Pros

Great products Many locations Some employees really do try

Cons

Corporate management is out of touch with their branch employees. Some local branches are run by favoritism and nepotism. HR is easily manipulated by local managers leaving employees with no recourse to save their jobs. Employee reviews are often based on incorrect information or outright lies, and your comments are ignored, leading to wrongful statements in your personnel file (which can lead to the loss of your job). Entering data seems to be more important than sales results. Sales credit for your efforts is often stolen by someone else who is a long standing employee or can work the system.

Pros

At least you have a job.

Cons

Everything. This company does not care about their employees. You’re lied to about your income. They walk you around and show you all the employees have been there for 15+ years neglect to tell you they’re in a different division than the industrial group. Coworkers do not treat each other kindly and if you think you’re going to make a commission check with this company you’re sadly mistaken.
