Pros

Company car and hood benefits. Lots of items to sell! But will never get delivered.. Check never bounces. Oh!! And they pay for your gas

Cons

Micromanagement taking over here!! Be careful reading good reviews here! Guaranteed they are written from upper management because they are losing people faster than they can hire!! Unattainable commission plan,branch meetings have no direction, market manager lives for micro management!! And only hires people he can manipulate and control! If your looking for a check until u find a real job you will be fine but don't plan a life here!!

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good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated.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
