It is not what they say it is. This company has a false positive culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to distribution, logistics, and cash flow challenges within the F&B sector. You can learn a lot from this company.

Cons

Very low paying position for a 7 day a week job. Weak bonus structure is subjective, and changes every quarter based on corporate initiatives. Middle and upper management at the local OPCOs have limited latitude, and very little time to assist individuals. Corporate office has total control! This is a job for a young professional starting their career, or a seasoned individual looking for their last job right before retirement. If you have a family and you live in an expensive demographic, you will need an additional part time job. If you don't get promoted inside of 3 years, quit.

Pros

Good pay. But will have to die to earn it

Cons

Everything else. No time for yourself, family. Nothing. Just a number, they don’t care if you’re hurt.
