hard work, long days, decent pay, good benefits
Pros
- decent pay (no pay raises though). pay is commisioning based and thus is based on your route's sales. - good benefits - great pay for summer students
Cons
- long days - 10-12hr days of constant work are quite normal - super early mornings, must work weekends/holidays - time off for personal problems is difficult to arrange - hard work takes its toll on the body, hard to balance work/life - managers are recruited mostly straight out of university therefore they're inexperienced and often times unable to give us support we need. Store managers do not take them seriously which negatively affects our performance/sales - almost impossible to get promoted to manager (DSL) if you are a man since the company now hires almost exclusively female managers straight from university - no other options for advancement in the company as the next step is DSL - expectations are too high and tasks are not acceptable to our stores (management doesn't help at all) - difficult to start working here as you need several years of seniority to get your own route. In the meantime you cover for people who go on holidays or do support work (as a result pay can be low, work days erratic)
