Pros

Good Benefits, room to advance, generous emergency leave time, cares about employees safety, compassion fund

Cons

Takes advantage of employees, makes college interns perform duties that are not part of the internship, does not promote from within, does not care about life away from work, long hours, underpay employees not in management or sales, little acknowledgement from management, toxic work environment, outside all day, management nitpicks everything, outside sales do not pull their share of the workload, usually understaffed, nonethical business practices, no bonuses for hourly employees while management and sales get bonuses, gives the lowest paid people majority of the work, everything is a rush, when on call you can be called out anytime of the day, management does not hold up to their promises, threats to fire people over little mistakes, no incentives for hourly employees. Not a good place to work if you are not in management or sales. You will be asked to do duties that are not in your job title with no additional pay or acknowledgement from management. If you are a tech, driver, or EA you will be treated as the bottom of the barrel. Inside sales also have a lot of pressure on them from management. They would rather quantity over quality. They care more about the customer than employee.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
