Pros

Great products and marketing department Salary competitive, benefits are ok they used to be excellent Great customer base Deep rooted history with in the building supply industry

Cons

I have never worked for a company where there is such a huge disconnect from the corporate offices to what is needed to be successful in the field. They care about one thing and one thing only how to cut back on expenses and people and not on how to grow the business. They destroyed manufacturing plants and now the products they produce don't match what once was. Was once a great company and no longer is the caring is no longer there.

Pros

Not a lot of pro’s, can get materials at cost for employees, but they put a cap on it… so.

Cons

Branch’s are run on the AS400. The system is outdated and archaic, created in 1988, and looks like they’ve updated it since. The system is horrible. Corporate overlords that have never had experience in the branch make awful decisions. Not much leadership presence in the branches, and absolutely no where to grow besides warehouse manager or branch manager unless you live in Atlanta or Ohio. People inside the branch are alright.
