      The good & bad

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      THey are a strong company wit a very strong brand. Financially stable. Highly focused on training and consistency across the sales organization. Great company to work for on the operations side, but sales people are treated like cattle who are herded in and easily replaced.

      Cons

      Opportunities for advancement are low. The "good ol boys" club is VERY tight-knit and it's very difficult to break into that group without sacrificing: pride, integrity, and work life balance. Promotions are based upon likeability rater than capability.

      Pros

      Decent pay - off weekends. Mgmt pretty flexible with schedule when needed.

      Cons

      Mgmt can sometimes be found to be inconsistent with promoting. I considered an high turn-over rate among branch management for many of the high performing branch in our market.

      Great company to work for

      Associate marketing manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company, great people, lots of opportunity to move around.

      Cons

      Not a marketing focused company, so if traditional marketing is your venue, this may not be the place for you. Lots of re-orgs and directional changes depending on who's in charge at the time.
