Pros

They hire a lot of extremely talented personnel, and you get better by being around the best. Amazing training. I went from the Service department to sales and training is paramount no matter the division or position. Great opportunity to promote, even moreso if you are an aggressive individual that is prepared to move a few times.

Cons

Caustic "happy/lovey/over the top" culture that demeans all thinking individuals during all emails and social media posts. I get building a team, but it was taken to an extreme that I have never witnessed, and I currently work for a family run company. It comes off as extremely fake and disingenuous. Not a fan. They have taken the lean process to another level when it comes to headcount. The managers are encouraged to run as tight a headcount as possible. You are always short at least 1 person.

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.
