Pros

Employee Ownership payout, fair income potential, upward growth potential, relocation opportunities, good benefits, good employment for someone hungry to change a poor situation

Cons

What have you done for me lately mentality, management constantly shuffling, quality of management varies greatly by location, high top down pressure on sales and revenue targets and initiatives, middle management is a pressure cooker, newly acquired branches tend to lose moral and culture when new policies take over, sales contests or rewards feel like they look for ways to not qualify vs helping you qualify, Marketing metrics supersede sales metrics, pressured sales changes aiming for a robotic sales force, production teams have negative outlook to sales team,
