Pros

Good rank and file people to work with. The company's mid-level managers are so inept that it provides many opportunities for comic relief during the day.

Cons

Senior management is oblivious to the bumbling ineffectiveness of their middle management pinheads. Corporate management is hell bent on hiring 'fresh' faces directly out of college, with the intent of molding them in their own image, only to see those fresh faces bolt after 12-24 months. Associates in any department other than sales are seen as inferior and insignificant. All departments except sales are understaffed and overworked, as well as assigned "WIGs" (wildly important goals) that are unattainable and beyond their scope of control anyway. Management sends out annual (anonymous) internal employee surveys that continuously receive negative feedback, then act surprised at the responses and call for 'team meetings' to determine what can be done to improve morale...then ignore the conclusions of those groups. They invest no money in new technology, choosing instead to prop up an extinct operating system and database.

Pros

Unfortunately there are not many benefits to working at SunSource. Some people are nice and helpful, but very isolated feeling when in office.

Cons

The pay is less than stellar and below industry standards. Management tends to only focus on the employees that are in their 'inner group'. A very dictatorial style management style that focuses on the sales department only. SunSource has been going through economic decline for years and there is the message be open to change. Once a change is recommended taking a new direction it is met with scorn or disapproval from the top executives unless it is 'their idea'. Very good ole' boy system which leads to not being in the know how when revolving around your job responsibilities. I would not recommend and only as a stepping stone.
