ROTELLAS ITALIAN BAKERY

I worked as a route sales/delivery employee. The accounts you had were great to work with, but Rotella's itself was difficult. If you want supervisors following you around periodically and trying to hide the fact that they are following you, then, by all means, sign up. I will say the salary was great until you broke down your hourly wage. My day consisted of starting at 2 a.m. and not getting done until around 4:30-5:00 p.m. five days a week. On Wednesdays, you got to leave as soon as you were done with the deliveries and making sure your accounts were taken care of. Problem was that grocery stores would never open their docks early enough before noonish. Sundays were a day you could work, but I never chose to work Sundays because you are already working 70 hours a week. 

Family life does not exist. You request time off and they give you grief. I rarely saw my family and when I had this job, it caused some problems at home. Best thing ever was leaving this place for somewhere to make less money.

I have worked here 4 years as a front desk customer service employee in the corporate office. I recently graduated college and can't wait to get out of this job. The pay is low, management is greedy and plays favorites and the work is  dull.  My coworkers are dinosaurs and they resent me because I just finished college.    The worst part is the customers- they are very annoying. Another part of the job I hate  is having to train new people. One lady I trained in January was sickenly polite and luckily I told management she wasn't learning quickly enough (she actually was) and they fired her. Love that!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It benefits you most if your Hispanic and or can speak Spanish that is the culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Monotonous work, work load varies up and down long 11 hr day.

Good job for a motivated salesperson. Management has open mind and listens to your thoughts and concerns. Willing to work with you to make things better for all. Hardest part of job is travel,especially if you have more than 5 states. It takes it wear and tear on you and you need to be an experienced,patient traveler. Best part of the job is the ability to meet and greet a lot of people and run your territory as if it was your own business. They enable you to do this if you are productive and profitable.

Loved the Job always busy.
It is a very fast paced environment, must be well organized and have good communication skills. Meeting new people in the pacific northwest at the broker and distributor level was a plus.
The technology side of the business was poor at best.  Not much of an IT department and change was hard for the organization.

The hours were 12 hrs a day from 5pm to 5am 5 to 6 days a week. With a rotating day where you would get off. I learned how to be a hard worker and stand on my feet for 12 hours. My managers were mostly Hispanic so we often spoke little. The hardest part of my job was balancing my outside life with the rotating day off. Overall the pay checks were weekly and outstanding if you worked 6 days under the company.

The products and service are well known in foodservice and highly regraded. Family owned and executives care about the employees. Senior sales management needs to be more respectful of the sales team and the goals achieved. Team is talked down to and team is micromanaged. All are put to task for one individuals error instead of holding that person accountable.

Rotellas is a very good company to work at since it has good benefits fair hourly rate and daily over time however it is a very fast pace job and very physical however if you work on the docs you have to spend long periods of time in the freezer but still an over good place to work

I’ve worked with this company for many years, and it continues to impress me. The culture is supportive, the leadership is forward‑thinking, and there are countless opportunities for growth and development. It’s a place where hard work is recognized and career paths are truly encouraged.
