Schwan's Consumer Brands N.A., Inc. - Bloomington, Mn.?

Personnaly, I wouldn't do it.

I looked into Schwanns about a year ago, and I was told up front, "This is a sales position, not a truck driver position. If you can't be a salesman, we don't need you".

I also talked with our local schwanns guy, and he usually works a minimum of 16 hours a day. (They are DOT Exempt) He said that you make $500 per week during training, then it's commission after that.

I don't see putting in all those hours and dealing with the public that much, for such little pay.

 

Schwan USED to stop here every other week, I got so tired of the buy more buy more sales pitch that I just called and told them not to stop!

 

kcj8ve-Correct! Schwans is strictly a commission based wage and nothing more.

Yeti-I talked to human resources a couple years ago. He admitted their turnover was sky high. They work 12 hours a day 5 days a week and they work holidays (WITHOUT HOLIDAY PAY!!!), which is pathetic in my book. I seen schwan drivers on 4th of July, memorial day weekends and labor day weekends. They do not work sundays I know, they are a 6-day a week operation. They do have health bene's however. The Schwans distributing facilitity near me is CONSTANTLY looking for new drivers. Their ads advertise 30k-60k a year, but I wouldn't trust that. You would really have to be extremely full of B.S. salesman talk to make that kind of money selling frozen food. They're probably no better than some of these bad trucking companies but I believe there is much better for you out there.
