Pros

Stable, internal movement encouraged, people are generally humble, well regarded in CPG space, great company to start a Marketing career

Cons

Extremely hierarchical to a fault, bureaucratic - it takes a long time to initiate change, baby boomer mentality, strict adherence to old school processes, poor onboarding experience, culture is weak, heavy reliance on PowerPoint, many people in managerial roles in areas where they've had no previous experience

Performance pay is a joke

Rsr route sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are pretty good still.

Cons

I have the most seniority out of 3 of us in the building. This performance pay is supposed to be based on seniority. Its not. Both guys currently in the building have less then 5 years and are making more than me who has over 10 years. Their routes just happened to be performing well when we switched over. They didn't want folks to lose money but when you say the pay is based on seniority it should be based on seniority

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very good, but that's how they getcha. They have decent benefits. There's Room for growth. Hires women.

Cons

Everything. You can't work under 10 hours a day but usually work up to 12 hrs. Start time is unnaturally early 4:00am-6:00am. They try to put as much work on you as possible. Constantly rushing. They Will eliminate a route and spread among the team. They except 7% growth every year which seems impossible.
