Pros

Stable leadership. Family owned. Good compensation plan. Plenty of opportunities for new business. Expanding line of products. Competitive advantage in most markets.

Cons

BWI likes new technology in theory, but struggles to apply it in ways that are useful or profitable. This results in weird scenarios where catalogs aren't printed because " everything is going digital" yet the website is the worst in the industry.

Unlimited Potential

Pros

Unlimited potential - how far you go is totally up to you. Great benefits and the pay is top notch - the best in the industry. Great training program and good support from coworkers, inside sales, accounting, buyers etc... Overall good attitude from everyone. Forward looking management and a competitive environment. I can't think of a better place to start as an outside sales rep or to have a long successful career.

Cons

Can be very political. Management does not seem to trust outside sales reps. You have to constantly defend decisions you make in your territory ex: prices, margins, collections, returns.... I understand accountability and the company's need to make a profit, I just don't think that management should assume that the sales rep is doing something shady or wrong from the start.

Pros

Company truly cares about its employees. You always know what is expected of you. Lots of potential for a motivated employee.

Cons

Too stagnant at the top. Not much support from corporate - technical, informational, or educational. Lots of top down decisions. Very slow to adapt to changing market conditions and market needs.
