Pros

Easy Work Easy Pay Check Good People at the Bottom

Cons

There is no hope here. Management is Top-Heavy and has no care for the people below them. The work is easy sure, but mind numbing. Summit will give you a million tasks if you are foolish enough to accept them and pay you nothing. If you join Summit, do the bare minimum for as long as it takes for you to find something better. DO NOT GET STUCK HERE! Summit loves to outside hire. You will not get a promotion, but you will train the outside hire who was just hired in above you. Sales runs the company at razor thin margins, and management are cowards to reign them in. They would genuinely celebrate if sales were above a 5% margin. It's a circus.

Pros

Coworkers are mostly kind and usually helpful.

Cons

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.
