to use our own cars, because Core Mark felt that the needed to get rid of the company cars, because it was costing too much money to repair them. Well what about my car? We are not offered any kind of reimbursements or incentives for using our own cars and the wear and tear of the extensive traveling that we do to set up convenience stores with merchandise. I travel from Oxford, down to Louisiana, over to Arkansas, into Tennessee, back down to Louisiana in one week. Do the math...it doesn't add up and I am the one that looses money, not the company.

Pros

There are not many pros for management, but it is a union, so wages are high for drivers and warehouse staff. Lots of new personnel and opportunities in future if turn attitude around.

Cons

The company's finances and attitude is very negative and blaming it on overtime for drivers and warehouse. On a termination rampage now and management is not holding themselves accountable for the loss. Management is trying to fix the issues with disciplinary, threatening methods, not positive coaching, motivation or encouragement. Unfortunately when hired they expect you to change the problems in a week with no formal training at the location. The onboarding process is very demanding, not welcoming and you get a lot of information very fast for their warehouse operations and expected to go back and apply it. It is not the same operation and equipment is very poor, don't have proper computers or programs don't open up with poor internet service. Lack of training and support from managent is a big problem. Communication if the worst I ever experienced in many years of my supervisory experience. There is much work to be done here to get the operation up to a satisfactory level with compliance and customer service. The processes and procedures that were in place were shocking to say and sets you up to fail from get go.
