Pros

Being the last to the table offering VMI solutions to customers in Western Canada would be like Valen offering the same in Eastern Canada. Good luck to anyone with that. BERWARE!

Cons

The manager is more concerned with reporting, having countless meetings and micro-management than you actually getting in front of customers, yet demands results, it seems. Managers sit in their home offices babysitting their kids all day long making their subordinates miserable. Boatloads of onboarding and training to make your head spin.

Pros

Breadth of product, decent legacy.

Cons

Compensation is below average for sales. Upper Management claims they want you paid, but it doesn't equate to being the front facing person to customers and taking all the heat, when the admin levels screw up your business. The company used to be great and really coalesced around it's culture, and I feel that is a thing of past with the new upper management. I don't feel most of the upper management is qualified to be making the decisions that they do, it seems like they are fraternity that just keep shifting from position to position.
