Pros

Pay/profit sharing. Not quite enough for the time spent there but easily enough to get by as a trainee with hourly pay Unmatched job stability Friendly coworkers/staff Good travel policies for when travel is required 401k can be a roth or pre-tax (your choice) healthcare options (high deductible plan isn't the best but gives a great array of in network options) Very ethical business. Some of the highest B2B ethics I have ever seen

Cons

- 2 weeks (10) vacation days until year 6, then 3 weeks (15) until year 16. You do get 2 floating holidays as well but only because CED is short 2 on the 9 required federal holidays - No work life balance. Work occasional weekends and 7-5 M-F work schedule for most positions including managers and trainees. -Job itself is not exactly fun. Lots of warehouse stocking, wire cutting, and checking in/out in every position

Pros

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad

Cons

Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
