Premium Distributors

Premium makes no argument the job is very tough. For a little over 50,000 not worth the destruction of your body . 
They always say your going to make more, but never really happens.
They use a impossible to calculate commission only system, Which on every paycheck you feel defeated and stupid that you cant figure out the complicated math to protect yourself.
Not bitter just honest.
Most of the mangers and sales team was a Driver at some point so they respect what you do. Until you get hurt. If you cant suck it up fast enough they get rid of you.
I was never injured or fired but I witnessed it many times over 5 years. 
There's a strong culture of forcing employees out.
It seems the company doesn't want you there for too long.

Upper management hosts some of the coolest most considerate  people imaginable. But, they give off a vibe of I want to help you but the Wizard says no. 

The job of salesman is just as demanding but on a different level.
Your required to sale handles in places where you have almost all the handles. Which typically results in one of your own handles being removed. All to meet the demands of a supplier. Every month!

It's not all bad. There's company gatherings for prizes, the Christmas party is a good time and the incentives and bonuses are typically worth hustling over. 

Plain and simple this will be one of if not the toughest jobs you will ever have. In any department. There's no easy jobs at Premium.
But if you make it out without injury you will be stronger for it.

If you like working 12 hour days regularly for salary this is the place for you. Insurance is expensive. No room for advancement. Being belittled and screamed at on a regular basis is the norm. On top of long days you are in charge of your truck as far as oil changes and maintenance. Theres little help from management. Sales guys make massive orders but rarely help. Requesting a day off is nearly impossible. The office loses paperwork occasionally and it gets taken out of your check. Basically you take all the risk and the company works you like a dog because they can. There are no regular raises. The harder you work the more they pile on. Theres very little recognition. The money you make the day you start is what you'll make your entire career. You work the majority of holidays. You get a day off for Christmas. You work in the rain and snow tornadoes it doesn't matter you go till you're done. Its all about the money. 

Management does not communicate with each other at all, you have 3 managers, none of them know what the other is talking about. 

You're told you're going to work 8 hrs or until all product is off your truck but you end up working 10 hours usually and still have plenty of product left over. You only get paid for 8 hours of work a day, even if you work 10. Work day usually begins about 5am to 8am, depending on the route.

Besides this, the co-workers were good people and helped each other out when they could, you get to take home ice cream to family at the end of the day.

Owner is very family oriented.   Great work schedule.   Traffic is challenging.   Multi state ice cream distributor for Unilever.  

Typical day: answer phones, enter customer orders from fax, organize online web orders, coordinate office staff time off/vacations to ensure appropriate coverage.  

Challenging area: all employees expected to work all holidays with exception of Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and NEw Years Day.

Typical day was fast-paced.
Learned how to work efficiently in groups.
Management was fair and genuine.
Workplace culture was family-oriented.
Hardest part of the job was maintaining physical endurance.
Most enjoyable part of the job was relationships.

The ownership and management will lie to your face, steal from you, then lie about you. The Charleston branch is run by a bunch of morons who know nothing about the area or the business of selling ice cream. The worst company I've ever been around and notoriously racist against anyone not white.

10 years of driving experience?
"Give me a Break" If you have a CDL and accept a job here, you are most definitely Clinical Desperate! 

Very disorganized company. There is so much turnover, they only have employee of the week, instead of month. 

Great company to work for. Competitive pay and environment. Great supervisors and management from top to bottom. Great opportunities for advancement within the department and overall advancement within the company.

This was one of the worst job experiences I have ever had. The job in which I was hired for never existed and I was lead along about the job duties in the team.

Small team of drivers in Frederick(unlike va & dc). Discrepancies in pay from other drivers. Route management disorganized. Hard work. Not easy to keep safety at the forefront. Countless corporate polices and numbers to worry about.
