Pros

benefits,3 weeks vacation,school reimbursment, health insurance is great

Cons

work too many hours, company doesnt care about you, pay considerably less than other companies, baiting you in with company vehicle and gas card only to take them away and make you purchase a specific car. company is very political

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees, help and provide constructive feedback versus believing what you want to believe. Company morale is lowest I have seen.

Pros

benefits are good
have great tools to complete the job
training is ok
vacation and personal time is fair
great sales portfolio

Cons

extremely long hours no work/life balance
company vehicles are being taken away without any change in salary
pay is a joke
upper management has loss touch with its frontline people, we are the ones making the money yet, we are the ones who have to take a reduction in pay and benefits

Advice to Senior Management

you need to take a better look at the ones who are generating the revenue to pay your salaries, we are going without more and more each year and now we are losing the company cars, my advise to you, visit the trade more often and really see how hard sales really has it, sitting behind a desk and looking at our volume numbers is not the way to generate results, there is a lot of opportunity out there and yet, we don't have the time nor the energy to devote ourselves to further the company. my advise, get out of your office chair and meet the men and women who work themselves to death for this company

Pros

-Great benefits package and tuition reimbursement.
-Global company that provides multiple locations to work.

Cons

-serious micromanagement since the merger
-upper management totally out of sync with the field. Unable to recognize the stresses its implementing.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop making decisions without speaking with front line employees.
