Pros

Great onboarding process for new employees Plenty of support from coworkers Will gain a lot of experience with customer service and knowledge on the equipment Will work with not only sales reps but service as well Great team atmosphere A ton of emphasis on safety for employees and customers

Cons

You can be easily overlooked since it is such a big company. No one will care about your tenure or how much experience you have under your belt If you work out in the field do not expect the support office to be "supportive". Most don't know what they are doing or just show little interest in helping. Don't expect timely (or none at all) responses if you reach out to some departments CRM they use called Wynne is extremely outdated and not user friendly Don't expect a lot of growth with this company especially if you don't have good connections with a higher up. You'll be expected to stay put until someone quits, retires, leaves, or gets fired The corporate office does whatever they want at any time. They will roll out new things for the field just to keep up with competition. No guidance or instructions all learn on the fly. If you do not enjoy customer service DO NOT TAKE A JOB IN THE FIELD. Depending on certain situations there can be a disconnect between inside sales, outside sales, and service. Each department is told different procedures and it will feel like no one is on the same page and nothing gets resolved. The issues get repeated. Certain accounts get away with way too much as far as billing and credit issues go and no one takes the time to investigate what happened before issuing a credit. Pay is not much for inside sales and benefits aren't that great

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
