Terrible company DO NOT WORK FOR THEM! Told my family member they would have a job there and that they were getting ready to hire them and then ignored us for 3 days before telling us that they went with someone already working for the company. They are completely misleading and very unorganized this is not how a business should be ran. Not to mention they discriminate against people with mental disabilities!

My mom and I work here currently. There could be more route people. At the starting pay of $14.25 an hour you'd think people will join on our team. We are all very caring people and my mom is a supervisor.

Just Terrible my friend works for this place and she currently dealing with pregnancy discrimination. Everything was just fine here until she became pregnant. The supervisor that works for the company disregards her restrictions and wrote her up for not doing task that requires her to lift more than 50 pounds. Is this really how you treat your employees?

Do not work for these guys. My cousin worked for them and he quit after finding out they were taking money from his paycheck and tried to forge his signature into to validate that action. Edit: Ok it seems like they've gotten better since then. I have no other opinions on the business.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality If I could give this company no stars I would. Very unprofessional, met my boss maybe twice in the two months I was there. Over worked understaffed, broken equipment, no proper training. List can go on.
