Pros

Branch Managers get a company car

Cons

EXTREMELY micromanaged, commission structure is constantly being changed (3 times this past year), constantly adding/changing policies and procedures, a lot of the changes are a result of admin's passing off their work to operations when we already can't keep up with current administrative work, upper management is untrustworthy, some upper management has in my experience withheld information in order to push their own personal agendas, fear of punishment is often used as a means of trying to get results or push for good performance, goals are almost unattainable due to workload and lack of time to focus on performance, upper management seems out of touch with local operations, high turnover rate, vey stressful, many employees would agree that we are under-appreciated, A lot of things like training are initiated as formality meant to be a form of documentation needed to terminate employees instead of an attempt to actually help or train employees. Most of the time a promotion is only available because someone either quit or got terminated,

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
