Pros

Once you have the job standards and procedures figured out, you can be pretty much on your own. As a part time job, the arrangement for work schedule can be very adaptable & open--as promised.

Cons

Can be (literally) very heavy at times, and, delivering that same heavy load on location, in an industrial environment can be a toasty event. In today's world, the constant -random- drug testing can be tedious. Not a job for those who like to stay clean.

Pros

Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

Cons

Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
