Pros

As a long time employee for over 2 decades, I have seen a lot. The compensation package is very competitive. The local culture has been great. The autonomy as a sales rep is a big plus. The company allows us to run our business within certain parameters.

Cons

We are now a BIG corporate company. We have always had the ability in the past to make decisions at the local level, but now we seem to be directed by a corporate team. As we have grown, our local levels of management have increased causing a lot of redundancy and poor communication. Our benefits are terrible for a company our size. With each acquisition, our benefits have deteriorated.

Poor management quality

Pros

Its physically demanding which is great if you enjoy a good physically laborious job.

Cons

Management communication is poor. Instead of handling potential issues immediately they drag things out and wait to say something either due to poor communication skills or for fear of potential conflict. You get delayed reviews regarding work ethic/quality. Which helps nobody and lowers moral greatly also.
