      Pros

      Employee ownership, stock sharing, good working environment, great retirement plan, many opportunities for growth if you are willing to relocate to a new location

      Cons

      Horrible company values, pay is very poor compared to market, the hiring is an absolute joke, worst sales rep compensation plan

      We are sorry you feel our sales compensation program is not a good plan. We encourage you to share your specific concerns with your manager or Director of HR.

      Pros

      It’s a paycheck. No nights. No weekends. Pretty decent benefits, but pricey. Apparently a good stock option plan, but I’d rather make the salary I was anticipating, and invest it myself.

      Cons

      Too many to list. The main one is that even if you’re hired as a ST, plan on spending all of your time working in will call, or behind the parts counter. The sales position you were hired for? Once I was there, I was told you will get that when someone leaves. For reasons I’m not seeing, people don’t leave. Find another job. Thank me later.

      Employee morale is diminishing, does not feel like an employee owned company

      Pros

      If you have invested a lot of years and money into their stock, it will supplement your retirement.

      Cons

      Constant push for more sales from upper management. Employees who are not in the sales department get little to no acknowledgement for their hard work.

      Thank you for your review. As an employee-owned company, we wholeheartedly believe our employees are the key to our success, and we value everyone’s contribution - sales and non-sales employees - equally. I’m sorry you feel like this is not your experience.
