Pros

People, they are a good helpful bunch that are fiercely loyal. Great facilities. Good flexibility. Room to move around laterally and marginally upward if you work at it. Big player in industry.

Cons

Systems are outdated and inefficient. Few strong managers. Slow to change. Hire outside for important roles. Can be political when involving legacy staff.

Pros

Co-workers are nice. Pay is comparable to most entry level positions of outside sales. Most employees have worked for the company for a long time and will make you feel very welcomed.

Cons

There is no communication between management. As an outside sales rep, you would physically have to drive to corporate office just to get one question answered for a customer because certain decision makers would not answer the phone or respond to emails. No room for advancement. High turn over in the Residential Sales Division.

Pros

Above average pay. Good benefits. Opportunities for progression. Decent location. Good people working here, it's like coming to work with a good group of friends.

Cons

Information overload. They have a great trainig department but there is so much information to learn it can not possibly ALL be taught during an 10 week training course. If you already know the industry you have a leg up but the hardest thing to master are the computer programs and ever changing processes and procedures. ALOT of on the job training. Processes and procedures are changing everyday. Poor communication between departments. No sense of any foward planning or inclusion in company goals. Operating most of the company on outdated computer programs and sales strategies. Poor attrition rate in many departments. Compensation across the board should be more based on the industry and market but Guardian can afford to be a little cheap with salary as they are on of the few companies consistently hiring in this area. Don't expect to gross more than $40,000 unless you are in upper management or a department head. All lower level positions will pay less than this. Typical starting salary is $12-$16 if you are lucky.
