Deplorable store conditions

Pros

The pay was good after 18 years of terrible stress and back breaking work with a tiny staff due to corporate greed.

Cons

After 18 years the company has gotten so much worse and so embarrassing to work for as most stores are in deplorable conditions .Even after my last store in Venice was remodeled. It was a dirty disaster and I was expected to open with filthy and dangerously slippery floors after so called remodel.

Pros

Good money straight out of CDL school, but you are definitely earning it through 100% touch freight.

Cons

Lots of back roads and rural driving. They don't always salt driveways at stores for deliveries during the wintertime.
