Pros

Fast growing company, new/exciting projects and challenges, exceptionally talented employees, continuously invest in new tools and technologies so there is always lots to learn. Management shows great amount of people focus. Small town has its advantages - everyone knows everyone else so there is a generally very respectful environment. Little to no commute to deal with. Schools are very good.

Cons

Career growth is not quite in line with other companies I have been in. Winters are long and harsh and there are very limited entertainment options in town.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
