Business outlook
Pros
- Lucrative if you put in enough effort - Gain experience in sales, merchandising, DSD, earn Class B CDL - Holiday bonus - Job stability in a fragile market, consistent paychecks
Cons
- Nepotism - HR not on-site, so things swept under the rug that should be addressed - Low barrier of entry = revolving door of reps/merchandisers - No upward movement unless someone retires or quits, or you relocate - Frustrating receiver/store issues - Lack of communication and support from Territory Managers, Route Supervisors swamped with work and not able to support due to heavy workload
