Pros

Decent pay for entry level (too bad it rarely increases), opportunities to transfer to different locations, 401K match, great place to make lasting friendships.

Cons

In a five year period I got less than $100 per month salary increase and my bonuses actually went DOWN, yet worked longer and harder than ever! Management was completely oblivious to the happenings in the showroom- much more focused on selling pipe and hiring outside sales staff for that side of the business than bringing in a much needed showroom administrator for overworked, underpaid showroom consultants. People who deserve to move up in the company dont, some actually move back, and those that are incompetent seem to be the ones who are promoted.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
