Pros

Good Pay and benefits Large fleet Nation account client base made up a significant portion of revenue

Cons

Most mid-level management (District Manager and above) were self-promoting and only cared about their own success and ability to be promoted. A lot of decisions were made, and a lot of great people lost due to short term thinking and decisions because they were scared for their own jobs. District and Regional management were often deceitful and misled branch employees. Bonus that were earned were cut. Some benefits were taken away, and pay has been frozen or very minimal pay increases. Meanwhile, the company has seen record results.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
