Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0Nov 19, 2017RSR Route SalesCurrent Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
Benefits and pay are outstanding... you are encouraged to treat your job as if it’s your business. They do try to balance work and home life with additional vacation buy time as well as heritage holidays to use at your discretion. Their are no retail blackout days and you receive the day before/after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years off. Their social giving is hands down one of the best!
Cons
The training is sketchy at best when you start so you have to be comfortable going in blind. At times you feel like more of a glorified stocker for the major stores. To move up you have to be willing to relocate which impedes on family if you have children. It also seems like you have to be younger to be considered for promotion. They leave a lot of talent at the door due to this. I also have travel and a ton of drive time which can be tiring. Especially when you loose the drive time if you aren’t on an overnight.

Pros
Great people to work with. Benefits are good and pay.
Cons
Work a lot!!!! Not a good balance of work and family life. Have most holidays off, but not always guaranteed to get them off depending on what line you work on.
