Thank you for taking some time to provide feedback! It is so valuable for us to receive this feedback so we can continue to create the best work environment for our employees. I was hoping to address a few of your concerns. A large majority of our management started bagging ice and delivering ice. It is important that they understand the good parts of the job, and probably even more important, the challenges of the job. Our pay structure is designed to reward performance. The job is certainly not easy but there is an opportunity to earn well over minimum wage, in fact, the large number of our employees average double that. Please follow this link to see details on how to earn additional dollars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzMcidU-82A I would like to thank you for your service to Home City Ice and thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

Good money and the hours were great.

Cons

Lot of over time up to 70 hours a week sometimes and lifting every second of the day and a lot of driving.

Worst job I've ever had.

Pros

Be your own boss pretty much. You're lucky to get a decent truck every now and then, especially when you're the only driver with a CDL.

Cons

They run you all over the place and strictly commission. They don't tell you what they're paying, and after my first check I know why. Clients are often less than understanding. Sometimes ice is going to melt if you're in and out of the truck 20 times a day in 100+ degrees.
