Pros

Training All the overtime you want New equipment The list has gotten smaller as implementation of new practices are added along with your already large workload

Cons

Trench underpaid compared to other divisions High turnover at trench branches Safety is preached but they keep branches lean and understaffed, so you generally have to cut corners Pay is 15% lower than competitors Benefits are not as good anymore

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.
