Pros

Vast network that is always growing. More products then most of the competition. since being around since 1842 they are staple in this industry. management will see to it that you are trained and by the end of it you will be comfortable selling all 70,000 products. Pay is above average but if the market is good you are able to make a lot. great benefits.

Cons

so many variables go into completing an order that sometimes there will be a hitch. customers can get mad when deliveries aren't made. no matter the job you will see problems like this.

Pros

Hard work gets noticed and rewarded. If you have the right attitude and drive, you are going to find success. Supportive managers who coach and mentor. Most people are friendly and easy to get along with. Pay and benefits above average. Tend to promote from within the organization, lots of opportunities for advancement (especially if geographically mobile).

Cons

Slow moving organization, lots of initiatives to promote new ideas run into wall of long-time employees who have little interest in adapting. Some locations have bad reputations.

Pros

Some good people work there ( Warehouse and Front office) Good pay. They get you all the PPE you need. I'm just happy that I could escape!

Cons

Warehouse supervisor is disregarding to others and very crude has a bad day about 90% off the week. Backstabbing, disregarding crude workplace. No chance for advancement to a different position( all occupied by longtime employees who can do whatever they want and being glued to their chairs! Warehouse and warehouse equipment is falling apart; something is down every day. It' s a miracle that nobody was seriously hurt within the time I worked there. Unfortunately, I wasted one and a half years. I feel sorry for some warehouse staff since they have to work their butt off, they have no voice and no lobby.
