Pros

- Company Car with paid gas & Insurance - Ipad - IPhone There are some good people that work at the company. Built good relationships with customers as well.

Cons

You will not retire from this company. One of the 3 below will occur. 1.) You will find a better career and get out of this depressing environment. 2.) You will be fired from the company due to having a great previous year. 20% growth expectation year in and year out despite economic conditions. 3.) You will have a heart attack from the stress of dealing with 15 levels of middle management, the inside sales team & the outrageous List pricing of MSC.

Pros

Salary is good, office is nice

Cons

MSC has a new CEO and several external executive leaders who have joined the organization with a clear vision to transform the business. The people are genuinely good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated. The company recognizes the need for transformation, which is why it has brought in experienced external leadership. However, there appears to be a gap between the transformation vision and the level of investment required to execute it. Large-scale initiatives often face resource and funding constraints, making it difficult to move at the pace needed
