Career opportunities

Business Development Manager (Former Employee) - Oklahoma City, OK - November 30, 2021

I was excited to work for this company and possibly advance. Lost that when they were bought out and a good percentage of employees were laid off. Had to fight to keep my job and lost all hope of advancement. Work load increased and understanding of family needs were never to be considered.

Pros

Good pay, advancement from low positions

Cons

Heavy workload, low family priority, no work life balance

Toxic management. Good employees

Driver/Warehouse (Former Employee) - Okmulgee, OK - September 21, 2021

Lots of shady things done by mgmt. Class b drivers make way more then class a drivers. That's unheard of anywhere else. My manager wasn't even licensed to drive my truck. Red route is brutal during the summer and outright dangerous during the winter. Benefits are terrible with super high deductibles. Only reason I stayed as long as I did was the other employees.

Pros

Other employees

Cons

Way to many to list.

Does not care about employees

Merch (Former Employee) - Tulsa - January 27, 2020

Low pay, long hours and a mentality that if you dont work extra youre not doing your job. Management does not care about the well being of employees, they only care about hitting quotas

Very Poor Environment

Bulk Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Oklahoma City, OK - October 21, 2019

Working with the receivers was awesome! I was able to meet many really cool people when delivering the products. The problems were not with our customers, it was with Management and how they deal with the employees. This is NOT a place to work if you are a woman with a CDL, they will run you into the ground with harassment!

Cons

Very poor Leadership

Not a good place to work

Local Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Okmulgee, OK - September 28, 2017

Good driving experience

extremely long hours

Changes are a coming.

Red route driver (Current Employee) - Tontitown, AR - June 22, 2017

Been with this group for 12 years. The latest ownership is taking over at the end of July. I strongly feel the new ownership will be like Bob Brown's Coke when I first started. Mr Brown and our new owner, friends, both in their 80's are cut from the same cloth. Customers first. Then, the associates, us, you reward and recognize. The ownership in between was, well, poor.

Pros

Currently, none.

Cons

See above review.

decent work environment

Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) - Oklahoma City, OK - August 30, 2016

It was a pretty simple job. If you want to interact with other co workers, this is not the job for you! If you're an outgoing person with good people skills, you'll forget that working here! You have to keep your numbers up when building orders so basically you barely know the people you work with...

Pros

nice breakroom, nice front office workers

Cons

short lunch, no ac, pallet jacks are faulty
