Pros

Lots of hours if you have a five day route and if your truck is running unfortunately their trucks are unreliable and this week I only worked one day because they had no running truck available for me to drive.

Cons

If they don't have a running truck for you then you go home with no pay. They didn't tell me that I was being hired for a three day route. Ask before you take the job and be sure you are getting a five day route. Constant equipment failures. This week I only worked one day because they had no running trucks. Favoritism. If the supervisors favorite driver's truck breaks down he will give him your truck. If they have something for you to do you might make a couple of hours but usually they will send you home without pay.

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.
