Pros

The support from coworkers and managers makes our BSE branch feel more like a family than a place of employment, variety of career paths, great benefits, competitive pay, weekends/holidays off, fixed schedule, very friendly environment, peer to peer accountability, managers trust and support employee decisions/ Looking back to my first couple of months, the amount of knowledge that I've gained since starting at Border States Electric, seemed unimaginable. My manager / supervisor allow me to make changes and/or additions that will allow me to better serve my customers.

Cons

My target market is a niche market. Often times my branch doesn't stock the material that my customers need immediately. With that being said, my leadership team supports me 100% when I actively bring new material into stock in hopes to avoid these issues.

Pros

Great people to work with. Great team atmosphere. Hard work though.

Cons

Hard work, somewhat repetitive, lots and lots of walking. I think there could be some improvements in efficiency.
