Low end employees get swept under the rug.

Pros

Good work environment. Decent benefits. Local managers are easy to work with. Get to take work truck home.

Cons

Have to pay each check to take work truck home. Pay is production so if you have been there 10 years you get paid the same as someone day 1 on a route. Recently we had a snow storm hit the area and couldn't work for a week. We weren't compensated any of those days. Instead we were asked to use our vacation days (couldn't use sick days) to get paid. So now I only have a week of vacation left for the entire year! After this, Co-workers have told me they are looking for new employment.
