      Pros

      Benefits, job security, a good learning stepping stone.

      Cons

      It feels wrong to rip off customers. We do this daily. Either we are ripping off our customers for a quick buck or slipping one past our DM so the customer makes a quick buck. Either way, and I'm uncomfortable. Culture is awful and abusive. I was told if I didn't like the sales territories, "Apply elsewhere and we'll sue you for enforcement of your non-compete." This came true for the last guy so I'm kind of scared. We quote projects at low rates, with no idea of how to accomplish the job. This makes me feel like any day we will be exposed.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

      Cons

      Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
