Pros

The vendors that worked with us were very helpful.

Cons

Income was very unpredictable during holidays, snow storms, and the summer. It was a commission only position, but they wanted to micromanage you. Also, their main customers are gas stations. So there wasn’t a lot of consulting that happened. Additionally, they had huge issues with their warehouse and drivers. Pickers rarely got an entire order right, and then the Area Manager was expected to run food to the customer at the area managers expense. There is zero mileage, car reimbursement or phone reimbursement. There favorite thing to say was that everything should be a triple win—win for customer, employee, and the company. It usually left out the employee.
