Pros

Free doughnuts, weekly pay, decent benefits for full-time employees, meeting great clients on routes.

Cons

NO work-life balance for wholesale division (route sales), change in pay structure = FAR less pay with the same amount of effort, upper management arbitrarily decides to throw corporate merchandising guidelines out of the window at the drop of a hat, no room for advancement, on-premise management relies on fear tactics and negative reinforcement rather than praise and positive reinforcement.
