Pros

*Pay and compensation is relatively competitive. * Paid time off and health insurance is decent * Great people to work with, current branch has cultivated a professional family oriented atmosphere. * The company normally hires internally for vacated and new positions * Services within the company "I.e." Insurance health programs designed to help you pick the right coverages, IT groups to help with software and computer problems are all available. * If you put in your time within the company the job stability is good

Cons

*Management can be lackadaisical at times *Overall the company is slow to react and make decisions in all aspects. This is a well known internal fact. *Plumbing division at branch level has an over arching theme of frat boy or good ol' boy mentality. * Work life balance was pretty much non existent for awhile but has been improving as of late * Turn over rate within warehouse groups are high and limited progression for employees. * Not many Holidays are recognized unfortunately * Be expected to work an entire weekend twice annually for inventory.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
