Pros

Good pay and benefits, nothing else!

Cons

Always mandatory overtime with very little notice or no notice at all. They act like they are all about community and family but could care less about thier own employees families and needs. They made the exit for employees very dangerous coming out onto Rt 176. They never care about safety until someone actually does get hurt, then they will threaten your job and give you points even if it was thier fault with the occurance. They use people for positions such as lead positions and office positions. They ask you to be back up for these positions and never advance the employee or give the title. They want employees to have more responsibilities but no title or pay for that position. They totally look down to distribution associates-Order Processing- recieving- Set Assembly and even some office workers in the warehouse. They will listen to your concerns and do nothing about them and ignore you afterwards for along time. Place is fine, it is managment that has to be changed. Does not matter how big the building is going to be! Alot of favortism in advancing!

Pros

The only pro is that I am able to leave with out total financial ruin, unlike co-workers.

Cons

You will lose money out of pocket on any Equipment Sales position. Be careful on Glass Door that you seek out the exact job description. ESS ratings are all one or two star reviews on here. No one actually makes money. The pay plan changes every year. % goes down every year. Ask them to show you previous pay plans. There is no base pay. The non accountable expense plan will have the IRS all over you. The company is run by old school, tech-phobic dinosaurs who are blatantly racist, homophobic, and sexist. The product has gotten worse and worse the last few years. There is no marketing. You will compete with chain stores selling the same equipment branded as Hoffman for less money. Tool dealers will not help you because they are paid by Hunter. No one lasts at this job. The turn over is more than half every year. It is a scam. Run away. Your expenses and the level of micromanaging will give you heart trouble.
