Coworkers are mostly kind and usually helpful.

Summit’s management structure is as bloated and incompetent. If you enjoy being paid the absolute absolute bottom of market value while wrestling with a self insurance plan that feels more like extortion than a benefit, this is the place for you. Good luck supporting your family here unless your kids eat air and your landlord accepts thoughts and prayers. Meanwhile, the sales team operates with complete immunity, chasing razor thin margins that ensure the only "bonus" the rest of us ever see is a company write off pizza party. Summit isn’t a career path, it’s a waiting room for your next job. Expect to be chronically understaffed, aggressively overworked, and relentlessly bullied for "performance" by a six-figure manager who couldn't identify an Excel cell if their life depended on it. Every single department is hemorrhaging: Warehouse: Starving on pathetic comp and choked by insurance premiums. Accounting & HR: Drowning in understaffing, abysmal pay, and bloated leadership that is either completely disassociated from reality or just downright incompetent. General Admin: Ghost town staffing and bottom tier wages. IT: 100% absorbed by the new parent company to escape the misery. The only people doing great? Sales and upper management. They remain entirely unbothered by the operational hurdles they so graciously manufacture, ruling the office with the fragile ethics and backward economics of a middle school playground.
