Pros

-good pay & benefits -company provides all the resources you need to do your job and do it well -the work itself is interesting

Cons

-very poor work life balance -branch employees are overloaded and being made to work 60-70 hours a week, Saturdays, and sometimes Sundays -many processes are much more complicated than they need to be -all of the acquisitions the company has done in such a short period of time has made it very volatile. Customer service has suffered alot. Great people were laid off.

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
