Pros

The salary is at or above the industry standard, you develop a close bond with other RSR's, benefits are excellent, and relocation possibilities are limitless.

Cons

If you are married or have kids, you better tattoo their faces on every crevice of your body because you will NEVER see them. Expect work weeks from 50-75 hours a week. Having your days off split up means you never feel fully rested to restart your day on the job. You will work EVERY holiday. They tell you not to work Christmas but all you are really doing is doubling your workload on another day. They make you work a day for free. You have to sign a wavier specifying that you will not help during your "Route Ride" but if you don't then you will not get hired. Someone will eventually get hurt one day and sue. Everything is about numbers and you basically compete with yourself. Horrible treatment of employees, horrible company.

Pros

Excellent organization with the best management development systems and resources (assests and information systems) you can imagine Excellent pay with unlimited growth opportunities

Cons

This is a very top-down organization...While they are the best, you simply MUST follow their formula.... Bureaucracy, Bureaucracy, Bureaucracy... People with entreprenureal spirit who want to try things differently than the corporate recipe will be frustrated

Pros

We get paid well to do our jobs. We have good benefits and the people we work hand in hand are usually hard workers.

Cons

Our "resources" are more interested in caring what upper management thinks than to even notice all the bad conditions we work under. They are currently trying to basically bribe us to give them positive ratings on some health org surveys we are going to be taking next week. Very few people are willing to lie and say the good things they want us to say. They are under pressure by someone higher up than plant level and so they are getting write up happy at a time when they should be thinking how it will affect what we put on surveys. People are sooo dissatisfied they are talking about unions. I personally don't want to go that way, but if they decided to try it at least we would have someone on our side. Our HR is only for management and it's impossible to get help from him. They have what they call the speak up line, they are supposed to help, but all they do is give it to HR who we couldn't get help from to begin with. Our safety is not important especially if it means spending money when the financial manager doesn't want to. I personally like my job that I do and want to always do my best because our children eat our product, and quality should be the most important process. I just wish that's what management cared about. It's all about the money. I know we need to make money but there should be more energy put into all quality.
