Pros

Flexibility, get to be out of an office environment and moving, most days you work on your own and set your own pace.

Cons

Strictly door to door sales and cold calling every day. Place and equipment is falling apart, managers micro-manage and critique on every detail of pointless admin work despite your numbers being good. Your constantly going to people who have used Central in the past and hate you. Company constantly rips off customers with damaged product and gets very clever with all of these rules as to why they can't reimburse the client. You'll constantly be threatened to be fired if your numbers peak or have a slow month. Turnover in this role is inevitable, the best sales people move to better companies and most people don't last a year. You're given a territory, but after awhile you're bound to run into a snag of limited opportunity where you have to keep calling on customers who don't want to use you again. My advice would be to avoid this position unless you have a burning desire to work in transportation and don't mind with answering to endless customer complaints.

We appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough review. We're sorry to read of your displeasure, and hope that you were able to provide further detail during your exit interview so that we can work towards improvement in terms of the administrative work you cited. Sales can be a challenging position, but we are confident that the more than $250 million we have invested in equipment and infrastructure, as well as the procedural advancements and customer based tariff changes speak for themselves. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Consistent Routes you get to know your customers. They have their own fueling station and mechanics. The Terminal managers and dispatchers were really great to work with. I like that they protect the employee if an issue arises with s customer.

Cons

All the trucks are the same but they all have their own personality. Some of the terminals csn be really dirty.
