Pros

employee owned, good benefits, somewhat flexible on the branch level, plenty of locations throughout the country, no evening weekend work

Cons

little to no opportunities for overtime for hourly workers, corporate can be a little too hands on at the branch level, upper level taken care of much more than the lower level people.

Pros

Benefits, People, Employee Ownership (Stock)

Cons

People that are promoted to mangement are done so based on preformance not on if they have the right qualities. Lack of training for staff, lack of communication of direction from management, meetings about nothing useful to the worker, management beats employees into submission without anything good to say. As an inside sales rep you spend more time being a CSR then you do selling, then get pounded by management for not selling enough. Pay is TERRIBLE, and so is sales compensation TERRIBLE. Management only gives top accounts to reps they want them to go to not people that deserve them, all top accounts for 2 reps out of a 14 rep sales staff can you say fishy, also goes along with poor management of people. I am serious do not waste your time selling for this company it is a joke, I can make more selling at Home Depot.
