Cons of working at Rural King

They don't expect management to help out when busy. Product on trucks is always the same thing when we have holes on the shelves for months. Higher ups won't listen to their own employees. Cut a ton of jobs when they could have saved money elsewhere. Maybe the 2 million dollars they spend on popcorn and cut back on trucks we don't need everyday with the same product.
