Pros

The salary and benefits are good.

Cons

The upper management thinks they can set nationwide policies and procedures that will fit all 600 branches of the company, regardless of the markets. They have everything they do written down in policy and procedure bulletins, but the rules are routinely ignored, and if you report it you are subject to retaliation by your manager. They just eliminated another batch of people, and they picked some of the best people to get rid of, thinking they can get the same job done with less people, or that they can hire idiots for less money. We'll see how it works for them.

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.
