Pros

Supportive co-workers who genuinely want to help you grow within the company.

Cons

1.You only get 4 days off for the entire year—sick days and vacation combined! So if you take a vacation and get sick a few months later, tough luck for you. If you can’t come in, they will straight-up fire you. No exceptions. 2.The work is brutal. You’re breaking your back every day, and those routes will wear you down fast so good luck to when you get older and can’t play with your kids. 3. Management acts like they care about you, but it’s all fake. The turnover rate is through the roof because people are either quitting or getting fired left and right. They do not care about you!

Pros

4 day work week and informed training

Cons

As an SSR, you're responsible for a lot; customer complaints, product shortages, bill discrepancies, customers that are in your face yelling/swearing. You are expected to give out your personal cell and email. With the average SSR having over 100 weekly clients, that's a lot of phone calls and emails, while you're already working a busy and physical job. They also claim you can make all these different bonuses. A lot of those bonuses are very small and capped. While I was there, I witnessed SSR's purposely overcharge clients on invoices just so that they could hit their numbers to attain a bonus. I did not enjoy having to have the same conversation over and over with clients that were overcharged.
