Pros

- You get a family sized bag of the tastiest chips on the market every week. - Your meager paycheck clears. - Its a job if you have nothing else - Its tough to get fired

Cons

- The company seems to think this 21st century thing is going to blow over. The products names sound like store brands and the company new media advertising is nonexistent. - The resale items are a plight upon the RSPs. The warehouse loads the drivers up with boomerang products (warehouse, shelf, warehouse) then yells at drivers for returns on products that historically return. The beef jerky is off-brand jerky at above name brand prices. - 60+ hours a week - chronically understaffed because of the high turnover. If you are sick your truck will probably sit and they will most likely try to get you to work your day off to make up for it. - short codes are your problem - often feels like Nottingham thinks the companies ills stem from lazy work force not their failed programs or their below market wages - waste of time stops (>$20 a week) are the bulk not the exception on many NNJ routes

Pros

Good company if you're making them money.

Cons

Full time positions seems to be based on age and relatives already in full time positions. Self Insured. Hard to get full time if you are older.

Pros

If you are in need of a job take a position if offered, while you keep looking elsewhere.

Cons

Start $775 for 6 months, then reduced to $575 plus commission.(Max out at $650 weekly) Expect a minimum 60 hour work week.( longer in bad weather). Some reps are out 7 days a week. No lunch, eat while you drive to stops. Constant go, go, go. Load your truck and paperwork at the end of the day 60 minutes no extra pay. Monthly inventory 2 hours no extra pay. Extra $$$$ is earned by packing out markets on the weekend, you get to drive to the branch pick up a truck then go to your markets. Fill the shelves with product that you delivered during the week you earn $15.00 per store!!! You might leave your house 6am on a Sunday morning, get back at 11am, service 2 Markets and earn an extra $30 for your effort, so after taxes you earn an extra $24 for 4 hours of work on a Sunday. Very high turnover with Routes Sales and also their direct managers.
