Pros

Very product focused and safety focused. Strong engineering focused company. Good bonus in good times and strong emphasis on keeping an ethical work environment.

Cons

Not a lot of job movement, at least in my area. Difficult to promote self as few higher levels become available to move to. If you are creative and or group oriented not a good fit. Training could be better designed and moved to different agents.

Pros

-Co-workers are helpful to you, even as competitors within your territory -Quality product and renouned within the industry. The features sell themselves at times and people are satisfied with the product for years to come.

Cons

-Upper management has no experience selling in the field within the last 10-15 years. They are so out of touch with the construction industry it's not even funny. -Product is priced out of many ballparks, even low end vinyl is very expensive in comparison to similar products. -Compensation/car package is not good compared the the hours and effort put in
