Pros

Alot of flexibility in terms of your career path. People from HQ are nice, helpful and freindly. I am extremely upset when I need to make a decision to choose other company over SRS.

Cons

For the first job, I didn't know better, so I thought what my branch provided were normal, but after years of business experience, I understood how "mess-up" the branch was. Depend on what branch you are assigned to, you may have the supervisor who is extremely underqualified, super arrogant and super disrespectful. I had to wait over 3 months before I finally realize it's way over the line and report to upper/senior management. -Unnecessary long hours ( this include non-value added work) (Have you ever watch The Office? that's the efficiency I am talking about. Basically need only 1~2 hours of actual work, but still be expect to stay for more than 12 hours) This is why I eventually gave up and fool around as well as I need to kill time. -Many business strategy ideas will not be accepted (the answer I constantly got is "I have been here 4 years and you have been here 4 months. so... just listen to me" ) After countless of tries, at one point I gave up on making the branch better. -Extremely unprofessional work area (curse word, F-bomb, verbal assault... you name it, flying everywhere) (Some are jokes, but some are intentional) -Extremely unorganized place. Not just in term of hygine, I am talking about business structure. (Inventory fulfillment, inventory entitlement, scheduling, forecasting, inventory cycle count, sales strategy.... ) There are so many that I don't even want to list all of them out here. Again, this is just one branch experience, I have been to a different branch and that particular branch is efficient, profitable, well organized, P&L driven.... So good luck, it really depends on which branch you get to.

Pros

Stock options. 401k. Health benefits.

Cons

Regional Managers lack leadership. They prefer to chastise instead of coach. It’s always “figure it out” when you ask for guidance. Only hear from them when something goes wrong.
