Pros

-Co-workers are helpful to you, even as competitors within your territory -Quality product and renouned within the industry. The features sell themselves at times and people are satisfied with the product for years to come.

Cons

-Upper management has no experience selling in the field within the last 10-15 years. They are so out of touch with the construction industry it's not even funny. -Product is priced out of many ballparks, even low end vinyl is very expensive in comparison to similar products. -Compensation/car package is not good compared the the hours and effort put in

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
