Pros

They have excellent benefits and most of your co-workers are fun and easy to get a long with. They do have opportunities for growth in just about every state nation wide.

Cons

During the recession, they have taken advantage of their employees quite a bit. We understand that we've shut down businesses and had to eliminate people, but it has been 4 years since our last 'real' raise. On top of that, with all of the lay-offs, one person is doing the work of 3. Incentive programs have been eliminated unless you are in upper management. They still get their bonuses. In a better economy, it's not all bad. With the recession, this job will burn you out.....

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
