Not the place for a good, honest worker that intends to do the right thing and actually do the stops and gets the job done.  I got in a while ago under the impression that guys don't wanna work.  which was somewhat true but those are the ones management actually cover for.  I started out just doing my assigned route and then when they discovered i got it done they started adding work from the guys who would enter stops and not do them or short customers and the unit leaders knew and still know that this happens.  eventually they intentionally destroyed our routes thinking it was gonna do something good for the company and it didn't, just created more problems and caused me to be out later, then they figured bumping up the start time would do something for the company which lead it to like 48000 customers in the hole.  Figured out the people who bordered me just were taking more shortcuts and it led to those stops being put on my route instead.  I was employee of the month and within two months i was the enemy of the state, they tried telling me i was on an eight hour work restriction while getting 95% of my original route then like 30% of the stuff of the guys who bordered me and i was running without breaks and breaking the speed limit and still out for almost 12 hours everyday when my neighbors where mysteriously back from the times 11-2.  They micro managed every little bs thing to the extreme.  making us attend these stupid meeting and some of them had nothing to do with getting our routes done.  there was one meeting we had when the warehouse guys were there but they cut it short because they punch in and out of a time clock, not us though, if the warehouse guys weren't there it would have been an hour and a half meeting which we have sat through before and then had an insane amount of work to do.  everyday was a stupid meeting, then sometimes a meeting after the meeting and they had us watch a video that told us to squeeze your butt, rotate your hips, engage your abs and tuck in your elbows while driving, management just goes around finding new ways to justify their jobs at our expense.  the company really doesn't need them.  place just really needs a union or just to be thoroughly investigated so its fair to the few drivers that actually did the job.  i would get like 70 stops that were all steep hilly driveways or third floor walk ups and even big buildings, id constantly do management favors so they can cover for the guys next to me and all i got was what took you so long and they found a way to insult me.  i was told it doesn't go by stops but one time i had like only 40 and all of a sudden they said but you only have 40 stops.  they are real dirtbags that are mostly f**k up move ups, don't even know how they got that job in the first place.  I don't really advise working for this company at all,  the 401k built up pretty quick but they owe you that in overtime anyway, and you can take the broken cases of water but other than that i had a real horrible 3.5 years at the place, worked at two different branches and it was almost just the same, had that one or two uls that made sure to make sure you were overworked and laughed at you, if i did something they slightly didn't like i was pulled in their office and they did whatever they could to pick at my brain,  when we got these new cameras in the trucks the alarms would go off for no reason and the guy told me my truck is slightly closer to the right line and thats why i need to improve.  i watched another good guy get screwed by the same guy and they almost had a fist fight,  when the managers would come out with me they couldn't keep up and were panicking and complaining the whole time,  so lucky they won't cross my or any other guy they screwed over in a dark alley alone.  Just don't work here i can go on forever on how bad the place is.

Start at 6am, have a meeting and go over need to know info and if anyone has any issues (a stop you’re not near but someone else is, not feeling well and ask for help, etc.). As a commission driver you want to unload your truck every day, and even do extra work if possible, but you have to do the right thing, you can’t just dump product everywhere to make money, that’s a fast way out of a job. Our job is to go above and beyond for our customers and if you do it right you’ll make a lot of money and you’re customers will be happy, not complain, and talk highly of us. That’s key because part of it is growing your area, so talk to a couple people throughout the day that we don’t deliver to and get them to sign up, you get a new customer on your route plus a $100 incentive. Management is ok field level, but above them doesn’t support them enough. You’ll never hear “good job”, or “you got a compliment”. So if you constantly need validation, it’s not for you. If you get asked to wait to get spoken to, it’s always negative or something you did that could’ve been “different”. No one seems to understand that we are human and we do make mistakes sometimes. So the recognition and sense of making a difference part could definitely use some work. We’re off on weekends and a lot of holidays, vacation and sick time. Benefits are great in my opinion with different options for different lifestyles. Overall I love my job and my customers, that’s what makes it great. Getting to know your customers, being out on the road, in the world, instead of sitting inside somewhere with 10 different managers telling you what to do is awesome. Also, if you take care of your customers, they definitely take care of you, they’ll tip you through the app and they will tip you well at Christmas. It’s very very very physical, so if you don’t like to lift heavy things, or work in the rain/snow/hot/cold, and don’t want to just keep moving without wasting time between stops and just going from one to the other, then it’s not for you. If you’re like me though and you’re very detailed, have high work ethic, move with urgency, and like to work at a fast pace, then it’s a great place to work to satisfy that. One other thing, safety is NUMBER 1, if you can’t dedicate yourself to focusing on the road only (no touching or looking at phones, no ear buds, looking down at paperwork, just anything at all that can distract you) and keep 360° awareness around you both while driving and delivering, then think that over before applying because that is taken very seriously and any electronic device usage, drinking (water/coffee/soda etc.) or eating while driving, 2 hands not on wheel, or any action that causes distraction that could’ve been prevented by a different behavior is one of the top reasons to instantly be on a final warning or out of a job depending on severity. So if you’re able to do what’s asked of you, which really isn’t much besides common sense things, you like being out on your own, working in all weather, know how to deal with people, can work at a faster than normal pace, and don’t have any issues with what else I stated, then apply. No other delivery job will make you money like this does, be able to be home by 3pm-4pm everyday, sometimes earlier, and off on the weekends and holidays. 

I have been working here for 6 years and there have been extreme changes. For one, don't expect holidays off (except the ones they have to give you like 4th of July, thanksgiving, Christmas and labor day). And you work until 7pm thanksgiving eve, christmas eve, new years eve, ect. so limited work life balance. In total we get 6 holidays at the Customer Service Center. Don't worry,  Corporate gets every other holiday off though! Don't apply if you value your mental health. The hours start 1230-9 (which is outlined) then only the favorites get a better schedule after a while. Its; really based on favorites to get a good schedule. You also have to work a rotating Saturday schedule. Basically, you get yelled at for 8 hours a day by customers because the company can't delivery on time, can't delivery the right product or there was a system error and it was never routed. But instead of the company focusing on the real reason the customer is calling in, they will review your call, make sure it was in the time limit and you seems happy! But the customers don't care it wasn't your fault- you are the first live person they can talk to and will yell at you for everything. There is also no real consequences so a previous co-worker could offer a customer X and not apply it, and when they call back to yell at you there is nothing you can do but to take it. Your bonus are graded off your call time average and 'not ready time'. So if you get a call and the customer has 10+ accounts, then your average shot and there is nothing you can do about it. While these seems to be the standard for customer service, this specific company does not care about the employees. Will make changes that will increase call volume etc. and give you a day notice. Also, they will roll out all new procedures and promotions, but don't expect the system to actually work or to receive substantial information to know about any of it. In addition, you have no contact with a local branch or the driver, so if the customer calls you for a legit concern, there is legit nothing you can do but apologize and hope they don't rip your head off.

This company has and will always be about making money, regardless at the employees or customers expense. They update the Terms and conditions all the time to add in new fees for existing customers. No loyalty programs, which older customers are understandable upset. While all these changes are happening, don't expect any additional bonus or pay just a thank you. 

If you need to work late nights (till 9) then this is a benefit for the job. Besides that everyone you will meet will be fake happy and excited for the job. As the months go on and you get closer to people. you will learn everyone hates it.

This job is a great last resort job. You.should try getting a sales job before.this and.atleast try.your luck. Because with this job, you can potentially maybe make 60 k a year but no more. no overtime pay because not union. they will tell you how much less you.would get paid if they went union,.but this is not true because.the worker would get.paid overtime. And some days, you could easily end up working 13 hours. You could cut corners and not fill racks up completely and get shorter days, but you never know how long your day could be so if you havent.been there 15 years, a second job is out of the question. They once tried going union, but what happened was the managers held classes at the end of the work day after the last person got in to teach why unions are bad. To unionize, it. can take up to a year so their strategy was to hold the workers after everday forcing everyone to work a 14_15 hours a day. Hard labor but that never bothered me. They gave incentives to push certain products, but it was like a pizza party . Yay! free.ice cream on friday if noone gets into an.accident.running their overstacked schedules. BTW if you cant complete your route in a day because of a problem or a delay, your workload got placed.on another worker.who would be pist at.you.not the company. I,had a delivery and pickup of empty bottles at a supermarket. some.guy was stealing bottles and turning them in at the supermarket. so i had.an.unfathomable amount of bottles to pick up , causing a 2hr stop when on the time sheet it.said i should be.there 15 minutes. This caused.me to miss stops and.have fellow.good.workers pick up my slack leaving them pist off. I complained to no avail. Evenually i had the safety.manager drive with me one day.and he.noticed how crazy the stop was "btw he drove with me to make.sure i was.following safety procedures.because i had to rush the day prior because of the unrealistic schedule. this guy followed me in his vehicle and confronted me saying i was messed up for rushing." I could literally go on and on with.the things i went through here. long story short, the companies rich and they dont take care for their guys. i got.so stressed i asked for a day off, got.told i absolutely.had.to come into work. so i quite the next day.. glad.thats off my chest, hopefully i can help a veteran from falling into this same death trap

Don't be fooled!!!!!!! This job is no one man job. I've had to do 40 bottle walk ups to the 3rd floor alone. No help at all ever. Company doesn't care about the drivers. The equipment they provide you sucks. Only 3 stair climbers for a branch that has 40 routes. Certain stops are inhuman. A route salesman is responsible for his own route is what they tell you but trust and believe you will be responsible for others routes. Crazy thing is they will give you 15 stops from a guy on top of your 50 stops which puts you at 65 and the guy you have the stops from will have only 30 stops on his day. He will be done before you and will be home drinking hot tea while your out doing his work. The management is all out of whack. They have guys routing the drivers that is unfamiliar with the areas. They have guys over looking the routes that never ran a route in their lifetime but will tell you how to run a route. They have unit leaders that never ran route on your back about how you should run your route. The trucks are never loaded properly which is the warehouse job but you will be responsible and you will find yourself in the warehouse loading your truck. I promise you this. They put everyone's job on the driver. I will not even get into the racist issue but I've seen felt and heard things with my own ears. This job is easy to get because they are constantly losing drivers. Work load is way too much for one guy. FedEx has helpers and their only lifting envelopes. The money doesn't match the hard work. Only 6 sick days for drivers that are out delivering rain sleet or snow. Keep in mind if you have the flu 3 of your days are gone. I advise you to not get the flu a second time. This branch is the only one that is salary. Every other branch gets paid by the hour. Growth in this company is limited. Even if you qualify for the position they will give it to somebody that doesn't because of what ever reason. I can go on until next week but i will stop here. Worst job ever. But hey don't take my word for it. Apply for the job. You'll see.

Managers think they are playing Age of Empires...
When the regional manager shows up; everything and everyone changes, he leaves and it's time to go back to slavery.
Managers have good prices in holidays and eat from restaurants, but employees don't get any of that.
Warehouse: if you are not in the circle, you get kick out. Why?easy money for both the plant manager and warehouse manager (if you understand what I mean).
Managers will tell you how lucky you are to have a job at this company and if you can't make your job right; there are many people outside waiting for your position?

High Production=40-58 hours 
Low Production =8-32 hours or layoff
Employees=always take the blame or get pin pointed
Expect to work 7 days a week (3-4 days in between) 
Horrible schadules and if you are not needed that day, guess what?
It's not profitable to much gas and time vs the pay.
PMS are just insane, everyone is like crazy trying to make it happen.
If you are seasonal worker you will be fired, if you all ready have the plant be a sure that you won't last either...
If you are working from October-March is low season and you are more likely to be fired, and if not they will find something to fire you, don't worry it's going to happen.
This company is always hiring do you wonder why?
Racism at is highs evel.
If you make use of the insurance to much it will be mantion that the company is loosing money, since they are also puting a percentage.
You dont have time for your family due to the schedule.
What you due is never enough even if you think you had a very good day.
Mechanic's are always blaming things and pin pointing fingers.
If theres a manager change with in a department you better look for another job.
They have meetings  every day before and after and espect you to not loose production?


Let me think a..... there is much more, but I will let that to your imagination!

I came into Nestlé as a seasonal production operator. Now a seasonal operator has a 8 month contract with the company. After your 8 month period, you can reapply after 2 months. Hiring process is a mess. 
As an operator, you learn the basics to run such machines as a packer or possible the filler. Now learning the basics is not a hard process at all. Finding the right person to train you is!!! It seems like the more seasoned veterans don't like teaching the newcomers. I guess they feel like this person is going to be gone in 8 months, so why bother.... or it's job securirty for them. Luckily, I found the right person to train me. I caught on pretty fast, since I'm mechanically inclined. The job became easy, with no challenge! Within the 8 months, by my second month I've taken my own initiative to learn all the different departments. Started as a packer operator, to a running the filler, being a rotator, already have blowmold experience, as well as husky department, and learning how to change overs. I've asked my immediate supervisor for the time to train in those departments. She was so unorganized, everything went in one ear out the other. It came to the point where I stopped asking. So I took upon myself to learn it all! 
With that being said, the employees that were hired on a week after after me became full time employees. Now these same people before I left this facility, are still in the same department, worst work ethic ever, oblivious to teamwork, not cross trained and don't want to be! You would think they would have a 90 day probationary period for their new employees. Nope!!! 
This facility is a sinking ship!! No communication all around!! Moral is down the drain! Everyone here uses their sonority as leverage in any situation! Nobody wants to own up to their responsibilities. A lot pointing fingers. I don't recommend applying here, unless you like being harassed!

First the positives:

Your co-workers are friendly enough, but you’ll still have the occasional folk who are miserable and want to beat you down with their experience.  The machines are deteriorating because they don’t believe in preventative maintenance, so you will work harder than expected of the position—though maybe that’s by design. The pay is competitive for the work you’re doing and you get feedback/reviews every couple of months.  If you’re permanent, they have good benefits, vacation time, paid holidays, and PTO.  Depending on your shift, you may only work full time for two weeks at a time, giving you ample days off. Management and staff are easy to talk to, but slow to action when it comes to data management.

Unfortunately, if you’re seasonal the cracks begin to show a little.  For instance:

Seasonal employees don’t have a set contract, they’re employed until they’re not, could be 6 months, could be a year.  During this time, don’t get sick, get a flat tire, or have an emergency of any sort because if you’re absent more than 2 days without weeks of prior notice, you’re terminated. This resets yearly or if you’re hired on permanently.

Additionally, seasonal employees do not get PTO, vacation time or holiday pay. So if you need a day off or if they have no work for you that’s 12hours lost unpaid…for 6+ months. You don’t get access to any medical benefits either.  Communication is also spotty, so if you don’t have work and you get sent home, there’s money in gas that is also wasted.

I think it’s a decent position overall, but not for long term if you’re seasonal. Your body will start to break down from the additional work from poorly maintained machines, and not being able to take off when needed only exacerbates that.

Let's face it, call center jobs have a reputation for high anxiety. At BlueTriton, it wasn't terrible but the anger was warranted for most cases. As a CSR, I was able to interact with customers and employees. The managers of the call center were very supportive and understanding whenever an issue came up, personal and professional. Training was about 2.5 weeks long and was crammed with SOOOOO much information. The trainers did their best to explain what was expected and necessary for the job but of course you won't know until you start working. It's a typical KPI metric system with some leniency when you first hit the floor. The incentives are on a monthly basis and the pay was decent. 
My biggest gripe with the company is the lack of communication between customers and their employees. The routing system is horrible and the drivers are overworked. The website and app are not user friendly. I had helped customers that called 5-8 times because the solution provided was the generic scripted, "your delivery is scheduled for today at X time" giving false information and hope to the customers. This would make it difficult for us at the call center, drivers and the customer. It felt like I had to lie most of the time. None of it made sense even when it should've been simple. Upselling was necessary on every call although we were told it wasn't "mandatory" but expected. Morally I couldn't upsell anyone that is on a budget and struggling just to get water delivered. Also, this company needs to ease up on their drivers. These people work in the craziest conditions and deserve more than what they are being compensated. The drivers deserve a real work life balance and not given pizza as a reward.

Going into this company knowing you're gonna be put to work every single day. There are no "slow" days, and if you happen to get lucky with a slow day. They will catch on and add more onto your work load to make sure you have a heavy day. 

Beginning when hired was told training would last about 3 months give or take. With numbers of driver quitting due to heavy work loads whether you're new or not. You get thrown out to the wolves right away with 40+ stops a day. Not realizing we as drivers are out on the fields ALONE having to transport gallons and cases of water to and from the truck on the daily all day long. Be prepared to get injured almost nearly every single day whether its bumps or cuts here and there. 

They work off a point system. You have 10 points. You get penalized for EVERYTHING. Ex. Scheduled to deliver 5 gallons of water to customer. Customer only wants 2 out of the 5. Well you will get penalized for something the customer wants! So, basically you are expected to push and harass the customers into taking the original amount they ordered! You are timed on EVERYTHING you do as well. Very fast-paced company. 






Drivers all in all are friendly to one another and work great as a team. When you do have a heavy work load you are able to call upon another driver if available to come take a load off, and we as drivers know how difficult our jobs is so we're always willing to lend a helping hand to one another when needed. 

Company offers greats full benefits package, along with two weeks paid vacations along with holidays.

Wage is good, but could definitely be more for the amount of work that drivers do.




All in all. OKAY company to work for
Would I refer anybody to work at Nestle Waters? NO.
