Pros
I started as a Summer-Hire while I went to college and the pay was great. I eventually became a route sales specialist, and upon completion of school, became a DSL. If you fit their profile for advancement you can get promotions, you typically just have to wait an extended time period to get them. Great Benefits! Pension, 401k, share power all great accesories.
Cons
The information that is pushed down from upper management typically gets filtered along the way and very vital information with very impactful reprocusions, continually being negative, is put into your lap and you have no decision but to attempt to put a positive spin on it for the rsr's. I got to a point where I couldn't deal with the work load, working hours and I put in a large amount, and working conditions so I turned in my notice. My advice to anyone thnking about wanting to be a DSL or any outside applicant applying for the job would be..... If you want to have a life outside of work, don't accept the job.
