Pros

-Union contract -Decent pay for work done -Occasional free alcohol (mostly around holidays) -Relatively hands off management -Health insurance is affordable and quite good -4 day work week with weekends off

Cons

-Long days (often approaching DOT maximums of 14 hours-regularly 12+). -Heavy workload. Regularly delivering 550+ cases of beer+spirits and 20+ kegs. It’s hard, physically demanding work that takes a toll on your body. -Routing can sometimes screw up and you end up driving back and forth all over town all day. You don’t have any real control over how your route is scheduled, and you just have to deliver whatever, whenever, and wherever they tell you to and just figure it out. They have you going to a liquor store at 8 but it doesn’t open until 9, welp hope you like waiting. -Union contract needs better language in regards to working conditions. It’s mostly about compensation at this point. -Truck repairs are not always done as quickly as I would like, especially when they aren’t immediate safety issues.
