Pros

There were a couple of nice people there. I think they were looking for a way out too. The job market is good. They should be able to find something good soon.

Cons

I was hired through a recruiter and she had some very positive things to say about this location so I was surprised that it was no where near what she said. It turns out the recruiters don't even know the locations or the people that work at them. They work remotely and basically throw bodies at the available openings. They don't seem to care. The workload was basically unmanageable from the start and I received no training or support like the recruiter said I would. I didn't stay too long. There are way too many options out there.

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.
