Pros

Great industry to work in. Good Distributors. Good team members to commiserate with.

Cons

New management style is meticuloulsy micromanaging and creating more & more reports to submit weekly. Critiques are swift and harsh. Felt like I needed to work to fill in the forms, not meet the needs of my market. Sales reflected this. Expectations of weekly work duties is unrealistic. Territories too big to work effectively - you will be outgunned by your competition by 1 to 5 in most cases. CYA is the current work style of reps - get EVERYTHING from management in writing and SAVE it on your own disc/computer. Payscale is subpar to industry. Bonus requirements are hard to achieve, travel can be extensive.

Cons

They say they are family oriented. Not. I was a lead there for 7 years. I had a co worker who would disappear for hours at a time. When I brought it to his attention. He yelled at me and made me feel uncomfortable. This was the second time him and I had a problem. They said I was the aggressor because he told me to go get my husband and I told him to shut his mouth. End of story I got fired and he got to keep his job. He has jumped on 2 other ladies. Nothing was done. Also the union president is a company man so don't expect help form the union. It is supposed to be a 4 days on and 4 days off. But they are so short handed that you end up working 2 or 3 of your days off. This is a terrible company to work for.
