Pros

Great equipment and availability makes my job easier and less stressful. This gives me an edge over my competition. Also, I receive a company truck that is free as well as fuel is paid for. This allows me to stay in front of my customers over my competition. My sales territory is also reasonably sized. My management is also reasonably laid back and allows us to manage our territories how we see fit as a sales team. This allows us to focus on how to properly manage our business and not just invent an unreasonable plan every week.

Cons

This is hardly a complaint, but I wish we had the option for higher end vehicles as well as more freedom with how we used them.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
