Pros

- Pay used to be good but mgmt. changed that - Had really good benefits in the past - Had a company vehicle (really scratching for pros!) - Good co-workers

Cons

- Incompetent, foul-mouthed managers that work on the bullying method. There were some really good managers but they were forced out. If you were fired by a competitor you were always welcome as a manager at UR. - Non-stop worthless meetings at all hours. Mid-day meetings that killed sales planning. - 1980's IT Dept. still using DOS based IBM AS400 system. In 2009 they added a terrible sales reporting program that added two hours to every day and was just a baby-sitting program. - Long range planning consisted of today's stock price! - Flip-flopped constantly (rate-leader, rate-matcher, contractor supply division)
