      Ok for a short period of time. A 'between jobs' job.

      Pros

      You get to work by yourself at your own pace. There was not a direct supervisor breathing down your neck. They give you enough time to catch on to your routine. If you get a good route and take pride in the look of your stores, the commissions can be decent.

      Cons

      It is a very boring routine. You can learn everything you will ever need to learn within the first year. Promotions are not easy to get. You can be a route salesman for 15 years with little recognition and no room for advancement. I think that the room for advancement is the worst part of the job.

      Pros

      Great place to start a career. Projects are interesting and there are a lot of good folks who work for the company. Lots of career opportunities abound throughout the divisions and the people are very dedicated to their work. Solid brands and a lot of great people who believe in these brands. Employees receive free beverages and/or snacks at their workplace, which is a nice yet inexpensive perk. Local management is very receptive to employee input and really wants to try to make a difference. Senior leadership has improved many things in the past few years that I have been here.

      Cons

      Benefits have gone downhill in the past few years are more costs are passed onto employees. Concerned that pension may not be around much longer. Work-life balance is frequently discussed but rarely backed up by management. Internal corporate communication is good but we could use more that flows to all levels of the company. Senior leadership should be more visible to the "rank and file" folks within the company. SAP is an interesting system. Promotions are done in a manner that is a mystery to many employees along with employee rankings and reviews each year - have yet to figure this out.

      Pros

      Good place to advance in a company in many different ways. Very diversified as far as what jobs you can work, and what new skill you can learn. This is only from a headquarter's perspective, though. I have gotten many opportunities to travel, visit DCs, and learn about how new projects are developed and accomplished. I have been given the chance to offer my thoughts without feeling threatened or intimidated by senior members on the teams I have worked for. Most people are very open and sociable, and always willing to help out if needed. Great networking opportunities.

      Cons

      Work-life balance in the field is not great. I will probably avoid having to work there (even though it offers a much better understanding of operations) simply because I do not want to work all day, every day for little to no extra money. This can be a pro or a con depending on who is reading this review, but some jobs require a lot of (sometimes needless) travel. I can get a lot of the same work done without having to spend 4/5 days of the week in some hotel room away from my family. Although the accommodations are very nice, I'd rather not travel if it isn't absolutely necessary... but I am a homebody, so that is why this is under the "downsides," where it might be an upside to someone else.
