Pros

Great, young company with high ambitions and a great mission, reinventing recycling to focus on better returns for customers. Meetings in the field allow you to meet people from all walks of life across probably every possible vertical there is. When I had 4 BDRs I was always in the field, churnin' and burnin'. Heavily focused on expansion, RoadRunner has a lot of upside for career growth.

Cons

The revolving door of BDRs was definitely rough, as they directly correlate to your meetings, which leads to your success. It's definitely a numbers game, so if you have call reluctance, talk to what RR does or combat rebuttals off the cuff, this may not be a good position for you. While luck plays a large role in this, the people you meet with may not share the same integrity, so distinguishing RR from competitors and traditional haulers is CRUCIAL. In essence, the job itself had no cons in my experience. Often times it's things outside of your control that steer the ship.

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
