Pros

Good starting pay. Good benefits. Flexible as long as you are doing your job (up in sales)

Cons

Micro managed if you are down in sales. Admin seems to favor subtle threatening undertones rather than encouraging positive reinforcement. Lot of touchy people at my location... work lif balance sucks for fist two years bc you are training even if you have a territory. After that time, life gets better...

Pros

Decent pay, home nightly, 5 day work week, decent benefits, awesome management staff. I have only been working here for a couple of months and I'm averaging $1,500 a week which is very decent for a NEW CDL Class A driver and a NEW employee in the food delivery service industry. This is also considered "base pay" rates. The average delivery driver at my location makes upwards of $100k per year. Paid holidays, matches 401k (to "X" percentage), again AWESOME management team. Always eager to tell and coach when needed.

Cons

Biweekly pay. Pallets are built by whom I can only assume are kinder garden children in adult male bodies. Very unorganized which makes finding each item for each individual stop challenging and down right frustrating at times. Delivery times are unrealistic. Routing sends you to stops either too early or during lunch windows. VERY PHYSICAL. VERY DANGEROUS. Nothing particularly unmanageable, but there are many occupational hazards. Typical delivery driver cons.
