Pros

This company gave me amazing personal development skills and assisted me in creating an amazing resume in sales and helped me land an amazing job elsewhere. The Benefits were outstanding. The employee picnics are wonderful because they have free beer so you can forget about work for once on there dime.

Cons

The pay was really poor especially since the sales departments are usually short staffed with absolutely no extra compensation but yes to extra stress. It feels like I was back in school with all of the extra non sense they throw at you every week from left field with due dates!! Any issues start with the sales rep. Then get passed to a department with one great lady in there. The company over works you and under pays you. Watch out for the "executive team" and the Many vp's they have. You have to thresten to leave to get a raise. Promotions are not handed out. No opportunities to move to outside sales as they claim "this is where it starts as an isr and then you get to outside sales" yeah, you get the amazing training and go make bank elsewhere by finding s great company and promoting yourself!! You don't matter but the company does. No hurricanes, no sales, no bonuses. Rename sales reps. To account executives or managers.

Pros

Lots of overtime(instead of higher pay) Their checks don`t bounce

Cons

Very low pay,no balance between work and home life,unsafe forllift drivers especially in the shipping area. Once you at the "top" of your labor grade(pay scale) thats it. Doing more or going beyond is not rewarded Micro managed,and badly at that The bureaucracy Revolving door of employees...if you stay a year thats a long time Management is very disrespectful to employees,unless your a pretty woman or drink with the supervisor at lunch No drug testing,not even after an injury No saftey concern is addressed until AFTER and injury occurs Bonus structure is terrible...you might get a little something,if they dont spend money to polish the shop floors I could go on and on...do yourself a favor and stay away

Great growth opportunities

Pros

Growing, fast-paced company with a lot of opportunity to grow. Good benefits and a do what it takes to get it done culture. Great products where quality, safety and support are a driving force for development.

Cons

Given the growth, change is constant and priorities shift. The bigger the organization gets the harder it is to get things done and the longer it takes
