      Cons

      This division works around the customer. Not always M-F (but we get weekend pay)

      Advice to Management

      We really need to begin acting like a trucking company within Grainger. We need to hire drivers with experience. Look for drivers from the large soda and beer company’s, they have customer service and driving experience!

      Low salary, high sales objective, Salesforce software rules your life. Everything is documented and tracked. Feels like Sales kindergarten.
