Pros

Well run, family owned company for almost 100 years. Large company footprint in the PA, NJ and VA areas where there are multiple new/used vehicle dealerships as well as commercial truck leasing/sales, wholesale parts and retread tires. The company is owned by a Mennonite family and has a family representative in each dealership location. Due to Mennonite roots, they just started (in 2017-2018) training some female family members to act as "Dealers" within the company. Prior to that, the women only worked in office jobs and sales, but not management.

Cons

In the last couple of years they started including a religious booklet with each sale, proselytizing their beliefs. I felt that was not the way to do business. In addition, their religious background informs their decisions when it comes to what the company health insurance offers (and does not, including birth control). The company is rife with nepotism and hires mainly Mennonites, at least in the suburban Philadelphia area where their dealerships are located. This may be preferrable to some, but I think lack of diversity in a company is a con and religion should not play a role in your dealings with customers (ie handing out religious booklets).

Pros

Love what I do, very flexible and I get to work with great fleets. I travel and meet different people with varied situations. Consistent support from management and operations which allows me to focus on what I love most. Solving problems. As a salesperson, I prefer spending time with customers and potential clients who need solutions. Asking questions, active listening. You get all of that here. The benefits are amazing. Family company so they work with you and understand you. Great pay, great work life balance, and they work hard to create a fun culture.

Cons

Sometimes things are a bit slow and take time. Nothing crazy but I wish decision making was faster.

Pros

None. Absolutely no good things to say about this warehouse.

Cons

Micromanaging you to almost death. If you so much have to go to the bathroom you have to tell everyone on the walkie talkies Training is absolutely none existent. You do everyone else’s work and won’t be allowed to go home until it is done. Racist and prejudiced people run rampant there. If you are person of color do not look these people in the eyes at all so much say good morning. You are allowed ONE 30 minute break in a 10 hr shift. Companies that give 8hr days give you at least 2 15. Minute breaks paid but this place does not they work you until you are injured. And speaking of which, the warehouse is a OSHA nightmare. They do not have a place for any overflow they just have you leave the parts on the floor pretty much not leaving you any room to walk. If you are looking for growth… you’ll get it.. through nepotism of course . From what I gathered tfrom a co worker they haven’t received a merit based raise in 2 years. .
