Pros

We are recognized fully for the job that we do. There are a lot of bonus programs in place for customer service incentives and other items like meeting or "better than budget" productivity numbers. Republic has a lot of sites nationwide which gives flexibility when relocating to other states. Republic also has an weblisting of job openings at each of the sites nationwide so people are promoted or relocated from with in when ever possible.

Cons

Working for a large corporation such as this, we can't make decisions based on the need in our market area but more so decisions are based on what Republic Corporate thinks we need. We have many small competitors in our area and need to be able to competitively run our business.

Pros

I have a good amount of freedom as I am out on the road a lot visiting current customers. Also, it is nice to work for someone who does not micro-manage.

Cons

Intra-office politics leave a lot to be desired, as one department feels pitted against another due to a difference in managing styles. Also, the benefits are not that great, they are expensive for both prescriptions and doctors' visits.
