Maines Paper & Food Service Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I spent 18 months working with Maines a top ten Foodservice distributor. Involved in reorganizing, streamlining operations, and performance execution. Achieved Goals and expectations. Maines is an independent Organization and has an excellent approach to business to develop and top-notch service for its customers."

"I worked as a delivery driver at Maines for six months. Bid process for drivers includes minimum weekly salary the route will make. In April, they stopped paying the minimum salary with no explanation. No regard for the safety of their drivers, old ramps that don't even fit to the side of the trailer correctly, handcarts with flat tires and broken pieces, and always short on the paycheck. The management turns a blind eye to drivers running over service hours, and actually rewards those who make multiple trips on the same day. I take pride in working safe, driving legal, and being honest so this company was definitely not a match for me. Resigned in May."

"Been here a short time, I deliver to Wendy's,and Burger King, average 1000 plus pieces and 10 stops per trip. It's tough work, not for the wimps, but rewarding."

"Time to find a new job after 15+ years."
