Pros

Leader in food service industry Wide variety of products and services. Competitive pricing for customer base.

Cons

Restructuring has changed this company to profit over people making employees with years of loyalty feel that they can be replaced at any moment. On call 24/7 with little work life balance Pay raise is not given on merit performance to compensate for cost of living, inflation, etc... Every year is standard 2% regardless of how much business you brought in for the company.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
