Pros

If you are just getting into a management career it is a great place to start. Significant investment in training.

Cons

Long hours. No consideration for work/life balance. Processes and procedures are administratively burdensome. Contact between operations and corporate is not encouraged and is limited. Very controlled environment. Little to no autonomy in purchasing. Heavy administrative requirements at all levels. Benefit options are numerous, however the cost involved is higher than I would expect from a company of this size.

Pros

Company provided vehicle and phone. Support from management and encouragement to grow. Commission is solid, employee stock program, and commission from misc. sales.

Cons

Work life balance is tough depending on your route and how far from home the area you cover is. If you have long drives, it can take a toll on your back.
