Pros

If you can get with the right Branch Manager, this is a good company to work for. However, they are very "good old boys" mentality. If you fit in you will be rewarded mightly with a very good pay and career path.

Cons

God help you if you get someone that is only worried about their own agenda as they will make your life a living nightmare. The place I worked was openly a OSHA terrible hazardardous place to work. They cut cost by not supplying adequate racking or safety equipment.

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.
