Pros

Opportunity for someone with few skills to work a lot of hours and receive an okay paycheck. They hire mostly college students over the summer. Fairly relaxed corporate culture.

Cons

Memorial Day/4th of July weekends & heatwaves, you are expected to work at least 12 hours, to up to 16 hours per day, back to back. Some guys even worked from 7am-2am a few days! The end of your shift is until finished, so you could work from 7am-10pm depending if they give you a ton of stores with lots of driving. The best I averaged was only $13 an hour during a week, most of the time it was between $11-12, not the $14/hour they advertise. Trucks towards the end of summer kept breaking down, left me stranded for 2 hours one time and since it's commission based I wasn't getting paid for sitting around. I was never at a weigh station but fully loaded with 9 skids of ice the truck had to be over 26,000 pounds and you would need a cdl license, but the company is too cheap to hire drivers with a cdl and comply with the hourly driving restrictions that come with a cdl.

Pros

Fast paced and if you’re mechanically inclined it’s lots of fun coming to work and watching the employees grown and help each other meet the aspects. By the end of the year it’s never fun to see the season end

Cons

First week you will get sore
