Pros – Good product overall , a bit expensive.

Cons – some regional managers have other agendas in mind, rather than letting the salespeople flurish, they look after their bonus instead. you bring in new customers and then they dont need you anymore.

Pros – Lots of room for growth, and new development within other business sectors. Competitive pay, promotions from within. Excellent health and benefits.

Pros – NONE unless you are not motivated to make a better living and move up in the company. But if you're just a floater milking it temporarily you'll be fine there. And I say temporarily because the milk truck is going to be breaking down soon when it becomes a Grainger-type place with $10/hr employees.

Cons – Horrible management. Total incompetence on all levels. It's NOT a performance-based company, hence all the incompetence. People who barely made it through high school got all the high-paying management positions due ONLY to nepotism and brown-nosing. HR is a joke - good luck getting your first paycheck! Over-all it's a culture of disrespect unless you're there because you're someone's relative in the company.

Advice to Senior Management – LEAD! Learn how to actually manage, Stop biting the hands that feed you!
