Pros

If your just unemployed and looking for a get you by job then it would be okay that's it.

Cons

Management from the top down is terrible! They all talk like programmed robots vending, web sales, freight, margin, price performance. They say your in outside sales but really it's route sales. Really it's a high pressure sales job that pays close to miminimum wage.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
