Pros

Great benifits, flexible work schedule, for the most part good middle management.

Cons

Almost 25% price increases this year, in this economey, completley unrealistic. Distribution through Lowes and Contractors puts them at a 30-50% price advantage

Pros

Friendly and professional work environment Great direct sales manager Gave tools or expense account to get the job done Took care of the end user/customer nice perks when it came to training events at corporate office excellent lunches from the college on special events --- good use of community

Cons

district managers need ethics training micro managing on their largest account put their eggs in one basket with one big box analyzed too much which led to paralysis role played during training sessions and didnt see that not all employees learn in that fashion asked for feedback on everything but did not make changes quick enough diversity keep stale, status quo people in positions that should have been asked to part ways
