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

"First I work out of sister depot, which means we are off in our own little world compared to most workers. Our manager got fired and we have worked without one for months now, nothing gets fixed or changed. I started 9 months ago, the route I am on is on a 8 year high. They want me to be a manager but the company makes managers travel and do other routes, they don't actually manage they just are fill ins. The means there is no way to grow in the company. My route has 4 days and around 800 miles of driving a week, which really handicaps any chance of me getting to the highest commission rate. We have 4 people in our depot, 2 of us make a good profit for the company. The other 2 are bleeding money every day and nothing is done about it. Your bonuses are tied to your depot, we basically have 2 people fighting to get bonuses for all of us. The company cares heavily on weird stats like how many upsells you get which is basically useless, they don't seem to care much about sales per day in comparison. Its a draining place at times. The upper management literally have never done a actually day of a driver and it shows, they do nothing and lecture on about useless knowledge that won't help. If your selling good, its actually fun, but when you don't its demoralizing."
