Pros

Independant work environment,first class accommodations at training events.They treat you very well during training. Training is top notch, it is fast paced and covers a lot of great information.

Cons

Company Completely changed its philosophy about a year after my hire. it went from employee owned to investment group owned. it is a 1099 postion so you are expected to work 65-70 hours a week, and you are not compensated for any expenses. So your "draw" is actually worth about 50% when you account for expenses. My area manager is te worst leader I have ever worked for. Upper managment is supportive but tends to play inner circle political games. If you have the skills to do this job (successfully) you should not consider working here.

Pros

My immediate supervisors were great. My teams were amazing. Even the temporary staff we hired for the season were usually pretty awesome. 11 paid holidays. 3 weeks vacation after 5 years... A week PTO .. that's 31 work days as paid time off! And if you schedule it right during holidays you could be off for 3 weeks and only use a week vacation 😂

Cons

Upper Management took the lean manufacturing process too far. Six Sigma processes have their place and can be beneficial when applied properly. However when it came to redistribution of responsibility and telling employees they would now be responsible for not only A, B, C, but L, M,N, O and Z as well with no increase in pay or benefits. They also expected everyone to not only accept their new responsibilities but did not allow for any additional time in the day to complete the extra work. I thought that's taking it a bit too far.
