Route manager with horrible upper management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing other then some customers are friendly

Cons

They give you a route that you’re expected to manage but they keep adding more customers to it to make you think you’re getting paid more but you’ll be working longer hours. If a customer leaves then you are the one to be blamed. Horrible management in every way. Meetings every week to complain about how bad their employees are performing. Management and the employees they hire tend to be racist.
