Business Outlook

Pros

The BMT program is fast-paced and full of information. Upper management is easily accessible and always willing to help. The training is thorough. Entry level salary is above the market average & company vehicle.

Cons

Can be relocated at anytime. This uncertainty is uncomfortable and makes life planning difficult. Prior to accepting the position, you are made aware that relocation is a possibility but not at the first interview. Benefits are not great.
