Pros

The salary structure is competetive. The medical, dental and vision benefits are very good. The large number of locations provides opportunities for advancement and also the ability to relocate. There are areas where the company has benefitted from good personnel and strong leadership, it is in these locations where it is possible a enjoyable and successful career with a single company.

Cons

In some districts advancement depends on favoritism and kowtowing over ability and experience. This company is losing a lot of talented employees to their competition because of poor management. Policies are selectivly enforced. Safety is preached but often overlooked when it conflicts with profitability or expediance.

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.
