Pros

There are not many pros about this job other than that it is a stable job and customers you deliver to are friendly.

Cons

Oh where to begin! This place is so disorganized. Higher up management doesn't care about employees. Some employees have been there 6 years with no raise. Employees not rewarded for the work that they do! Management expects so much for little pay! The turnover of employees is the highest I have EVER seen. They let good employees walk because they do not want to pay them. Certain routes have way more than other routes and management does not have the employees help each other out. So one guy may have 5 stops while another has 18. Trust me this is definitely no a place to consider working.

Pros

It was a job that paid the bills.

Cons

Right off the bat you are on a paid hourly schedule until your 90 dys are up then they set you up on a commission program were you make.no money because you take hit on the commission when all those car shop return parts even though your not a sales rep they still make you take a hit so basically you are breaking even on hourly and on commission rate pay then if you wanna make extra money they tell you that you need to go pick up extra car parts and then they ask you if you drive by a car shop they want you to visit them and help grow your route even though your not sales rep so my best advice to anyone looking at this turn back around and look for another job this place is a joke and it comes with nonthing but a headache and stress and nonthing but unhappiness for you and your family .

Pros

Employees are friendly, benefits ok

Cons

Leadership is out of touch with their employee's needs. Promises of raises, but never happens. They are able to keep individuals pay lower due to classifying employee's with lower paying positions; all the while demanding more work. Only sales and management get bonuses, support staff does not.
