Pros

Easy purchasing terms. No down payment, flexible credit terms. Anyone with a pulse can own a nature's own bread route.

Cons

Heartless management, dissapearing percentages has left me very little to live on. Some weeks because of slow sales, truck repairs or because they freaking feel like it; i may not even get a paycheck after 70hrs of work.

Pros

It USED to be a good company to work for...times have changed. Favoritism, nepotism, racism...all run rampant in the corporate IT structure.

Cons

Too many challenges to name them all ...IT professionals should stay FAR away... I worked there more than 10 years which was 9 years too long.
