Pros

No pros just obnoxious work with no help on it or support. Also no helper given if your cart route or whatever route anyone has too many stops to do by yourself or themselves.

Cons

Awful management. Didn't really get any training there and expected you do get a large route done without the proper vehicle or resources you need to get it done. I was stressed, nervous anxious everyday trying to figure out how I'm going to get it done with the vehicle that's the wrong size and not getting help. Also got picked on by other drivers because I was different and younger. I was also bullied by the ops manager and humiliated by a supervisor. They were afraid to let a younger person drive a big truck, but it was because they didn't like me and I knew it, but I didn't do anything to deserve being treated like that. I was sterotyped because of my age and the fact I was from a different environment.

Pros

We used to have to come in every morning and stay in the office for at least an hour, then go out into the field, come back at least an hour before 5pm and stay in the office. They changed it so we only have to come in in the morning and it's so much nicer.

Cons

I really didn't get along with the sales manager. On my first day, the manager who hired me announced he was leaving. About two weeks into my employment, the new sales manager wanted to make crazy changes to show his authority. It went downhill from there. He made major cutbacks and the things he kept where supposed to be thought of as gifts, such as bottled water.
