Pros

-Excellent benefits -15 days off first 4 years + any additional days given -Pay seems really good at first, but compared to other on-call jobs, not THAT good -Great 401K match -Potential room for growth in field sales roles (not linear though, don't even dream of corporate). -Flexible hours, if you get lucky and don't get a ton of calls from your RSR team -Management experience

Cons

-On call 24/7 including more than half of yearly weekends -On call for holidays (forget going home for Christmas) -No overtime (even when you work 60-70h weeks) -Scapegoat for many problems out of your control -Have to drive a 30 ft bulk truck + smaller route truck wayyyy more often than you'd think -Absolutely 0 work life balance -Should be paid 10-15K more at least upon promotion from Sales Management Trainee to DSL -Often doing other jobs than your own - merchandising stores, cleaning up people's messes, building pallets in the warehouse -Not a job for you if you want a corporate/desk job

Honestly it was great at first i was happy i could have a good career and almost a month came it seem like i was being harrased for not being fast enough i worked hard never missed a day but i only work 3 days at week had a employee follow me everywhere like a puppy tell me too hurry up so he can leave early same with my bosses they treat me same way I went too lunch and got the same treatment about my performance not being good enough i left last week july 13th i called in office too be told i am too slow and if I dont change my ways they will let me go i felt wrong and discouraged like nothing i was only trained 2 days i was just finally getting fast .
