Pros

The team I work with. The customers who support me and my team. The fact that I live 1.25 miles away.

Cons

The hours. The constantly changing priorities. The fact that they do not hire from within. The Senior VP talks about time with your family being important, I'm sure he gets some quality time...I don't

Too worried about compliance

Pros

It can be a fun environment with a lot of good people to work with (both team members and customers)

Cons

The DM's are too worried about compliance issues. By this I mean they worry about being on the RVP's radar concerning things such as not meeting sales quotas on FIM or project packs. It's like we have lost focus on the sales, financials, and getting the customer the best, most cost effective solution. Just an example, the DM gets on a conference call and tells one store that has consistently blue weeks (current employees know what I am talking about,) that they are not doing enough because they have not sold enough FIM. I think this is just plain ignorant.
