Great money, and life balance
I’m an independent distributor Great money generally off before 12. Lifestyle balance. The biggest con would be that we don’t receive any benefits.

Awful work-life balance
Awful work-life balance, run to fail maintenance philosophy causing untimely breakdowns and unscheduled maintenance. This in turn necessitated mandatory short-notice overtime.

The job consumed my life
I worked seven days a week for eight years. Woke up at 2:30am and would get home 12 hours or more later. I never had any time to see my family outside of dinner hours.

Corperative Sales Team was very supportive
The So Cal Sales Team was very supportive. I do not believe the other divisions in the company were as supportive. It seems they were more concerned with their job security rather then overall company vision. They were ultimately right for being guarded because this company seemed to do things randomly. I believe the headquarters in Georgia is out of tune with the California Market and it's needs.
Prosgreat sales team
Conslack of communication between divisions

I wouldn't recommend it.
Yes, the pay is good and the benefits are good, but the stress that is handed down from management is ridiculous, especially considering that most of upper management has no idea what is really happening in the factory.
Also, there is no heat or air conditioning in the building. In the summer, temperatures can reach in the 90 to 100 range and the humidity is terrible. In the winter, the ovens do very little to heat the air. However, the office stays at a constant temperature all year long.
