Working at Schwan's in Esko, MN: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Esko, MN Area

"This company is one of the worst to work for. They act like their employees are paid a fair amount of money for the amount of hours worked. They say on their actual website not to tip the drivers. The little delivery fee you pay, doesn't go to the drivers by the way. A normal day for a Schwan's representative starts at about 9am and ends anywhere from 9-11pm and that does not include overtime being that you get paid $160 per day, you don't get paid hourly. so if you are out on the road for 12 hours its the same as being out on the road 10 hours. (They do not allow you to run anything shorter than 9 hour day) commission is bad at about 3%. they ask way too much of their employees and keep adding on extra stuff. maybe they should think about raising how much they pay their drivers instead of how much the corporate people are getting sitting in their, climate controlled office for a max of 8 hours a day. they also didnt use to have cameras in the trucks but they just informed us they are now being added and no matter what they say the cameras are always recording the DRIVER (due to being "Activated" by sound and certain types of movement, the schwan trucks are loud meaning this will always be recording) this means you cannot eat, drink, smoke, or vape in the truck because each of those things is now illegal with the laws in place. also for the entire 12 hour day only one 30 minute DOT break is allowed. meaning you can only drink water one time with these new cameras."
