Pros

As a vendor at the Dillon DC for the past 3 years I can vouch that this is a challenging but, rewarding environment to work in. The team is close knit bunch with a family like structure. The whole distribution network works closely between all facilities to make sure the stores receive the best experience possible. The Dillon DC is becoming one of the nicest facilities I have ever been apart of. Everyone is treated fairly from dock workers and processors to area managers and senior level personnel. The company has great benefit opportunities and a large pay scale for all. How great is it they you never hear of problems only opportunity!

Cons

Remember challenging from the pros section? I do mean challenging but, overall you get what you put in. Don't expect a easy street environment. Making sure the juice is worth the squeeze is big here so prepare to work hard for the large rewards.

Terrible Place

Pros

The pay (depending on position). It's a job.

Cons

The pay. This is a billion dollar company and they can't pay their associates well, but the managers get bonus checks every month. 60% of the managers are morons and will screw you over every chance they get. The price changes are the worst things ever, so tedious and such a waste of time. The truck process is ridiculously stupid. This company expects sooo much, but does nothing to help make things easier, especially for the struggling stores.

Pros

Some nice people to work with.

Cons

Pay is low for what's expected. Was told I would get a certain amount and didn't get it. Been there almost 3 years and between to raises and a promotion haven't even made a dollar.
