Pros

It really is in the people. I love the people I am surrounded by and they genuinely care about you and your well being. Higher ups constantly get into my territory to check it out or help me and are always only a call away. They also really emphasize the work life balance.

Cons

While the work life balance is emphasized, its mostly unrealistic. It evens out through the course of the month where i have some days where i end up only working 3-4 hours but you will have days working 12+ hours. Difficult to navigate when you first start because you dont get a ton of training and cant just lean over and ask someone next to you. This is partly because they are looking for people with good problem solving skills but when you first start it gets overwhelming. Your territory is also going to vastly change these circumstances. Territorys have different levels from entry up to where you are hand selected for having a high grit factor before you even know what state you'll be working in. You really have to think of it as 'if i do this for 1-2 years and then do Area Manager for 1-2 years, then I'm in and it will be worth it" Job is also extremely physical. Some cases weigh close to 50lbs and you may be building multiple 100 case displays some days. I think it's definitely worth a shot but this job isn't for everyone.

Pros

* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty *I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others *Strong early-career development and brand recognition

Cons

*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions *5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives *Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees *Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared *Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before *As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
