Pros

The freedom is good. For the most part Management leaves you alone to do your job.

Cons

The freedom is slowly being striped away. There is zero communication from the higher ups. The plan, if any, feels like they are running things with a blind fold on. Territories are constant being cut down and then filled with reps who are even close to competent. Customers are not happy for this and other reasons which makes it hard to look customers in the face and tell them we are the best. I can go on but I don't have time to.....

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
