I have been saving up a nest egg to leave this company after 7 (or 8 years.) Being with the company. I took this job because I have no college degree. While I would like to get one I'm working 13-14 hour days on my route and as far as I can tell there is no way off of my route unless I do what other partners did to get off of this route. By fudging numbers and adding stuff to customers without telling them which goes against my moral code. My route is also the route all of the route specialist fight over having to not do when I go on vacation. I've reached my limit with 13-14 hour days for 55 k a year and no opportunity to grow the route as I work in a ridiculously low income area with customers who refuse to sign agreement or even pay their bills.

For those who have left what roles did you go to after? Did you pivot torwards sales jobs? Another driving company? I need to find something that's not cintas or I will be stuck on this route until my back gives out. I also need to find a role where I'm not working 13-14 hours a day so I can take online classes to get a degree or get a cdl. One thing is for sure is that I can't stay at this company any longer. It's obvious to me that my managers and supervisors intend for me to rot on this route.

Tldr for those who have left what jobs did you look at or get when leaving? Anything that can be reccomened for someone with only a high school degree would be nice.

Im a new hire and am on the sales team at my branch. One thing I’ve noticed is the drivers seem to dislike all our sales reps. Mostly due to giving them too much product even if a customer agrees.

I know there’s pressures on both sides but from my perspective (only about 3 months in) sales here is tough and the motivation they give you is driven from pressure and harsh goals and reps will do anything to increase size of their accounts to save their job

I have a ride along this coming Friday. A little background - I have been a retail manager for 2 years at a paint company. I also have a masters degree in training and development.

I first applied to this role just to see what it was about, but the way my current job has been, I really need a change.

Anyone have any insight into this role? I’ve transitioned into a mind set where I really want this role and don’t know what my chances might be of getting it.
