Pros

Pay is not bad for a college student. If you’re ok with working while you friends party every weekend lol. They promote from within so that’s a really good thing but at the same time you have to get your name out here to get those better positions.

Cons

Late night and warehouse work. Not for everyone. It doesn’t seem like all opportunities are made available to the people on the floor.

Pros

Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

Cons

Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
