Pros

-Get to learn the in’s & out’s of how a proper business should run and how to properly manage it -Get to learn how to accurately make estimates for different projects -84 will reward and acknowledge good sales -Lots of forklift experience -Lots of creative problem-solving -Team-based work culture

Cons

-Lack team-based work culture at current location -Have to figure a lot out independently until you go through training at the corporate office, such as building estimates, making special orders, etc -There’s not enough time in the day to finish customers’ estimates after helping the salesmen’s customers, the yard workers, and all the walk-in customers -7AM-6PM work days, 5-6 sometimes 7 days a week, mandatory overtime -Infuriating POS system
