Pros

There are no pros!! Every thing I liked about the job when I worked there was slowly taken away every year when they would “ restructure pay” and change and lessen benefits to the point of $10,000 out of pocket then insurance might pay... Sad

Cons

This is a very large company. Most companies take care of their employees. Every year the earnings/ incentives have decreased, working twice as hard as the year before to earn LESS EVERY YEAR!!! BENEFITS???? They are terrible!! Out of pocket of $10,000 before the insurance THEY TRIED TO SELL US will pay for anything!!! (Medical) Dental- to have wisdom teeth pulled it will cost $7,000 out of pocket. THIS IS DISGRACEFUL!!

Pros

Not too many. They do provide logo shirts etc.

Cons

No clear direction. Local leadership is not honest nor transparent. No annual reviews. Feedback is rare and untimely. The 80/20 business model for customer loyalty is shortsighted and surreptitious. Local GM manipulates quarterly/annual goals and gross margins effecting commissions. High turnover with Territory Managers. Conflicting sales goals and programs. Experience is not valued. Executive leadership is focused exclusively on bottom line. The running joke is instead of "Delivering What Matters" they are "Talking About What Matters". Too many generals and not enough sergeants. Some General Managers profess to be "Servant Leaders" however they are disingenuous. I wouldn't recommend working here unless you really need the job, and then, don't plan on a long and rewarding career.
