Pros

The position assists reps into establishing a relationships on multiple platforms from distributors to customers.

The company is evolving to talking heads and wants all employees to have the same attributes. If your an outgoing sales representative. This is not the organization for you.

Pros

We are provided with opportunities to learn and apply new skills. We are encouraged to grow our strengths rather than focus on "opportunities for growth". Allowing our strengths to excel our careers. People are smart and are able to get things done. People are willing to share information and mentor others. Volunteering within the communities we live are encouraged and supported. We are able to volunteer during our workday as well as through organized community outreach efforts.

Cons

The food industry as a whole is struggling, because of this we've gone through a lot of change. Lost co-workers to lay offs and are generally in cost cutting mode all the time. We have the same amount, if not more work to do with less people.
