Two days off per week.
Company vehicle; fuel costs are provided by the company. However, the truck cannot be taken home.
Base salary: minimum wage.
The bonuses sound very appealing when added in, but to a large extent, they are unattainable.

The company has a deduction system that can reduce bonuses to nothing; when performance is good, it raises the bonus threshold—a traditional business whose standards seem designed to keep employees from receiving their pay.

The basic workday is approximately twelve hours every day, with no overtime pay.
The system is disorganized, and errors easily occur in sales deliveries and accounting structures, often forcing employees to pay out of pocket.
