Pros

The people that work here are fantastic, and as of the last few years this office is locally owned. The job is very autonomous and has a lot of freedom and flexibility as long as you hit your numbers. You are essentially running your own business and you choose how successful you are. The earning potential is awesome and the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

There is a lot of computer work that goes into this job and eats up a lot of time, some days it feels like your not even a sales rep. The company has grown sales a lot in a short amount of time and the infrastructure has not caught up yet, leaving more work for the reps that shouldn't be their responsibility. There is a very large learning curve when entering this industry. There was very minimal room for growth.

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.
