Pros

Good training, freedom of workspace, great environment, lots of travel opportunities, and a great community of employees. Also the free beer.

Cons

A bit disorganized when it came to overall department goals and projects. Inconsistent in decisions about moving forward with new technologies.

Worst time of my life

Pros

Fast growing company in a busy industry. They strive to be the best distributor.

Cons

They treat their employees like utter crap and underpay them at any chance they can get. They find excuses to cut chunks of your monthly incentive. I was a faithful dedicated employee for 7 years. I drug my personal life through the gutters to do what was demanded of me by the company. And in the end, I was fired because I asked for help and voiced myself within the company. My sales route had grown so large, that I was doing the volume of 2-3 other routes combined. When the workload became too much, I started to fall behind. I expressed the issues to my managers only to be ignored and flat out told "deal with it". When my manager finally rode along with me, and saw everything that I had been telling them for months, he suspended me the next day, and I got fired a week later.

Pros

Move around a lot not in the same place to long...

Cons

Over worked.. 10 hours day or more. To much work load for the staff we have and to get the work done and make it look good. one minute we are forced to work overtime the next minute we are told to cut hours but do the same work that we did with loads of overtime... Crappy fellow employees that need to be fired... Lower pay than all other merchandiser!
