Pros

Atmosphere in the store locations and warehouses are friendly.

Cons

Corporate management doesn't know which way is up. The marketing and IT departments are the size of a company 5 times their size eating up tons of profits. Management does not take complaints seriously even when they involve harassment or discrimination. The entire company runs on a good 'ol boy mentality. They won't hire a male receptionist because it's a woman's job. You can't be too pretty though or you will be a distraction for their sales staff. If you do want to work here, be a part of the sales training program. They are treated like gold while the rest of the warehouse workers are completely disregarded. They take your initial personality test as the bible and you may not be considered for other positions or promotions if you have the "wrong" personality type.

Pros

local sales teams and Systems.

Cons

The company has forgotten it is a sales organization. The new executive team is focused on more operations then sales. The company is trying to become a Amazon type business and has hired people that lack an understanding of the electrical distribution business. The long term effect will the loss of sales and people. The owner has lost key personnel and it is starting to impact his company from top down. We have lost ground with most key manufactures in the markets because of the the lack of relationships with the executive team. Thus make it hard to win projects. Summit pay and benefits seem to be lacking compared to the industry standards.
