Pros

Nice customers. Weekly pay. Nice co-workers.

Cons

Low pay. I never got a raise after being there for 4 years. Poor management. Employees were blamed for everything. It's our fault that the sales are down, it's our fault that we got a low clean score. Frequent mandatory store meetings that were all basically the same: everybody is lazy, if you don't start working harder, we will fire you and find someone else that will work harder. Nobody is getting raises because sales are down, or because people are ordering too much product or because nobody deserves one. High turnover. Almost everybody gets fired within one year. No opportunity to advance. This is a dead end job.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
