Pros

**Great Culture -People First -Customer & Employee Centric -Most of the team cares deeply and it shows **Fairly Nimble and DC's can make decisions that make sense to their specific markets. **Not publicly traded - Privately held --they seem to put a lot of the money back into the business and are continuing to grow

Cons

**Lack of Diversity --partly do to the industry as a whole...but there is a lack of initiatives to change this. Just look through the website and click on each division's leadership...and you will see a theme. OWM at the top of nearly every single division. --can feel like a good old boys **Technology Outdated -even though there are still good things on the horizon, they really should have been working on these projects a decade ago and still lots of areas to improve on in the technology that isn't on the horizon. **Out of date on some benefits -waiting 60+ days for benefits to kick in -only 2 weeks vacation for the first 5 years of service **Prompting mostly from within --although it's very important to focus on employee development and leadership training from within, you end up losing out on very strong and experienced candidates.
