Pros

The buyers and other office staff are very helpful. Also, the warehouse staff are incredibly friendly. The owner is a very sweet older gentleman but besides that you are set up to fail.

Cons

Management does not care about you at all. I know of several people that they trick into leaving their current positions to work for them. I can't believe a company will heartlessly hire so many people with families and children only to let them go with no notice or reason. If you do not bend over backwards to share your private life or listen to their life stories instead of working you will be shunned. If you do not put on a fake smile and chit chat with the older ladies you will be reported and forced to talk to them more. Work people. Or don't lie about the family environment and let people be genuine without judgement or expectations of people's personalities be the same as yours. Stay away from this company!

Pros

Employee Lunches and "events" is how they drive culture.

Cons

Turnover. Most managers turnover in 2 years or less. Success rate for reps is sub 10%. Also they don't coach to develop, they coach to fire. Very old school way of thinking.
