Pros

On the road most the time Low stress most the time 98% of the coworkers are cool Short hours Steady schedule Good retirement if you get FT and put in money Promote within

Cons

Lifting heavy buckets of paint when not driving Sometimes deal with rude contractors Vague directions on the device, or no contact info so you can't get a hold of customer when you arrive. Some managers make you do side missions so your routes take longer Some managers expect you to help out in the store if its a slow day for driving, but won't help you out when you're busy and the store isn't Sometimes lazy co workers Hard to get full time or benefits without transferring stores Upper management is out of touch Will work you 6 days a week, but still 40 hours so they don't pay OT Part timers can work 5 days a week at 25 hours

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
