Pros

- Pay used to be good but mgmt. changed that - Had really good benefits in the past - Had a company vehicle (really scratching for pros!) - Good co-workers

Cons

- Incompetent, foul-mouthed managers that work on the bullying method. There were some really good managers but they were forced out. If you were fired by a competitor you were always welcome as a manager at UR. - Non-stop worthless meetings at all hours. Mid-day meetings that killed sales planning. - 1980's IT Dept. still using DOS based IBM AS400 system. In 2009 they added a terrible sales reporting program that added two hours to every day and was just a baby-sitting program. - Long range planning consisted of today's stock price! - Flip-flopped constantly (rate-leader, rate-matcher, contractor supply division)

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
